Background: Laparoscopic surgery is dominating in the field of hernia. The search for the ideal prosthetic biomaterial has been a longstanding issue with debate over simple versus composite biomaterial and lightweight versus heavyweight meshes. This study was done to evaluate the early outcome of lightweight mesh in laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair.Methods: This prospective observational study was done for a period of 16 months. On the basis of selection criteria patient underwent laparoscopic TEP repair using light weight mesh, early outcomes were evaluated in terms of immediate postoperative pain (analysed via visual analog scale) and chronic groin pain (analysed by visual analogue scale and graded according to Cunningham), patients were also evaluated for operation time, intraoperative bleeding, seroma, stiffness or numbness around groin, or any other complications.Results: There was no intraoperative bleeding among any of the patients. Immediate post-operative pain assessed by visual analogue scale 20% scored one in the visual analogue scale in post-operative day 1. None of the patients were having any complications (like stiffness or numbness in groin or thigh and any other complication) during post-surgery follow up. Only one patient reported mild chronic groin pain at the end of 3 months after surgery.Conclusions: The short term results of laparoscopic TEP repair for inguinal hernia using light weight mesh are quite encouraging. We can conclude that light weigh mesh is fulfilling important role in successful hernia repair as it is associated with very less morbidity.

Objectives: To share our experience with laparoscopic surgery using TAPP technique, for groin hernias using light weight parietene mesh, to find out early post operative pain and foreign body sensation as complications. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Department of Surgery Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar. Period: January 2018 till August 2018. Material & Methods: A sample of 100 patients was recruited into study. All patients underwent standard transabdominal preperitonial repair with light weight Mesh. Data was collected by predesigned Performa and analyzed with SPSS 21. Results: Out of 100 patients 98% were male, 2% female, mean age was 43.2± 5.3years (minimum 17years and maximum 64years). Regarding frequency of type of hernia data showed 68% patients had indirect inguinal hernia while 32% patients had direct inguinal hernia. 65% patients had right sided inguinal hernia, 26% left sided while 9% had bilateral inguinal hernia. Post operative hospital stay showed hematoma in 5% patients, seroma in 12% patients, wound infection in 8% of patients while foreign body sensation in 4% patients. Conclusion: Most of the patients presented were of middle age. Indirect inguinal hernia was more frequent than direct inguinal hernia. Common complications apart from pain were seroma formation, hematoma, wound infection and foreign body sensation.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
