Abstract Aim Study of postoperative outcomes after Liechtenstein inguinal hernia repair using self-gripping mesh and polypropylene mesh with suture fixation. Material and Methods Medical records of 289 open inguinal hernia repairs were analyzed: 176 – with sutured polypropylene mesh and 113 – using self-gripping mesh. To assess the quality of life we have used EuraHS Qol and SF-36. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results There were no significant differences in wound complications (such as swelling, seroma, hematoma, orchitis) between these groups (p > 0,05). The duration of operation was significantly shorter with self-gripping mesh compared to sutured mesh (42,2 min. sd = 23,42 vs 58,5 min. sd = 16,70; p < 0.001). Pain on the first and 6th days after implantation self-gripping mesh was present significantly less frequently in comparison with sutured mesh (χ2 (1, N = 289) =7.925, p = 0.005 and χ2 (1, N = 289) =24.740, p < 0.001). NSAIDs intake time was less in self-gripping mesh group (3.01±1,07 vs 4.43±1,75 days; U = 11723, p < 0.001). We have found no significant differences in both groups for all quality-of-life indicators EuraHS (p = 0.234) and SF-36 (p = 0.190). Conclusions Self-gripping mesh has comparable outcomes with sutured polypropylene mesh regarding the frequency of wound complications and quality of life on long-term follow-up. However, self-gripping mesh is associated with reduced operation time, pain in the short-term postoperative period, and taking NSAIDs compared to sutured mesh.

Abstract Aim Evidence about factors influencing quality of life after inguinal hernia surgery is scarce. This study aimed to identify predictors of low Quality of Life (QoL) after open inguinal hernia repair, to guide practice and inform patients at high risk. Material and Methods Prospective multicentric cohort study including consecutive patients undergoing elective open inguinal hernia repair in Portuguese hospitals (October-December 2019). The primary outcome was Quality of Life at 3 months after surgery, using the EuraHS-QoL score (higher score correlates with lower QoL). Low QoL was defined as the higher EuraHS-QoL score tertile and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors. Results 893 patients were included from 33 hospitals. The majority were men (89.9% [800/891]), had unilateral hernias 88.7% (774/872) and the most common surgical technique was Lichtenstein’s repair (52.9% [472/893]). The median QoL score was 24 (IQR 10-40) before surgery and 2 (IQR 0-10) at 3 months after surgery, showing significant improvement (p < 0.001). After adjustment, low QoL at 3 months was associated with low preoperative QoL (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.21-2.57, p = 0.003), non-absorbable mesh fixation (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.12-2.41, p = 0.011), severe immediate postoperative pain (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.66-5.11, p < 0.001) and minor postoperative complications (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.30-3.84, p = 0.004). Conclusions This study supports the use of the EuraHS-QoL score preoperatively to inform consent. Although significant improvement in QoL is expected after surgery, high scores before surgery are associated with low postoperative QoL. Caution should be taken with non-absorbable mesh fixation and immediate postoperative pain control should be optimised.

Specialistai tebediskutuoja, kuris chirurginio gydymo būdas yra geriausias. Esant panašiems komplikacijų ir recidyvų skaičiams, svarbūs yra visi operacijos poveikio pacientui aspektai. Vienas jų yra gyvenimo kokybės pokyčiai. Metodai Perspektyvus daugiacentris atsitiktinių imčių klinikinis tyrimas, lyginantis Shouldice, Lichtensteino ir laparoskopines TAPP operacijas, atliktas 2003–2004 metais keturiose Lietuvos ligoninėse. Pagal standartizuotą metodiką operuoti 248 pacientai. Prieš operaciją užpildytas bendras visų pacientų gyvenimo kokybės klausimynas SF-36. Praėjus po operacijos 2 sav., 6 ir 12 mėn., pacientai buvo kviečiami kontrolinių patikrinimų, per kurios pildyta speciali paciento fizinės būklės vertinimo anketa ir pooperacinis klausimynas SF-36. Rezultatai Ankstyvu pooperaciniu laikotarpiu statistiškai reikšmingas skirtumas tarp laparoskopinių ir abiejų atvirųjų operacijų grupių rastas vertinant pagal fizinio funkcionalumo, veiklos apribojimo dėl fizinių problemų, kūno skausmo ir socialinio funkcionalumo skales. Statistiškai reikšmingai mažiau pacientų skundėsi skausmu operacijos vietoje po laparoskopinių operacijų, palyginti su atvirosiomis, p < 0,001. Po 6 mėn. rastas laparoskopinių operacijų ir atvirųjų skirtumas vertinant pagal įprastinės veiklos apribojimo dėl fizinių problemų skalę, p < 0,05. Statistiškai reikšmingas skirtumas buvo tarp laparoskopinių ir abiejų atvirųjų operacijų grupių lėtinio skausmo požiūriu, p < 0,01. Po operacijos praėjus 12 mėn., nė vienos SF-36 sveikatos vertinimo skalės statistiškai reikšmingo skirtumo nenustatyta. Jo nerasta ir vertinant lėtinį skausmą. Lyginant fizinę būklę, statistiškai reikšmingai skyrėsi laparoskopinių ir Shouldice operacijų grupės, p < 0,01. Išvados Laparoskopinės TAPP operacijos rezultatai gyvenimo kokybės ir lėtinio skausmo požiūriu tiek ankstyvu, tiek vėlyvu pooperaciniu laikotarpiu yra geriausi. Iš atvirųjų operacijų ankstyvu pooperaciniu laikotarpiu gyvenimo kokybės požiūriu geresni Lichtensteino operacijų grupės rezultatai negu Shouldice operacijų.

However, the best surgical approach to the repair of inguinal hernias is still unclear. Given their similarity in terms of complications and recurrence rate, other issues associated with these surgical techniques become more important. One of them is the quality of life. Methods The prospective randomized multicenter clinical study was performed in four surgical centers of Lithuania in 2003. 248 patients were operated on according to standardized protocols of Shouldice, Lichtenstein and laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repairs. Chronic pain and changes of the quality of life according to the SF-36 questionnaire and ad hoc questionnaire of physical status were compared. Results The significantly higher scores in the physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain and social functioning scales for laparoscopic hernia repair at 2 weeks postoperatively were apparent. The laparoscopic group had significantly less pain (p < 0.001). The significantly higher scores in the role-physical scale for laparoscopic to both open hernia repair methods at 6 months after operation were found (p < 0.05). The laparoscopic group had significantly less chronic pain 6 months postoperatively (p < 0.01). No significant difference in quality of life among three methods one year after operation was apparent. The laparoscopic group had less chronic pain one year after operation, but the difference was not significant Conclusions The laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair had the best scores of quality of life both in the early and the late postoperative periods. There was less chronic pain after laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair. The higher scores of quality of life were recorded after Lichtenstein versus Shouldice inguinal hernia repair in the early postoperative period.

Abstract: Inguinodynia is persistence of pain for more than 3 months after inguinal hernia operation. Chronic pain may be associated with hyperesthesia or hypoesthesia. This pain may be mild, moderate or severe. Inguinodynia may even effect quality of life. Pain may resolve on its own or after conservative treatment. Sometimes it persists and conservative methods fail then various other modalities of treatment are considered including re-exploration and neurectomy. We performed all 396 inguinal hernia repair by a modified Lichtenstein tension-free procedure. In our series of 396 cases inguinodynia happened only in 3 cases, a real low incidence. Some researchers have reported the incidence of inguinodynia as high as 19 percent 1 year after operation. No case required re-exploration, removal of mesh or neurectomy in our series. Keywords Chronic pain, Inguinal hernia, Inguinodynia, inguinal hernia repair
