Background: Inguinal hernia repair remains the most common surgery performed by general surgeons worldwide. There is a lot of published data on the surgical management of inguinal hernias in our country. This study aims to describe our experiences in the surgical management of inguinal hernias and compare our results with those reported in the literature. Material and Method: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted at the University Hospital of Trauma in Albania. From April 2016 - March 2018 were recorded all the data for patients who presented to our hospital and underwent inguinal hernia repair in our hospital, under the conditions of elective surgery. Statistical data analysis was done using SPSS software version 17.0. Results: In this period had a total of 542 patients with inguinal hernias were enrolled in the study. The median age of patients was 46,12 years (range 14 to 92 years old). Males outnumbered females by a ratio of 18.3:1. This gender difference was statistically significant (p = 0.004). Most patients 130 (23.9%) presented late (more than one year of onset of hernia). At presentation, 208 (38.4%) patients had a reducible hernia, 101(18.6%) had an irreducible hernia. The majority of patients 303(55.9 %) had a right-sided inguinal hernia, and 156(28.7 %) had left-sided inguinal hernia with a right-to-left ratio of 1.94: 1. Eighty-three 83(15.3%) patients had bilateral inguinal hernias. 319 (58.8%) patients had an indirect hernia, Conclusion: Inguinal hernias continue to be a source of morbidity and mortality in our center. Early presentation and elective repair of inguinal hernias is pivotal in order to eliminate the morbidity and mortality associated with this very common problem.

Background: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has been proven to be a safe and effective procedure for groin hernias. In recent years, many of the tertiary centers in Nepal have started performing laparoscopic hernia repair. With the availability of resources and the facilities, the laparoscopic repairs for inguinal hernias are going to be more accessible in near future in Nepal. The aim of this study was to compare the intraoperative events and postoperative complications of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) techniques of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs.Methods: Out of 56 patients, 30 underwent TAPP and 26 TEP repairs for primary unilateral inguinal hernias and were prospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, past medical and surgical history, intraoperative, and postoperative events were recorded. Patients were followed-up for two years.Results: Demographic parameters were comparable in both the groups. The difference in mean operating time was statistically significant (longer in the TAPP group). Intraoperative events such as port-site bleeding and peritoneal tear were comparable in both groups. The immediate postoperative complications like skin ecchymosis, cord hematoma, and scrotal edema were comparable in both repairs.  Immediate postoperative pain was significantly lesser in TEP repair whereas the hospital stays and time to return to the normal physical activity were comparable in both groups.Conclusions: Both TAPP and TEP laparoscopic techniques are safe and effective for inguinal hernia repair. However, there are few advantages of TEP repair such as shorter duration of surgery and less postoperative pain.

Background: The two common procedures which are nowadays commonly performed for laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia are transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) mesh repair. This retrospective study was aimed to compare these two, TAPP and TEP laparoscopic approaches for inguinal hernia repair in terms of various outcomes.Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 50 cases of inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic approach of inguinal hernia repair at Saveetha medical college and hospital between 2014 and 2016 for a duration of 3 years. Various parameters including the age, sex of patient, type of hernia, preoperative and post-operative complications, duration of hospital stay was analysed.Results: Of the 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic repair, 26 patients underwent TEP and 24 patients under went TAPP procedure. 31 cases were indirect inguinal hernias and 30 cases were direct inguinal hernias, totalling 61 hernia repairs, as 11 patients had bilateral hernia. One female inguinal hernia and 4 cases of recurrent hernia were operated by TAPP method. Postoperative complications like seroma formation; subcutaneous emphysema was seen in TEP group. Two cases of TEP were converted to TAPP and open lichenstein procedure. Postoperative pain was less in both the group. Patients who underwent TEP procedure spent less time in the hospital compared to those who underwent TAPP procedure.Conclusions: There is no major difference in the outcome after TEP and TAPP surgeries except for some minor complications and the results are comparable in both techniques TAPP and TEP. Both the procedures can be practiced according to surgeon’s familiarity of the procedure.

Objective. This is a prospective study of 50 cases of inguinal hernias which were treated through open inguinal hernia repair techniques. The study was conducted with the objective of comparing the effectiveness of these procedures and complications. Materials and Methods. A number of 50 cases of inguinal hernias admitted to Dr. BR Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All the patients with direct and indirect uncomplicated hernias treated by means of an open approach were included. After the preoperative preparation, they were randomly chosen either for Desarda’s or Modified Bassini’s repair techniques. Results. In the postoperative period, moderate pain was experienced by 19 patients included in the Desarda group and 17 patients included in the Modified Bassini’s repair group on day 1. The postoperative wound infection developed in 2 cases of Desarda and 3 cases of Modified Bassini’s, erythema was observed in 2 cases of Desarda and 3 cases of Modified Bassini’s, 3 cases reported the occurrence of seroma in the Desarda group and 4 cases of seroma were recorded in the Modified Bassini’s group. Conclusions. The patients who underwent Desarda repair complained of a higher intensity of pain, which could probably be attributed to the extensive dissection involved. The duration of Desarda repair was longer due to the learning curve of the surgeons in our hospital. The return to normal gait and normal activities was significantly lower in the Desarda group. The duration of hospital stays and the postoperative complications was not significantly different in the two groups. There were no recurrences in either of the groups until the current study.

