Repair Techniques

Background: Treatment of groin hernias continues to evolve. The emergence of laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery has challenged the conventional gold standard Lichtenstein’s tension free mesh repair. Laparoscopic technique to achieve surgical correction over groin hernia is increasingly being practiced in our country, and it is imperative to test the overall outcome of this technique in a tertiary care setting. Objectives: Current study was aimed at evaluating the per-operative events, early and late outcomes of laparoscopic groin hernia repair techniques. End points of evaluation were postoperative pain, hospital stay, resumption of normal activities, chronic pain and recurrence. Methods: Within a 2-year period, 45 patients of groin hernias of different clinical types underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in Bangladesh Medical College Hospital were recruited in this prospective observational study. Preoperative findings, intraoperative course, postoperative and follow-up data were analyzed to evaluate the outcomes. Observations were made regarding operating time, operative hazards, postoperative pain, incidence of early post-operative morbidities, hospital stay, resumption of activities. Total 24 months follow-up was carried out with regards to normal activity, late complications notably chronic groin pain and recurrence. Results: The mean age of 38.1±11.1 years, 27(60%) patients underwent TEP repair whereas, TAPP procedure was carried out in 18 patients (40%). For unilateral hernia repair using TEP technique, mean operative time was 50.3±4.2 mints and 61.7±5.3 mints for direct and indirect variety (D/I), with the corresponding rates for TAPP repair being 65.0±2.2 mints and 72.8±3.2 mints (D/I) respectively. Conversion rate to other operative procedure was 6.67%. The overall surgery related early post-operative morbidity was 7.4% (TEP) and 16.8% (TAPP). 3 out of 45 patients (6.67%) experienced chronic pain in the groin in the study. However, there was no single incidence of recurrence observed during the follow up period. Conclusion: Laparoscopic groin hernia repair techniques are safe and feasible, offers the benefits of minimally invasive surgery and becoming the procedure of choice specially for bilateral and recurrent inguinal hernias.

Aims and Objectives: To know the most common surgical problems in pediatric patients presented with inguino-scrotal swellings and management done routinely. Methodology: This study was carried out in the department of general surgery, Sharadaben hospital and pediatric surgery of VS hospital, Ahmedabad. The cases were studied for a period of about one year (January, 2017 to Dec, 2017) and all children below 12 years of age, presenting to us with inguinoscrotal swellings were included in this study. The information was analysed in terms of age, diagnosis, procedure carried out and outcome. Results: Amongst the 150 children under the age of 12 years, 143 patients were males and 7 were females. Among these 150, 52 cases were of hydrocoele, 70 cases of hernia (of which 63 were males and 7 were females), 25 cases of undescended testis and 3 cases of epididymo orchitis were documented. All cases underwent simple herniotomy for hernia and hydrocoele, orchidopexy for undescended testis. The length of hospital stay ranged from 2-4 days with mean of 2.46 days. 11 children in the study were documented to have short term complications, all of which were recognised in the hospital and managed with good results. Conclusion: Hernia and Hydrocoele in children are often congenital and diagnosed clinically (history and examination). Indirect inguinal hernia are more common than other groin hernias. Open herniotomy is the operation of choice for inguinal hernia in children.

Groin Hernias

Background: Groin hernia is a very common type abdominal wall hernia encountered in surgical practice. Irreducibility, obstruction and strangulation are its commonest complications which usually presents as acute emergencies. Emergency repair of complicated hernias is associated with poor prognosis and a high rate of post-operative complications even with better care, improved anaesthetic management and advanced surgical techniques. The aim of this study was to determine the various modes of presentation, clinical finding, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and to evaluate the postoperative outcome in complicated groin hernia surgeries in our set up.Methods: The study was carried out among 40 patients of groin hernia, who had complicated clinical presentation like irreducibility, strangulation and obstruction in the department of general surgery, during the period from March 2012 to June 2014. Patients were enrolled into the study after proper consent for detailed clinical examination, investigation and subsequent treatment. The Data obtained included demographic characteristics, presentation, operative findings and outcome. The patients were followed up for immediate and late complications for once a week for 1 months, once every month for the next 6 months. After data collection, analysis was done with help of by SPSS software version 21.Results: A total of 40 groin hernia patients with complicated presentation were evaluated during the study period. Among these cases 38 cases had inguinal hernias and two cases had femoral hernia. Majority of the patients were in 5th and 6th decade. Complicated presentation of groin hernia was commonly seen in males (95%) than in females (5%) with male to female ratio of 19:1. Inguinal hernia complications were seen predominantly in males and femoral hernia complications in females. Right sided hernias were more common. Incarceration was the commonest complication seen in 70% of case followed by strangulation (30%). Incarceration was high (17.5%) in the age group of 64-73 years and 44 - 53 years. Strangulation was high in the age group of 54-63 years. The duration of hernia varied for 1-2 years in 42.5% of cases and 3-6 years in 27.5% of cases. Majority of the patients (30%) presented with localized groin pain, vomiting, constipation and abdominal distension. All patients presented with swelling in the inguinoscrotal region, which was tender, and there was no impulse on coughing and 35% of patients had cardiorespiratory illness. Majority of the cases (34 numbers) were operated as emergency procedure. Viable bowel was seen in 77.5% of cases. Bowel resection and end-to-end anastomosis was done in all cases of non-viable bowel and orchidectomy in atrophied and gangrenous testis. The commonest postoperative complication encountered in the study was wound infection (22.5%) and scrotal seroma (17.50%). There was no evidence of recurrence in any of the operated cases.Conclusions: Complicated presentations of groin hernias like, incarceration and strangulation are seen in low and middle socio-economic category of people and may be associated with chronic illness. The cumulative risk of strangulation increases with time and type of hernias. Timely diagnosis and prompted surgical repair is essential to prevent the complications.
