ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In daily surgical practice, inguinal hernioplasty is a frequent procedure that is frequently accompanied by severe postoperative pain. Multiple regional blocks have been described for analgesia after such operations. Retrolaminar block (RLB) is a paravertebral block (PVB) variant that provides excellent analgesia and reduces the risk of complications. This prospective trial compared the analgesic efficacy of PVB and RLB in the inguinal hernioplasty. METHODS: The 56 patients included were randomly assigned into two equal groups according to the block performed under ultrasound guidance at the T12 level: PVB group (28 patients) and RLB (28 patients). Time until the first rescue analgesia was our primary outcome. Other outcomes included the time to perform the block, changes in intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, postoperative VAS, 24-h morphine consumption, the level of patient satisfaction, and the incidence of block-related complications. RESULTS: Demographic data were comparable in the two groups. However, the time needed for the block was significantly shortened with the RLB (p < 0.001). Patients in the PVB groups expressed better pain scores and lower opioid consumption. Additionally, the time to the first call for opioid analgesia showed a significant prolongation in association with the PVB. There was no discernible difference in the frequency of adverse events and recorded MAP and HR. CONCLUSION: The PVB has a superior perioperative analgesic profile compared to the RLB, which manifested in the prolonged duration to the first rescue analgesics, better pain scores, and less opioid consumption, with no significant increase in block-related complications.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Antecedentes: La hernioplastia inguinal es el procedimiento quirúrgico más frecuentemente realizado dentro de la Cirugía General. Se realizan anualmente 20 millones de hernioplastias; la técnica de Lichtenstein y la transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) mediante cirugía laparoscópica son las más utilzadas. Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio es valorar la factibilidad de la realización del TAPP, en un centro universitario, por parte de residentes y cirujanos jóvenes en formación. Se comparó dicho procedimiento con la técnica de Lichtenstein valorando los resultados en los primeros 30 días del posoperatorio. Las principales variables para estudiar fueron: complicaciones, dolor posoperatorio, estadía hospitalaria y costo del procedimiento. Como variables para estudiar, a largo plazo, se compararon la recidiva herniaria y el dolor crónico. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional comparando dos técnicas quirúrgicas utilizando la base de datos del Servicio con información adquirida de forma prospectiva. Se analizaron 80 pacientes, divididos en dos grupos: hernioplastia de Lichtenstein (grupo1) y hernioplastia por TAPP (grupo 2), durante el período comprendido desde mayo de 2015 hasta mayo de 2019, en dos Centros Universitarios de Montevideo Uruguay (Hospital de Clínicas y Hospital Español). Resultados: No hubo diferencia significativa en la estadía hospitalaria y complicaciones posoperatorias. El grupo del Lichtenstein presentó una recidiva herniaria. La hernioplastia laparoscópica presentó un tiempo operatorio promedio de 20 minutos más y el costo de materiales fue mayor. Si bien el dolor posoperatorio en las primeras 24 horas fue mayor en TAPP, el dolor a las 48 horas, 7días, un mes, tres meses y seis meses fue similar en ambos grupos. Conclusión: La técnica de TAPP, para la hernia inguinal primaria unilateral, es factible de ser realizada por cirujanos jóvenes o en formación, con un porcentaje de complicaciones, dolor posoperatorio y recidivas similares al Lichtenstein, aunque con un costo de materiales y tiempo operatorio levemente mayor.


ABSTRACT Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common procedures in general surgery. Each year, 20 million surgeries for inguinal hernia repaired are performed; the most common techniques used are the Lichtenstein procedure and the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) laparoscopic approach. Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the outcomes of the TAPP approach performed by residents and young surgeons in training in a university center. TAPP was compared with the Lichtenstein and the outcomes at 30 days were compared. The variables considered were complications, postoperative pain, length of hospital stay and procedure-related costs. The long-term variables analyzed were recurrence and chronic pain. Material and methods: We conducted an observational study comparing two surgical techniques, using prospectively acquired information from the database of our department. The cohort was made up of 80 patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair in two university-based hospitals in Montevideo, Uruguay (Hospital de Clínicas and Hospital Español), between May 2015 and May 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: Lichtenstein procedure (group 1) and TAPP procedure (group 2). Results: There were no significant differences in length of hospital stay and postoperative complications. One patient in the Lichtenstein group presented hernia recurrence. Mean operative time was 20 minutes longer with laparoscopic hernia repair, and the cost of the materials was higher. Postoperative pain at 24 hours was greater in the TAPP group, but was similar at 48 hours, 7 days, one month, three months and six months in both groups. Conclusion: The use of TAPP technique for unilateral primary inguinal hernia is feasible to perform by young surgeons or surgeons in training, and the percentage of complications, postoperative pain and recurrences is similar to that of the Lichtenstein technique, although the cost of materials and operative time are slightly higher.

