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.

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.

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.

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.
