RESUMO

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic surgery is still at its budding phase in low resource countries. The reasons for this include poor financing of the health sector and lack of trained personnel. The aim of this article is to highlight our initial experiences, our challenges in setting up laparoscopic surgery in a private tertiary hospital in rural southwestern Nigeria, and to share our efforts towards alleviating these challenges. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective analysis of all patient who had laparoscopic surgery between January 2019 and December 2020 at the Surgery Department of Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan, Ogun State was carried out. Their sociodemographic, preoperative and intraoperative data along with postoperative records were subjected to descriptive analysis. RESULTS: During the period, 19 patients had laparoscopic procedures: 12(63.2%) males and 7 (36.8%) females with age ranging from 4 to 63years. The most common indication for laparoscopic surgery was appendicitis, representing 84.2% of the procedures. Most of the procedures were done on emergency basis (63.1%) while 36.9% were elective procedures. All the procedures were therapeutic though in 21.1% we started with diagnostic intent but intra-operatively we proceed to therapeutic procedure following confirmation of the diagnosis. The duration of the procedures ranged from 40 minutes to 107 minutes with a mean duration of 74.8±19 minutes. No intra or post operative complications were recorded in this cohort of patients. The mean duration of hospital stay was 2 days. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible in low resource setting. We recommend that centers embarking on laparoscopic surgeries should start with diagnostic procedures and gradually incorporate therapeutic procedures as they improve in proficiency.


INTRODUCTION/CONTEXTE: La chirurgie laparoscopique en est encore à sa phase naissante dans les pays à faibles ressources. Les raisons en sont le faible financement du secteur de la santé et le manque de personnel qualifié. Le but de cet article est de mettre en lumière nos premières expériences, nos défis dans la mise en place de la chirurgie laparoscopique réalisée dans un hôpital tertiaire privé rural du sud-ouest du Nigeria, et de partager nos efforts pour atténuer ces défis. MÉTHODOLOGIE: Une analyse rétrospective de tous les patients ayant subi une chirurgie laparoscopique entre janvier 2019 et décembre 2020 au service de chirurgie de l'hôpital universitaire de Babcock, à Ilisan, dans l'État d'Ogun, a été réalisée. Leurs données sociodémographiques, préopératoires et peropératoires ainsi que les dossiers postopératoires ont fait l'objet d'une analyse descriptive. RÉSULTATS: Au cours de la période, 19 patients ont subi des interventions laparoscopiques : 12 hommes (63,2 %) et 7 femmes (36,8 %) âgés de 4 ans à 63 ans. L'indication la plus fréquente de la chirurgie laparoscopique était l'appendicite, représentant 84,2 % des interventions. La plupart des procédures ont été effectuées en urgence (63,1 %) tandis que 36,9 % étaient des procédures électives. La plupart des procédures étaient thérapeutiques (78,9 %) tandis que les autres (21,1 %) étaient à la fois diagnostiques et thérapeutiques. Pour ce groupe de patients, nous avons commencé par une laparoscopie diagnostique et, en peropératoire, une procédure thérapeutique a été effectuée après confirmation du diagnostic. La durée des procédures variait de 40 minutes à 107 minutes avec une durée moyenne de 74,8 ± 19 minutes. Aucune complication per ou post opératoire n'a été enregistrée dans cette cohorte de patients. La durée moyenne d'hospitalisation était de 2 jours. CONCLUSION: La chirurgie laparoscopique est sûre et faisable dans les milieux à faibles ressources. Nous recommandons que les centres qui se lancent dans des chirurgies laparoscopiques commencent par des procédures de diagnostic et intègrent progressivement des procédures thérapeutiques au fur et à mesure de leur amélioration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The role of prophylactic antibiotics in mesh repair of inguinal hernia is controversial and often based on institutional policies. Surgical site infection rate from earlier studies in Nigeria justifies the continued use of prophylactic antibiotics during hernia repair. With increased use of antibiotics comes the challenge of antibiotic resistance and toxicity. The use of antimicrobial coated suture may help avoid these challenges but its efficacy needs to be tested. OBJECTIVE: To compare Triclosan coated suture with intravenous antibiotics for the repair of inguinal hernia with mesh. METHODS: Patients with uncomplicated inguinal hernia undergoing mesh repair were randomized to either have intravenous antibiotics administered for prophylaxis or to have wound closure with Triclosan coated Vicryl 2/0 suture. Post operatively, wound infection rates were compared between the two groups. Follow up was for 1 year. RESULTS: We studied 49 patients with 59 hernias with a mean age of 53 years. Hernias were solitary in 75% of cases, the majority of which were right sided, while 25% were bilateral. There were 25 patients with 32 hernias in the Intravenous antibiotic group (Group A) and 24 patients with 27 hernias in the Triclosan suture group (Group B). Wound grades were similar between the two groups with one patient in the Triclosan group confirmed to have wound infection (4.2%) and none in the Intravenous antibiotics group (p=0.27). Wound infection was of the superficial type which resolved with wound care within 1 month. CONCLUSION: Triclosan coated suture may be safely used as an alternative to intravenous antibiotics for the mesh repair of inguinal hernia. Further studies are required to validate this finding.