ABSTRACT

Paciente de 22 años de edad con antecedentes de salud. Hacía un mes se le había practicado una hernioplastia inguinal izquierda, y aproximadamente dos semanas después, comenzó a presentar aumento de volumen y dolor en el dorso del pene, tanto al tacto como con la erección. Al examen físico se constató, que la vena dorsal superficial del pene estaba aumentada de volumen, de color rojizo y dolorosa a la palpación. En el ultrasonido doppler-color peniano, se comprobó el engrosamiento de la pared de dicha vena, trombosis de esta, disminución del flujo sanguíneo, así como dolor al contacto del transductor. Se le indicó reposo sexual, tratamiento con antiinflamatorios no esteroideos y corticoides orales, además de iontoforesis local con pomada de heparina sódica. El paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente, con la desaparición del dolor y la recanalización de la vena dorsal del pene. La aparición de la tromboflebitis de Mondor del pene, con posterioridad a una hernioplastia inguinal, es excepcional. Su sospecha clínica más la confirmación con el ultrasonido doppler-color, son pilares básicos para el diagnóstico de certeza. El tratamiento conservador ofrece óptimos resultados.


A male patient aged 22 years with a history of health problems. One month before, he had undergone left inguinal hernioplasty, but two weeks after surgery, he began suffering pain in the back of the penis together with increased volume, both on touch and at erect state. The physical examination revealed that the superficial dorsal vein of the penis was more swollen, red-colored and painful on palpation. Doppler-color ultrasound of the penis confirmed thickening of the vein wall, thrombosis, lower blood flow and patient's feeling of pain when the transducer touched it. He was prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs plus oral corticosteroids, cessation of sexual intercourse, in addition to local ionphoresis with sodium heparin ointment. The patient's progression was satisfactory since pain disappeared and the dorsal vein of the penis was re-canalized. Mondor's thrombophlebitis of the penis rarely occurs after inguinal hernioplasty. Clinical suspicion plus Doppler-color US confirmation are basic pillars for a correct diagnosis. The conservative treatment offers optimal outcomes.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The use of autoadhesive meshes with hooks that allow fixation without sutures is a therapeutic alternative to decrease recurrence and chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate if this kind of mesh has any advantage in long term results in comparison with the classic Lichtenstein technique with sutures and polypropylene mesh. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report a prospective and randomized study of patients who have been operated on for inguinal hernia between march of 2009 to march 2010, divided into 2 groups of 45 patients. In AutoAdhesive (AA) group, we included patients operated on with an autoadhesive mesh and in Classic Lichtenstein (CL) group we included cases with an inguinal hernioplasty with sutured polypropylene mesh. We evaluated time of inactivity, complications, recurrences and grade of pain after one year. RESULTS: The mean age was 60 years in AA group and 49 in LC group. There were more men than women and there were no differences in co-morbilities between groups. The mean size of hernia orifice was 3cm in both groups and 60% of the hernias were indirect. After one year, 77 patients were evaluated; 39 in LC group and 38 in AA group. 86,8% and 87,2% of them were asymptomatic. The mean time of recovery of daily activities was 15 days in both groups. There were neither recurrences nor severe chronic pain in the AA group. The mean of grade of pain was 0 (range:0-4) in AA group and 0 (range: 0-5) in LC group. In this group, there was one recurrence and one patient was taking analgesics for intense pain. No mortality nor other long term complications were found. CONCLUSION: The use of autoadhesive and parcial reabsorbible meshes in inguinal hernia repair has no effect on recovery of daily activities, postoperative pain and long term complications compared with hernioplasty with polypropylene mesh fixed with monofilament suture.