Inguinal Hernia Surgery

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.

Background: In a remote district city of Bangladesh, inguinal hernias were repaired by Maloney (Darning) method.Efficacy of Darning repair was compared in this study.Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of doing Maloney ( Darn ) repair for adult inguinal hernias by specialist surgeons at remote districts . Age of the patients in ourstudy were above 20 years.Study Design: A descriptive retrospective study.Materials and Methods:In our study we included 2000 patient of inguinal hernia surgery repairs from May 2012 through June 2017. In the patients of the study group we repaired inguinal hernia by Maloney ( Darning) technique. Number of patients were 2000 ( male 1990 [99.5%] female 10 [.5%] with a mean age of 45.7 years. There were 1002(50.1%) hernias on the right side, 890(44.5%) were on the left side and 108(5.4%) were bilateral. Among the hernias 1419 ( 70.9%) were indirect, 575 (28.7%) were direct and 4 (0.2%) were of both direct and indirect (Pantoolon type), 2 (0.1%) were of femoral hernia. All were of primary hernias, recurrent hernias and hernias in patients with apparently weak musculature were repaired by Lychtenistein method with prolein mesh and were not included in this stpudy. 60 (3%) patients had feature of incarceration and 20 (1%) patients presented with obstruction. Among the obstructed hernias 8 (.4%) had strangulation and in 2 (.1%) resection and anastomosis were required for gangrenous ileum. In rest of the cases of strangulation circulation returned after incising the constricting ring and hot mob compression. We used IV antibiotic for 24 hours stated with induction of anaesthesia followed by oral for next 6 days. We used Injection Ceftrixone followed by Cefixime and in some patients Flucloxacillin.Statistics Analysis Used: Simple frequencies, proportion and cross tabulation.Results: Average duration of surgery was 70 minutes. There was no perioperative mortality. 90 (4.5%) patients developed mild subcutaneous wound infection, haematoma occurred in 160 ( 8% ) patients and seroma found in 300 ( 15% ) patients. All haematoma and seroma subsided gradually. Only 1 patient needed secondary closure for infected wound gap. The average duration of hospitalization was 3 days. All patients in study group are still in contact with me. Three patients (0.15%) had recurrences. All the recurrent cases reported within 6 months of their operations. Among the three age of 2 patients was above 60 and one patient of age above 70 had Maloney hernia repair for obstructed hernia.Conclusion:In remote places where prolene mesh is not available or is costly we can repair inguinal hernia by Maloney operation with very simple antibiotics with good results in comparison with other methods.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2018, Vol.10(1); 6-10

Abstract Purpose Groin hernia repair is the most frequently performed general surgical operation in the UK. Complications from laparoscopic and open repair are well recognised; however, potential differences are yet to be considered in relation to litigation. Methods Administrative data were obtained and analysed from the NHS Litigation Authority for inguinal hernia-related claims from 1995 to 2016. Claims identified as using an open or laparoscopic approach were compared. Results 880 claims were made, 760 had been settled. 88 laparoscopic and 241 open procedures were identified; 65% laparoscopic and 63% open hernia claims were found to be in favour of the claimant. Payouts totalled to 4.1GBP/4.8EUR/5.3USD million and 9.4GBP/11.0EUR/12.1USD million for laparoscopic (mean 82,824GBP/96,579EUR/106,453USD) and open (mean 66,796GBP/77,892EUR/85,852USD) approaches, respectively. The most common reasons for claim initiation were visceral/vascular injury (54%) in the laparoscopic group, and testicular complications or chronic pain (35%) in the open group. Additional procedures were necessary for 48% and 44% of laparoscopic and open claims, respectively. The highest average payouts were associated with visceral injury, (laparoscopic 116,482GBP/135,820EUR/149,715USD; open 199,103GBP/232,246EUR/255,905USD) and vascular injury (laparoscopic 88,624GBP/103,369EUR/113,892USD; open 64,460GBP/75,163EUR/82,870USD). Additional procedures resulted in an average payout of 93,352GBP/108,917EUR/120,008USD (laparoscopic) and 60,408GBP/70,506EUR/77,657USD (open). The most common additional procedures were corrective visceral/vascular repairs, orchidectomy and recurrent hernia repair. Conclusions The rate of litigation for clinical negligence in inguinal hernia surgery in the UK is increasing. Whilst there has been a recent increase in laparoscopic hernia repair claims, the volume and burden of claims related to open procedures remain greater.

Abstract Background Inguinal hernia surgery is a frequent procedure among general surgeons in Costa Rica, but the management and technique are not uniform. The International Guideline for Groin Hernia management was published in 2018 to standardize the inguinal hernia surgery, but the diffusion of the guidelines and its adherence have been extremely varied. Purpose Collect and analyze the current reality regarding groin hernia management in Costa Rica. Secondly evaluate the diffusion and development comparing it to the guideline’s recommendations. Method Questionnaire of 42 single and multiple answer questions according to the topics of the International Guideline directed to general surgeons. Diffusion of the inquiry through surgical and hernia association chats and email. Timeframe June–December 2019. Results 64 surveys were collected, which is a representative number of the general surgeons national college. The most frequent procedure between these was the abdominal wall surgery. Every surgeon did more than 52 groin hernia surgeries in one year, most of them outpatients. The epidural anesthesia was used the most and Lichtenstein’s technique was the most frequently used (64%). 68% of the surgeons know how to perform a minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery but with variable volumes. 38% of participants considered themselves experts in groin hernia management and 52% did not know the 2018 International Guideline. The recommendations of such guideline are followed only partially. Conclusions The 2018 Hernia Surge International Guidelines have low diffusion among Costa Rican surgeons. The laparoscopic approach is widely accepted but there are no studies to assess the results and the quality. There should be protocols and studies adapted to Costa Rica’s national situation.

