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.

Background: Hernia is the abnormal exit of an organ or fatty tissue, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides. Repair of inguinal hernia is one of the common surgical procedures done worldwide. Present study was performed with an aim to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic hernia repair and Lichtenstein’s hernioplasty and to know for any special pre-operative/ intra operative requirements for surgery.Methods: Present study is a non-randomized comparative study. The study consisted 50 patients treated with Hernioplasty (20 cases of laparoscopic hernioplasty and 30 cases of open hernioplasty in the Department of General Surgery, during the study period of one year. Data were collected using a questionnaire.Results: Mean operating time in group A was 92.25 minutes while in group B was 43.5 minutes, which is significantly supplementary. Pain score was significantly less in group A with 75% patients giving score 1-2 (mild pain) and 3 patients with discomforting pain with p<0.05.Conclusions: laparoscopic pre-peritoneal mesh repair of inguinal hernia is safe and efficacious and offers definitive advantages over open mesh repair and should be an available option for all patients requiring elective Hernioplasty.

Background: Hernias of the abdominal wall constitute an important public health problem. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TEP) is a minimal access surgical procedure as compared to open hernia repair. The objective of the study was to compare open and laparoscopic hernia repair in terms of safety, complications, morbidity, recurrence, post-op pain and hospital stay.Methods: This was a prospective observational comparative study. Total 50 patients were taken in this study; out of them 25 patients subjected to group A (open repair of inguinal hernia) and 25 patients subjected to group B (laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia). Postoperatively patients were observed for any complications and followed up one year.Results: Present study shows high incidence of inguinal hernia in males. Mean operative time for open hernia repair group was less than laparoscopic hernia repair group. Time to return to normal work, duration of hospital stay and postoperative pain were less in laparoscopic hernia repair group than open hernia repair group. Out of 25 patients in laparoscopic hernia repair (TEP) 1 patient had recurrence but in open hernia repair group there was no recurrence.Conclusions: Laparoscopic hernia repair is quite safe; it has definite advantages in bilateral and recurrent cases, postoperative pain, early return to normal activities, less postoperative hospital stay and better cosmetic results although it has its own disadvantages in terms of recurrence rate, operative time and cost effectiveness.

Background and objective. Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common general surgery procedures. Laparoscopic repair is technically more demanding, though it has been shown to be superior in terms of pain and discomfort, however, there is no apparent difference in recurrence between laparoscopic and open mesh methods of hernia repair. Over the years we see a relatively slow increase of laparoscopic procedures and even scepticism of the patients; thus we decided to test the hypothesis that more demanding and costly laparoscopic surgery has little benefits over the open procedure. The aim of our study was to compare postoperative pain, short- and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic hernia repair and conventional open hernia repair. Results. Laparoscopic procedure was significantly more often performed for the patients, who were younger, had shorter history of disease. The mean operative time for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair was significantly longer than for open repair (p=0.02). The pain score for laparoscopic surgery was significantly lower according to VAS on day 1, 2, 3 (overall p≤ 0.002). The patients in the laparoscopic group required significantly lower doses of narcotic analgesics on the third postoperative day; the doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were also significantly lower on the second and third postoperative day in this group. The postoperative hospital stay was shorter after laparoscopic repair (p=0.01). Sixty-four patients (71.11%) completed follow-up at one year after the operation. Nine (14.06%) of them had postoperative complications and eight of them were after open hernia repair. Two patients (3.1%) were re-operated (both patients were treated by Lichtenstein hernioplasty): one for inguinal hernia recurrence, another for testicular necrosis. Conclusions. The patients from laparoscopic group had significantly shorter postoperative pain duration (p=0.019), returned to daily activity slightly earlier and had better satisfaction with the operation comparing with the patients who undergone open surgery (p=0.915, p=0.893), but the duration of the sick leave (time off from work) was similar in both hernia repair group (p=0.260). Data shows that laparoscopic hernia repair has advantages in terms of post-operative pain intensity and duration, as well as risk of complications and patient satisfaction.

