Purpose – to analyze condition of patients after surgical treatment of inguinal hernias by laparoscopic and open methods. Materials and methods. A retrospective review of medical histories and outpatient charts of all patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery at the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1 from January 2018 to July 2020 was conducted. Results. During the above period of time in our hospital open hernioplasty was performed in 86 patients, laparoscopic hernioplasty – 138 patients. With open hernioplasty, the average duration of surgical treatment was 40±12 minutes. The laparoscopic technique was 35±12 minutes. The length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the group of patients with the open method (48±12 hours) than in the group of laparoscopic plastic surgery (12±3 hours). From the group of patients who underwent open hernioplasty, 62 patients complained of long-term pain syndrome, from the group of laparoscopy – 12 patients. The cosmetic appearance was dissatisfied with 34 patients in the open access group and only 2 patients in the laparoscopic plastic group. Postoperative complications were observed in 34 patients who underwent surgical treatment through open access, and in 15 patients – by laparoscopy. Conclusions. The laparoscopic approach of inguinal hernia surgery is superior to open access, as it reduces the length of hospital stay, postoperative recovery, improves the aesthetic effect of the operation, reduces the frequency of infection of incisions. According to the results of the study, this technique gives a better result in the early postoperative period, a lower percentage of chronic pain and a higher degree of patient satisfaction compared to open access with the same low recurrence rate. Therefore, in our opinion, laparoscopic access to hernioplasty is the optimal method of treatment and can be recommended as a method of choosing inguinal hernia surgery. Postoperative assessment of the quality of life of patients after treatment of inguinal hernia by laparoscopic and open methods. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committee of all participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: inguinal hernia, laparoscopy, open access surgery, analysis of methods, operation.

Abstract Aim Repair of inguinal hernia is one of the most common operations in general surgery in industrialized countries. Isolated spermatic cord liposarcoma is a very rare soft tissue tumor. Despite standardized diagnostic algorithms for inguinal hernia, it could be difficult to predict such a rare finding. Material and Methods We report a case of inadvertent inguinal liposarcoma excision during hernia surgery in a 72-year-old male patient. Except for polyposis coli there were no further illnesses. Results After a minimal invasive transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of a symptomatic inguinal hernia last year a persistent scrotal swelling developed. Computed tomography (CT) showed a protrusion of fatty tissue into the scrotal sac. Diagnosis of scrotal hernia was made. We performed an open Lichtenstein procedure. The final pathologic examination revealed a highly differentiated liposarcoma. Staging was completed and the case was presented to a multidisciplinary sarcoma tumor board at our institution. As recommended, a inguinal reoperation was performed with wide excision. Conclusions Although a very rare condition, spermatic cord liposarcoma should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis for inguinal hernia surgery.

Abstract Aim To report feasibility and surgical outcomes of recurrent inguinal hernia repair after TransInguinal PrePeritoneal (TIPP) repair. Material and Methods Patients who underwent recurrent IHR after TIPP between January 2013 and January 2015 in a single hernia-dedicated teaching hospital were included. Exclusion criteria were femoral hernia, incarcerated hernia and reasons for unreliable follow-up. Electronic medical records were assessed retrospectively to register surgical outcomes and complications. Results Thirty-three patients underwent surgical repair of recurrent inguinal hernia after TIPP. Twenty patients were treated with a “re-TIPP when possible” strategy; resulting in 13 successful re-tipps and 7 conversions to Lichtenstein repair. Eleven patients underwent primarily a Lichtenstein’s repair, the remaining two patients underwent recurrent IHR using other techniques (transrectus sheath Pre-Peritoneal and transabdominal preperitoneal repair). Mean time of surgery was 44.7 minutes (standard deviation 16.7). There was one patient (3.0%) with a re-recurrent inguinal hernia during follow-up. Other minor complications included urinary tract infection. There were no significant differences in post-operative results between the different surgical techniques used for recurrent IHR. Conclusions These results indicate that after TIPP it is feasible and safe to perform re-surgery for recurrence with an anterior approach again. For these recurrences, a Lichtenstein can be performed, or a ‘re-TIPP if possible’ strategy can be applied by experienced TIPP surgeons. Whether a re-TIPP has the same advantages over Lichtenstein as is for primary inguinal hernia surgery, needs to be evaluated in a prospective manner.
