Comparison of postoperative pain and foreign body sensation in patients with inguinal hernia treated by laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal and open transinguinal preperitoneal / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compara the postoperative pain and foreign body sensation in patients with inguinal hernia treated by laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and open transinguinal preperitoneal (TIPP).Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 180 patients with inguinal hernia admitted to the Daxing District People's Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to January 2018,male 158 cases,female 22 cases,average age 56 years old,age range 23-80 years old.Including 110 patients in the TAPP group and 70 patients in the TIPP group,patients in the TAPP group were treated with laparoscopic TAPP,and patients in the TIPP group were treated with open TIPP.Pain degree was assessed with pain visual analogue scale (VAS) postoperatively at 3 weeks,3 months and 6 months.The incidence of chronic pain was measured at 3 weeks,3 months,and 6 months after surgery,and the incidence of foreign body sensation at 3 months was recorded.Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD),t test was used for comparison between groups;Chi-square test was used for compare the count data between groups.Results At 3 weeks,3 months,and 6 months after surgery,the mean value of pain VAS in the TAPP group was lowerthan in the TIPP group [(0.07 ± 0.40) scores vs (0.37 ± 0.94) scores,(0.03 ± 0.16) scores vs (0.24 ± 0.69) scores,(0.01 ± 0.10) scores vs (0.14 ± 046) scores],and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.004,0.002,0.004).The incidence of pain in the TAPP group was 3.6％,2.7％,and 0.9％ at 3 weeks,3 months,and 6 months after surgery,respectively.The incidence of pain in the TIPP group was 14.3％,11.4％,and 10.0％,respectively.The difference was statistically significant (P =0.021,0.040,0.012).At 3 months postoperatively,there were 2 cases (1.8％) in the TAPP group and 12 cases (17.1％) in the TIPP group with the foreign body sensation.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =14.006,P =0.000).Conclusion Compared with the open TIPP,the laparoscopic TAPP is used to repair the inguinal hemia,The postoperative pain is milder,and the incidence of chronic pain and foreign body sensation was lower.
