Clinical analysis on the technique of transverse fascia reinforcement with biological mesh in young inguinal hernia patients / 中国实用外科杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the application value of biological mesh in inguinal hernia patients aged from 18 to44 years old. METHODS: The clinical data of 127 patients with inguinal hernia admitted from January 2013 to December 2018 in Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were analyzed retrospectively. Through the abdominal transverse fascia reinforcement with biological mesh(tTRB), it was to observe indicators during perioperative and followup periods, to explore the application value and treatment experience of biological mesh in young patients with inguinal hernia. RESULTS: All the 127 cases were successfully completed. There were obvious pain in 3 cases and scrotal edema in 3 cases. No other patients were found to have obvious discomfort. All patients had no complications such as recurrence, chronic pain and infection after 3 to 12 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: The rational use of biological mesh to repair young and middle-aged patients with inguinal hernia is effective. The advantage is that the effect of mesh minimize the impact on long-term quality of life in young patients. At the same time, the risk of postoperative infection and chronic pain is effectively reduced by reinforcement of transverse fascia with biological mesh, which is worthy of further study.