Background: Management of inguinal hernia by minimally invasive incision and minimal dissection with optimal outcomes remains an unmet need for general surgeons. The most common hernia repair procedures are Lichtenstein hernioplasty and laparoscopic hernia repair; TAPP and TEP. The modification of mesh plug repair (MPR); one inch incision-MPR (OI-MPR); could achieve optimal outcomes comparable to that of laparoscopic hernia repair. The objective of the study was to assess OI-MPR approach for management of primary indirect inguinal hernia and its outcomes in comparison to laparoscopic TAPP repair.Methods: During the period from September 2017 to March 2019, 63 patients with indirect inguinal hernia were selected randomly to one of two groups; group-A included 35 patients underwent one inch incision-mesh plug repair (OI-MPR), group-B included 28 patients underwent laparoscopic TAPP.Results: The mean operative time of group-A was 31.74±4.74 min which was significantly shorter than that of group-B (81.22±7.44 min). The mean hospital stay duration in group-A was 0.57±0.18 day and in group-B, it was 1.18±0.39 day. The patients of group-A returned to normal physical activities earlier than the patients of group-B. The duration of postoperative pain was shorter and less severe in group-A than that of group-B. Regarding complications, there was no statistically significant difference found between both groups.Conclusions: One inch incision-MPR is a simple, feasible and cost-effective approach with low morbidities and low burden on the patients and the healthcare facilities.

Abstract Background Laparoscopic surgery has led to many changes in the management of surgical patients and significantly reduced the incidence of complications associated with open surgical procedures 1. At present, laparoscopic hernia repair has gained clinical significance in patients with bilateral or recurrent hernia. 2 Objectives The aim of this study is to compare open hernioplasty and laparoscopic hernia repair in unilateral non recurrent inguinal hernia. The present study will be performed on 30 patients to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic hernia repair and open hernioplasty and to assess the intra operative and post-operative complications, duration of surgery, hospital stay, postoperative morbidity, recurrence and patient satisfaction. Patients and Methods . Comparative studies on 30 patients were classified according the type of operative technique into 2 groups: Group A patients underwent laparoscopic technique (15 patients), group B patients underwent open technique (15 patients) to evaluate and compare the open and laparoscopic techniques in unilateral non recurrent inguinal hernia repair as regard operative time,post operative pain, hospital stay, urine retention, parathesia, numbness, seroma,, wound infection and recurrence Results Our study revealed highly significant increase in operative time in laparoscopic group; compared to open group of patients; with highly significant statistical difference (p value &lt; 0.0001), highly significant decrease in post-operative pain score in laparoscopic group; compared to open group of patients; with highly significant statistical difference. (p value = 0.00434),highly significant decrease in postoperative hospital stay in laparoscopic group; compared to open group of patients; with highly significant statistical difference. (p value = 0.000003), significant decrease in post operative parathesia and numbness in laparoscopic group; compared to open group of patients; (p value =0.000414),highly significant decrease in post-operative urine retention in laparoscopic group; compared to open group of patients; with highly significant statistical difference (p value= 0.000267). Conclusion The laparoscopic technique is superior to the open technique of tensionfree repair, in terms of immediate post-operative complications and delayed pain and paresthesia also in terms of safety.

Aim: The outcome comparison of total extraperitoneal versus mesh repair for inguinal hernia. Study design: Quasi experimental study. Place and duration of study: Department of Surgery, M. Islam Teaching Hospital, Gujranwala from March 2018 to March 2019. Methodology: After the approval of hospital ethical committee, a total of 50 patients were included and randomly divided into two groups equally. Group A (Total extraperitoneal), Group B (Mesh repair). An informed consent was taken from every patient about operative procedure and the outcome. A detailed history of the patient i.e. clinical examination, routine investigations (CBC, Urine R/E, urea, creatinine) and some specific investigations (chest X-ray, ECG and ultrasound abdomen and prostate) was done for surgery. All data of patients was collected on proforma and was analyzed with the help of a computer SPSS programme 20. Results: The mean age of patients was 34.22±11.54 years in group A and 35.63±11.25 years in group B. All male and female patients included in this study in both groups. Twelve (48%) of patients were direct inguinal hernia in group A 13(22%) were in group B and 14(56%) patients were in group A and 11(44%) patients were in group B. The mean±SD postoperative hospital stay was 24.48±4.62 in group A and 34.65±12.26 hours in group B (p 0.001). The mean±SD postoperative recovery time in weeks was 2.18±0.43 in group A and 2.90±0.46 weeks in group B (p 0.001). Only 2 (4%) patient had postoperative infection on first week and 4 (8%) patients had infection respectively. No recurrence was seen in group A and only 3% recurrence was in group B. Conclusion: It is concluded that group A had shorter hospital stay, recovery time, postoperative time and less infection rate as compared to group B. In group A 13% patients had severe pain and in group B 25% patients. Keywords: Inguinal Hernia, Total extraperitoneal, Mesh repair.

