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.

Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the commonest surgical diseases and there are many different techniques applied. The laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair allows a better view of the inguinal anatomy, evaluation of opposite side and resolve combined peritoneal diseases as well. Patient and method: The study included 60 cases with inguinal hernia that have been treated by laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair. Method: Description, prospective follow-up. Result: The mean age was 58±18.2. 96.7% were males. The average operative time was 45.6±15.1 minutes for one side hernia, 73±25.2 minutes for bilateral hernia. 02 cases have been post-operation inguinal seroma complication (3.3%), 02 cases with hydrocele (3.3%), 01 case with abdominal seroma (1.7%). 04 cases (6.7%) opposite inguinal hernia were detected and 05 cases (8.3%) with combined diseases were resolved. Duration of post-operative stay was 3.9±1.1 days. Conclusion: TAPP is a safe and feasible procedure, allows evaluation of opposite side and resolve combined peritoneal diseases.

Abstract Porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) biologic patch has been used in inguinal hernia repair. However, there are little data available to assess the long-term effect after repair. This study aimed to explore the long-term effect of SIS patch in open inguinal hernia repair. Sevent-six patients with unilateral inguinal hernia were treated with Lichtenstein tension-free hernia repair using SIS patch (Beijing Datsing Bio-Tech Co., Ltd.) and Surgisis patch (COOK, USA) in Tianjin Union Medical Center and China-Japan Friendship Hospital. In the trial, the long-term efficacy of the treatment group and the control group were compared. A total of 66 patients in both groups received long-term follow-up (> 5 years) after surgery, with a follow-up rate of 86.8%. During the follow-up period, there was one case of recurrence, one case of chronic pain in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) in terms of recurrence, chronic pain, foreign body sensation and infection between the two groups of patients. After long-term observations, it has been found that the porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) biological patch is safe and effective for inguinal hernia Lichtenstein repair, and has a low recurrence rate and complication rate.

To review our experience and outcomes after inguinal hernia repair using the lightweight self-adhering sutureless mesh “Adhesix™” and demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this mesh. This is a 3-year retrospective study that included 143 consecutive patients who underwent 149 inguinal hernia repairs at our department of surgery. All hernias were repaired using a modified Lichtenstein technique. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data were prospectively collected. Incidence of chronic pain, postoperative complications, recurrence, and patient satisfaction were assessed three years postoperatively by conducting a telephone survey. We had 143 patients with a mean age of 58 years (17–84), who underwent 149 hernia repairs using the Adhesix™ mesh. Ninety-two per cent (131 patients) were males. Only 10 patients (7%) had a postoperative pain for more than three years. In our series, neither age nor gender was predictive of postoperative pain. Only one patient had a hematoma lasting for more than one month and only four patients (2.8%) had a recurrence of their hernia within three years of their initial surgery. Ninety per cent of the patient expressed their satisfaction when surveyed three years after their surgery. In conclusion, the use of the self-adhering sutureless mesh for inguinal hernia repair has been proving itself as effective as the traditional mesh. Adhesix™ is associated with low chronic pain rate, recurrence rate, and postoperative complications rate, and can be safely adopted as the sole technique for inguinal hernia repair.

CONTEXT: Bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum in newborns can arise from a number of diseases, including torsion of the testes, orchitis, scrotal or testicular edema, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, meconium peritonitis, hematocele, testicular tumor and traumatic hematoma. Forty-two cases of scrotal abnormalities as signs of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage were found in the literature. CASE REPORT: We present a case of scrotal hematoma due to adrenal hemorrhage in a newborn. Conservative treatment with clinical follow-up was adopted, with complete resolution within 10 days. The possible differential diagnoses are reviewed and discussed.

The incidence of tuberculosis is increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries. The prevalence of abdominal tuberculosis has been found to be as high as 12% in people with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Peritoneal thickening and intestinal adhesions can occur in patients with abdominal tuberculosis. Inguinal hernias are extremely rare in people with abdominal tuberculosis; only 11 cases have been reported in the English-language literature, half of which involved pediatric patients. No definitive guideline on the management of such cases is available. In this report, we describe the unusual finding of an incarcerated inguinal hernia in an adult with abdominal tuberculosis and propose a therapy to treat this complicated disease based on our successful experience.