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparar la técnica de Lichtenstein con la técnica de la malla cupular elíptica (MCE) en cuanto a dolor postoperatorio. Sede: Unidad Médica de Atención Ambulatoria número 55 del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. León, Gto. Diseño: Ensayo clínico controlado, aleatorizado, doble ciego. Análisis estadístico: Chi cuadrada, prueba Logrank-KaplanMeier, análisis de varianza de medidas repetidas con factor agrupante, análisis de riesgo de Cox. Material y métodos: Aleatorizamos 90 pacientes con hernia inguinal en dos grupos: MCE y Lichtenstein. Seguimiento a la semana, uno, tres y seis meses. Variables estudiadas: intensidad del dolor por escala visual análoga, frecuencia de dolor, consumo de analgésicos, tipo de disestesias, complicaciones y recidiva a seis meses. Resultados: Grupos comparables en características generales. Encontramos proporción menor de pacientes con dolor en grupo MCE (X2 = 7.28, p = 0.007). MCE mostró menor intensidad del dolor con (F = 22.37, p = 0.000003). No hubo diferencias en tiempo quirúrgico, consumo de analgésicos o frecuencia de disestesias a excepción de la primera semana. La técnica quirúrgica demostró ser determinante para dolor en análisis de riesgo (p = 0.009). Se presentó una recidiva en grupo MCE. Conclusiones: MCE es una técnica quirúrgica, igual de efectiva y segura que la técnica Lichtenstein y produce menor dolor postoperatorio.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el beneficio del uso de prótesis (malla de polipropileno) en la hernioplastia por la técnica de Lichtenstein, en el Hospital Clinicoquirúrgico Joaquín Albarrán. MÉTODOS. Se estudiaron de forma prospectiva (14 meses de por medio) 140 intervenciones quirúrgicas realizadas, mediante la técnica de Lichtenstein, a pacientes con hernia inguinal. Se excluyeron 110 por haber sido practicadas de forma ambulatoria. Se estudiaron los datos siguientes: tipo de hernia encontrada en el examen físico, edad, sexo, raza, ocupación laboral, fecha de la intervención, técnica utilizada y complicaciones durante el posoperatorio inmediato. Se consideró además la reproducción de la hernia luego de la operación, las complicaciones quirúrgicas y la tolerancia a la malla de polipropileno. RESULTADOS. Hubo un marcado predominio del sexo masculino y se constató una influencia directa entre las ocupaciones laborales que requieren esfuerzo físico elevado y la aparición de hernias inguinales (63,3 por ciento). Se registraron únicamente 3 complicaciones: un hematoma y dos seromas. No se documentaron recidivas. No se presentó ningún caso de infección, ni sistémica ni local. El uso de antibióticos profilácticos mostró una relación costo-beneficio adecuada. CONCLUSIONES. La edad avanzada, el sexo masculino y el esfuerzo físico mantenido tienen una relación directamente proporcional con la aparición de hernias inguinales. La factibilidad de la hernioplastia de Lichtenstein, la incidencia nula de recidivas herniarias y la escasa aparición de complicaciones, como el rechazo al material protésico, hablan de manera favorable sobre el uso de polipropileno en esta plastia. Recomendamos utilizar antibioticoterapia profiláctica perioperatoria para evitar la infección de la herida y por tanto asegurar el resultado de la intervención quirúrgica y su perduración(AU)


INTRODUCTION. The aim of present study was to assess the benefit using the prosthesis (polypropylene mesh) in the hernioplasty using the Lichtenstein's technique in the "Joaquín Albarrán" Clinical Surgical Hospital. METHODS. A prospective study (with an interval of 14 months) was conducted in 140 surgical interventions carried out using the Lichtenstein's technique in patients presenting with inguinal hernia. One hundred and ten patients were excluded due to interventions were of ambulatory method. The following data were studied: type of hernia found in the physical examination, age, sex, and race, type of job, intervention's date, and technique used as well as the complications during the immediate postoperative time. Also, the hernia's relapse after operation, surgical complications and tolerance to polypropylene mesh were taking into account. RESULTS. There was predominance of male sex confirming a direct influence among types of jobs requiring a strong physical effort and the appearance of inguinal hernias (63,3 percent). There were only three complications: a hematoma and two seromas. There were not relapses and any case of infection, both local and systemic. The use of prophylactic antibiotics showed an appropriate cost-benefit relationship. CONCLUSIONS. The old age, the male sex and a sustained physical effort have a directly proportional relation to appearance of inguinal hernias. The feasibility of Lichtenstein's hernioplasty, the null incidence of hernia relapses and no appearance of complications including the rejection to prosthetic material, favoured the use of polypropylene in this plasty. Authors recommended the use of perioperative prophylactic antibiotic therapy to avoid wound's infection and thus to secure the result of surgical intervention and its durability(AU)