Objective: To compare the results of Inguinal Hernia repair using commonly employed methods of Bassini’s and Mesh repair. Methodology: This study included 90 cases of hernia repair ranging over a period of 18 months from October 2008 to Mar 2010 at Social Security Hospital Lahore. All the cases were done by the consultants and senior surgeons. The methods of repair included Bassini’s and Hernioplasty with Prosthetic mesh. Results: Out of 90 patients, 88 were males (97.78%) and 02 were females (2.22%). Male – female ratio 45 : 1. The peak incidence was found in 3rd and 4th decades of life. 56(62.22%) had Rt.sided Inguinal hernia, 29 (32.22%) had Lt. sided and 5(5.56%) had bilateral Inguinal hernia. 72 patients (80%) had Indirect Inguinal hernia, 17 (18.89%) had direct inguinal hernia while 1(1.11%) had both types. All the cases were done under Spinal anaesthesia. The Bassini’s repair was performed in 50% cases, using non-absorble no. 1 Prolene interrupted suturing (Group- A). In the Group – B, 50% cases underwent Hernioplasty with prosthetic prolene mesh 6x11 cms. Post-operative follow up was done for a period of 01 year. In the group- A, 3 (6.67%) patients had recurrence and 3 (6.67%) had infection of the wound. In group – B, 01 patient (2.22%) got infected and none of the cases did not get recurrence over a period of 01 year. Conclusions: Hernioplasty with prosthetic mesh is a better treatment modality for inguinal hernia repair to get a low recurrence rate.

Introduction: The role of prophylactic antibiotics in open mesh repair of inguinal hernia is still controversial. The dogmatic hernia specialists are always in favour of no use of antibiotic in case of inguinal hernia repair on contrary, many others favour the use of prophylactic antibiotic. Objective: To determine the role of prophylactic antibiotic in case of open mesh inguinal hernia surgery by a prospective randomized study. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized interventional and observational study was conducted from March to December 2017 at Combined Military Hospital, Chattogram. Total 40 patients selected for open inguinal hernia surgery were grouped as Group-A and Group-B containing 20 in each group on the basis of systematic random sampling. The Group-A and Group-B patients were treated with a single dose of prophylactic antibiotic (1.5gm Cefuroxime) and a similar quantity of normal saline respectively. Data were recorded, compiled, edited and analyzed by SPSS version 23. Results: The mean age of Group-A and B respondents were 53.16±7.76 and 52.39±5.69 years respectively. Mean duration of surgery was 59.76±2.1 and 54.56±18.3 minutes in Group-A and B respectively. Surgical site infection (SSI) was present in 2(10%) cases of Group-A and 5(25%) of Group-B. Though it was little higher in Group-B, the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Staphylococcus was most prevalent in Group-A and multiple organisms in Group-B. Conclusion: Prophylactic antibiotic is not able to significantly decrease the rate of SSI. Journal of Armed Forces Medical College Bangladesh Vol.13(2) 2017: 18-21

Abstract Background Hernia is a common problem of the modern world with an incidence ranging from 5%-7%. Of all groin hernias, around 75% are inguinal hernias. Recently with advancement in laparoscopy, endoscopic repairs seem to offer better quality of life, decreasing hospital stay and early return to work. Aim of the Work To compare between self fixating mesh and non self fixating mesh in laproscopic inguinal hernia repair transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach as regards intraoperative time, complications, postoperative pain, return to normal activity and incidence of recurrence. Patients and Methods This study was conducted on 30 adult patients presenting with inguinal hernias. They were divided into 2 equal groups of 15 patients each. The first group (A): includes fifteen patients and was operated upon by a Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernioplasty technique using self -gripping (SGM group) (Parietex ProGrip] Laparoscopic (PPL) meshes), while the second group (B): includes fifteen patients and were operated upon by a Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernioplasty technique with non-self fixating mesh. Results The postoperative pain assessment at 24 hours and 4 weeks shows that the mean VAS score for GROUP A was (3.70 ± 1.72) and for GROUP B (3.90 ± 1.25) while after 1 month duration follow up, the mean VAS score was (1.25 ± 0.79) for Group A and (1.20 ± 0.77) for Group B with no difference between the two groups confirming the atraumatic nature of the self gripping mesh. Conclusion After this comparative study, both mesh fixation with absorpable tacks and fixation using SGM approaches are similarly effective in terms of operative time, the incidence of recurrence, complications and chronic pain coinciding with all the available literature.
