Flap Closure

Background: During lower abdominal marginal hernia repair, the peritoneal flap is routinely freed to facilitate mesh placement and closed to conclude the procedure. This procedure is generally called trans-abdominal partial extra-peritoneal (TAPE). However, the necessity of closing the free peritoneal flap is still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of leaving the free peritoneal flap in-situ.Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 68 patients (16 male, 52 female) who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair between June 2014 and March 2021. Patients were diagnosed as the lower abdominal hernia and all required freeing the peritoneal flap during the operation. Patients were divided into 2 groups: one group was TAPE group with the closed free peritoneal flap, another group left the free peritoneal flap unclosed. Analyses were performed to compare both intraoperative parameters and postoperative complications.Results: There were no significant differences in demographic, comorbidity, hernia characteristics and ASA classification. The intra-operative bleeding volume, visceral injury, hospital stay, urinary retention, visual analog scale (VAS) score, dysuria, intestinal obstruction, surgical site infection, mesh infection, recurrence rate and hospital stay were similar among the two groups. Mean operative time of the flap closing procedure was higher than for patients with the free peritoneal flap left in-situ (p = 0.002). Comparisons of postoperative complications showed flap closure resulted in a higher incidence of seroma formation (p = 0.005).Conclusion: Providing a barrier-coated mesh is used during laparoscopic lower abdominal marginal hernia repair, it is safe to leave the free peritoneal flap in-situ and this approach may prevent the occurrence of seromas.

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.

Mesh Hernioplasty

Background: Inguinal mesh hernioplasty is one of the common procedures performed all over the world. It can be done either through open or laparoscopic techniques. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty versus laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) mesh repair considering, duration of the surgery, hospital stay, and duration to resume normal activity, degree of postoperative pain, wound infection, recurrence and complications.Methods: Adult patients presented to the general surgical OPD, with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia underwent either Lichtenstein repair or laparoscopic repair by TAPP.Results: Patients in Group A (open-repair) had significantly greater level of local pain during rest and during routine activities than those within Group B (laparoscopic group) during the postoperative period assessed on the visual-analogue scale. Mean operative time for open hernia repair was 43.7 minutes and for laparoscopic hernia repair was 59.03 minutes and the difference were statistically significant (p=0.0001). The mean duration of hospital stay for open hernia repair was 2.16 days and that for laparoscopic hernia repair was 1.08 days with a (p=0.00001) which was statistically significant. The time to resume routine activities was much shorter among Group B patients than patients in Group A. Only one recurrence (3.3%) was seen in Group B after 6 months follow up.Conclusions: It is concluded that laparoscopic TAPP repair of inguinal hernia in adults is safe and preferred operation as compared to open inguinal hernia repair.