Lower Abdominal Wall

Background: The inguinal area is the weakest region of the abdominal wall. So, this is the most common site for the development of hernias. Inguinal hernias are the commonest amongst all the hernias and hernia repair is the most frequently done operation worldwide. There is no agreement among surgeons regarding the need for drains. Some use sparingly and some use it routinely. This study aims to evaluate the use of negative suction drain in inguinal hernia surgery.Methods: We studied sixty patients of inguinal hernias both direct and indirect for one year and followed up for next 1-2 years. This prospective study aimed to see the effect of negative suction drainage in hernia surgery.Results: Both the groups did well postoperatively. It was beneficial to put a negative suction drain in those patients who had a bigger hernia, fatty patients with the thick fatty lower abdominal wall and older patients.Conclusion: It is advisable to put a negative suction drain in inguinal hernia surgery and strongly advocated if the dissection had been difficult, old patients and fatty lower abdominal wall

Lichtenstein Hernia Repair

The Lichtenstein hernia repair is associated with low recurrence rates and short operation times, and can be performed under local anesthesia. Thus, this is among the most-preferred methods used in recent years. Our objective was to explore the same-day discharge rates, and the causes of delayed discharge and re-admission to hospital, of patients treated using the Lichtenstein repair method, to evaluate the feasibility of performing same-day hernia surgery in clinical practice. One hundred of a total of 236 patients diagnosed with unilateral inguinal or femoral hernias, who required surgical treatment, and who agreed with the conditions of the study, were prospectively included. All patients were treated using the Lichtenstein mesh repair method, under local anesthesia between June 2006 and January 2008. We investigated the types and locations of hernias, duration of surgery, seniority of the surgeon, the feasibility of same-day surgery in subgroups stratified by ASA risk scores, and postoperative complication rates, in patients who underwent inguinal surgery under local anesthesia. The rates of pain and postoperative complications were very low in hernia patients who underwent same-day surgery under local anesthesia. The operation reduces the length of hospital stay and helps patients mobilize earlier. Both the literature, and our data, indicate that inguinal hernia repair under local anesthesia is safe and effective, reducing anesthesia-related complications and the length of hospital stay; is cost-effective; and is applicable in all patients.

Background: Mesh hernioplasty in patients undergoing emergency inguinal hernia repair is considered practically, irrespective of complications. The main aim of this study was to assess the morbidity of Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty in treating obstructed inguinal hernias. Primary outcome measures were post-operative wound site infection, seroma formation, length of hospital stay, hanging testis, testicular infarct, inguinodynia and recurrence.Methods: This study was undertaken in the department of General Surgery, SMIMER, Surat, Gujarat, India from August 2016 to July 2019. Fifteen patients were operated and included in the study. All patients underwent standard Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty for obstracted inguinal hernia repair in emergency operating room.Results: 5 patients (33%) developed wound site infection, 4 patients (27%) developed inguinodynia, 2 patient (13%) developed seroma formation, 1 patient (6%) developed hanging testis. 1 patient (6%) developed testicular infarct. Average postoperative hospital stay was 5.6 days (range =2-18 days).Conclusions: Mesh repairs can be safely performed in emergency inguinal hernia repair with acceptable morbidity.

Multiple researchers have given numerous guidelines in the clinical management of this disorder in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, after comprehensive works on the subject. As a result, a very wide variety of surgical procedures are now available to the surgeon to suit the requirement. There have been numerous advances in the management of inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernias can conveniently be repaired under all kinds of anaesthesia, namely general, spinal and local. Whereas the general anaesthesia requires the services of an experienced anaesthetist and new devices and spinal anaesthesia requires postoperative impairment while local anaesthesia is safe to prescribe, easy and efficient and does not cause postoperative complications. This work consisted of a study group of twenty-five adult patients of uncomplicated inguinal hernias, who after repair of hernias, which after repair of hernias were allowed early ambulation and had a short hospital, stay of one day post operatively. The second control group consisted of similar twenty-five patients who are subjected to conventional delayed ambulation and prolonged hospital stay. The results of repair in the two groups were compared; the available literature on the subject was reviewed. The implementation of ”shortstay surgery” not only relieves the waiting list in hospitals but also offers an economic boost and provides the patient with some social advantages.

AbstractThe laparoscopic approach is considered as standard practice in patients with body-tail pancreatic neoplasms. However, only a few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and propensity score matching (PSM) studies have been performed. Thus, additional studies are needed to obtain more robust evidence. This is a single-centre propensity score-matched study including patients who underwent laparoscopic (LDP) and open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) with splenectomy for pancreatic neoplasms. Demographic, intra, postoperative and oncological data were collected. The primary endpoint was the length of hospital stay. The secondary endpoints included the assessment of the operative findings, postoperative outcomes, oncological outcomes (only in the subset of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-PDAC) and total costs. In total, 205 patients were analysed: 105 (51.2%) undergoing an open approach and 100 (48.8%) a laparoscopic approach. After PSM, two well-balanced groups of 75 patients were analysed and showed a shorter length of hospital stay (P = 0.001), a lower blood loss (P = 0.032), a reduced rate of postoperative morbidity (P < 0.001) and decreased total costs (P = 0.050) after LDP with respect to ODP. Regarding the subset of patients with PDAC, 22 patients were analysed: they showed a significant shorter length of hospital stay (P = 0.050) and a reduction in postoperative morbidity (P < 0.001) after LDP with respect to ODP. Oncological outcomes were similar. LDP showed lower hospital stay and postoperative morbidity rate than ODP both in the entire population and in patients affected by PDAC. Total costs were reduced only in the entire population. Oncological outcomes were comparable in PDAC patients.