RÉSUMÉ: Le rôle des antibiotiques prophylactiques dans la réparation par maille de la hernie inguinale est controversé et souvent basé sur les politiques institutionnelles. Le taux d'infection du site opératoire d'études antérieures au Nigeria justifie l'utilisation continue d'antibiotiques prophylactiques pendant la réparation d'une hernie. L'utilisation accrue des antibiotiques pose le défi de la résistance et de la toxicité aux antibiotiques. L'utilisation d'une suture enduite d'un antimicrobien peut aider à éviter ces défis, mais son efficacité doit être testée. OBJECTIF: Comparer la suture enduite de triclosan avec des antibiotiques intraveineux pour la réparation de la hernie inguinale avec un filet. MÉTHODES: Les patients présentant une hernie inguinale non compliquée subissant une réparation par filet ont été randomisés pour recevoir soit des antibiotiques par voie intraveineuse à titre prophylactique, soit une fermeture de la plaie avec une suture Vicryl 2/0 revêtue de triclosan. Après l'opération, les taux d'infection des plaies ont été comparés entre les deux groupes. Le suivi a duré 1 an. RÉSULTATS: Nous avons étudié 49 patients avec 59 hernies avec un âge moyen de 53 ans. Les hernies étaient solitaires dans 75 % des cas, majoritairement du côté droit, tandis que 25 % étaient bilatérales. Il y avait 25 patients avec 32 hernies dans le groupe antibiotique intraveineux (groupe A) et 24 patients avec 27 hernies dans le groupe suture au triclosan (groupe B). Les grades des plaies étaient similaires entre les deux groupes avec un patient dans le groupe Triclosan confirmé pour avoir une infection de la plaie (4,2%) et aucun dans le groupe antibiotiques intraveineux (p=0,27). L'infection de la plaie était de type superficiel qui s'est résolue avec le soin de la plaie en 1 mois. CONCLUSION: La suture enduite de triclosan peut être utilisée en toute sécurité comme alternative aux antibiotiques intraveineux pour la réparation par maille de la hernie inguinale. D'autres études sont nécessaires pour valider ce résultat. MOTS CLÉS: Hernie au triclosan, infection.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Altered composition of collagen and elastin in abdominal fascia has been linked with the pathogenesis of hernias. This has not been studied amongst Africans who have hernia presentations which vary significantly from Caucasian cohorts. The aim of this study was to determine, and compare, the collagen and elastin contents of the transversalis fascia and rectus sheath of inguinal hernia patients with non-hernia controls. METHODS: Twenty-five patients with solitary, primary, uncomplicated inguinal hernia and twenty-five non-hernia controls were evaluated. Biopsies of the transversalis fascia and anterior rectus sheath were stained with Masson Trichrome and Verhöeff van-Gieson to isolate collagen and elastin respectively, which were quantified using the ImageJ/Fiji® image analysis software. RESULTS: Inguinal hernia patients were aged 19-85 years with a mean age of 45.2 years, mean body mass index (BMI) of 23.3 kg/m2 and mean duration of hernia of 42.5 months. Lateral hernias with no hernia defect or posterior wall defect [PL0] were the predominant clinical type. There were significantly lower collagen and higher elastin content in the transversalis fascia and rectus sheath of inguinal hernia patients [P < 0.001]. Regression analysis identified smoking and long duration of hernias as independent predictors of low collagen levels in this study CONCLUSION: Inguinal hernia patients in the study population demonstrated depleted collagen in the connective tissue of the inguinal canal. This might justify the routine use of prosthetic mesh for the reinforcement of the posterior wall during hernia repair.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The use of mesh has revolutionized the management of hernias in many parts of the world. There is, however, limited experience on its use in sub-Saharan Africa. This study describes a single hospital experience after 500 cases of mesh hernia repairs in a sub-Saharan African country. METHODS: We reviewed the records of the first 500 cases of abdominal wall hernia operations performed using commercial mesh since year 2007. Socio-demographic characteristics, hernia type, method of repair and outcome data were analyzed and presented as descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The first 500 cases of mesh hernia repairs were performed between 2007 and 2017 during which a total of 1,175 hernia operations were carried out, mesh repair accounting for 42.5% of the total. There was a progressive rise in the uptake of mesh repairs over time, with mesh repairs overtaking tissue based repairs in the last few years of the review. Inguinal hernia was by far the commonest indication for mesh use (80.4%), followed by incisional hernia (9%). Polypropylene mesh was the most common type of mesh used in about 96.2% of cases. Overall, there were seven recurrences (1.4%) at a mean follow-up period of 15.3 months (1-108 months) CONCLUSION: In spite of resource limitations, the use of mesh for hernia repairs continues to rise and has overtaken tissue-based repairs in a sub-Saharan African setting. Results show good outcomes justifying continued use.