Abstract Background Contralateral clinically occult hernias are frequently noted at the time of laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair. There is no consensus on the role of contralateral exploration and repair. This systematic review assessed the safety and efficacy of operative repair of occult contralateral inguinal hernias found during unilateral repair. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to February 2020. Adults diagnosed with a unilateral inguinal hernia undergoing laparoscopic repair were included. The primary outcome was the incidence of occult contralateral hernias. Summative outcomes of operative and expectant management were reported along with development of a Markov decision process. Results Thirteen studies (1 randomized trial, 12 observational cohorts) with 5000 patients were included. The incidence of occult contralateral inguinal hernias was 14.6 (range 7.3–50.1) per cent. Among patients who underwent repair, 10.5 (4.3–17.0) per cent experienced a postoperative complication. Of patients managed expectantly, 29 per cent later required elective repair for symptoms. Mean follow-up was 36 (range 2–218) months. Using a Markov decision process, it was calculated that, for every 1000 patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair, contralateral exploration would identify 150 patients with an occult hernia. Repair would result in 15 patients developing a postoperative complication and 105 undergoing unnecessary repair. Alternatively, expectant management would result in 45 patients requiring subsequent repair. Conclusion Contralateral repair is not warranted in patients with occult hernias diagnosed at the time of elective hernia repair. The evidence is largely based on observational studies at high risk of bias.

Abstract Aim Aim of our study was to analyze outcomes and safety of bilateral inguinal hernia repair in unilateral groin complicated hernia with contralateral groin hernia. Material and Methods Retrospective cohorts study following STROBE statements on a prospective Emergency Surgery Department database. Inclusion criteria were: patients with emergency hernia repair from 2008 to 2018, 18 years old. Unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia repair without other abdominal wall hernia repairs. Comparative analysis between two group unilateral hernia repair (UH) vs bilateral hernia repair (BH) those patients with unilateral complicated inguinal hernia with contralateral inguinal hernia. Propensity score matching (PSM) between groups was performed to eliminate statistically groups differences. Outcomes between groups were analyzed with special attention to postoperative morbimortality and hernia recurrence. Results 341 patients were included, 38(11.1%) were performed bilateral hernia repair. Groups differences were: higher rate of inguinoscrotal inguinal hernia (36.8 vs 22.8), prophylactic antibiotics use (94.7 vs 81.8) and general Anesthesia use (52.6% vs 50.2%). General high rates of morbidity and mortality were observed (5.9% and 41.9) and 22 (6.5%) hernia repair recurrence were detected. After PSM no differences between surgery outcomes groups were observed with similar morbidity, recurrence or hospital stay. Conclusions Emergency inguinal hernia repair has high morbidity and mortality rates in our experience. Emergency Bilateral inguinal hernia repair in context of hernia complication seems safe without recurrence or hospital stay increase.

INTRODUCTION: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures in pediatric surgery. In parallel with the advances in the field of medicine, various laparoscopic techniques have been developed in inguinal hernia repair. The Burnia technique is one of the latest published techniques and it is the cauterization of the inguinal hernia sac laparoscopically without using sutures in girls. The aim of this study is the investigation of the use of Burnia technique in clinical practice, and its postoperative outcomes. Any article concerning the use of this technique in Turkey has not been encountered. METHODS: The demographic features of patients, preoperative, peroperative, postoperative and follow-up results of 41 patients who had been operated with Burnia technique by a single surgeon within 2 years were reviewed retrospectively. Laparoscopically, the camera was first placed at an inclination of 30 degrees to the umbilical region using Hasson technique, and then, a single port was used for cauterization of the hernia sac. The Hernia sac was pulled into the abdominal cavity and cauterized. RESULTS: Burnia technique was applied to 62 inguinal hernia sacs in 41 girls. Their ages ranged from 1.5 to 16 years (median 36 months) with body weights ranging between 3.5 kg-40 kg (median 12 kg). Preoperatively 15 patients had right (37%), 19 patients left (46%), 7 patients bilateral inguinal hernias (17%). During surgery, 14 of the unilateral inguinal hernias were found to have a hernia sac on the contralateral side, and the rate of bilateral hernia increased to 51 percent. In one patient ovary was in the inguinal canal, and after its reduction, we proceeded with the operation Unexpectedly. in one patient, right ovarian torsion was detected which was detorsioned, and hernia surgery was performed in the same session. The duration of the operation was 5-35 min (median 15 min) for unilateral and 8-45 min (median 20 minutes) for bilateral hernias. None of these patients developed peroperative and postoperative complications. Follow-up time was minimum 10 months, and maximum 3 years. Recurrence was not detected. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Burnia technique seems to be effective and safe. The contralateral side and other intra-abdominal pathologies are explored. The cosmetic appearance is its another advantage. The operation time is very short due to the fact that only the hernia sac is cauterized. Comparison of this technique with other laparoscopic techniques is planned in the future study.

Inguinal hernia is a common disease affecting about 5-10% of the population. About 370 000 inguinal hernia repair per year is registered in Russia. Surgeons have reduced recurrence of hernias to a minimum after the widespread introduction of non-tension hernia repair. However, today other complications of inguinal hernias have become prevalent: infection, pain and paresthesia in the scrotum, pathospermia. Opinion about the negative impact on spermatogenesis of both herniation and surgery for hernia is still controversial. This article provides an overview of modern foreign and Russian literature on the аssociation of different types of inguinal hernia repair with pathospermia.
