The Mean

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures in Bangladesh. The option of surgical treatment remains controversial. Laparoscopic hernia repair has all the benefits of a tension free repair. We aimed to compare postoperative outcome and cost between laparoscopic and open inguinal hernia repair. Objective: This study was conducted with an objective to compare the effectiveness of each procedure and complications if any. Materials and Methods: Fifty cases of inguinal hernia admitted in the tertiary care center were selected by nonprobability (purposive) sampling method. All patients with uncomplicated hernia treated by open or laparoscopic method were included. The age/sex, incidence, mode of presentation, surgical treatment and postoperative complications were evaluated and compared with standard published literature. Results: Postoperative wound infection developed in three cases of open hernioplasty and one case in laparoscopic surgery. Hematoma and seroma at the operated site were found in one case of laparoscopic hernioplasty and in two cases of open hernioplasty. Orchitis was more prevalent in the laparoscopic hernioplasty patient with incidence among two cases as compared to one in open group. The mean duration of hospitalization was 59.62±6.11 hours in case of laparoscopic hernioplasty while 53.33±8.26 hours in open hernioplasty. The mean duration of procedure was 72.33 minutes in laparoscopic group while 64.62 minutes in open surgery. The mean cost for the laparoscopic repair group was around taka 63000/= whereas in the open group it was around 42000/= only with significant difference. Prolonged groin pain was seen in four cases in open group as compared to one in laparoscopically operated cases. Conclusion: There were less post-operative complications in the laparoscopic group.

Background: Tension free repair using mesh in open hernia repair has become more popular in recent years. Chronic pain remains a frequent complication after Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair. The use of sutures to fix the mesh has been implicated. Fixing the mesh using cynoacrylate glue could avoid this complication. The purpose of the present study is to study the incidence of pain and other complications following inguinal hernia repair performed by the Lichtenstein technique with mesh fixation by cyanoacrylate surgical glue.Methods: T This study was conducted at tertiary care hospital. Inclusion criteria were all patients coming to the hospital with inguinal or inguinoscrotal hernias diagnosed clinically. Exclusion criteria were all complicated inguinal hernia namely obstructed, strangulated, and large hernias with scrotal abdomen, recurrent hernia. Patient not fit for surgery or not consenting to join the study. The patients will be informed about the surgery and thereafter requested to sign an informed consent. Primary outcome was postoperative pain. Secondary endpoints were operating time, surgical site infection and recurrence rate.Results: Total number of 31 cases enrolled in the study of which twenty-two had unilateral and seven had bilateral inguinal hernias. Average pain score on POD 1, 3, 7 was 5.75; 4.53; 3.32 respectively. One patient developed seroma which was managed conservatively. No evidence of recurrence during study period.Conclusions: Cyanoacrylate surgical glue is a reliable method and can be used as an alternative for conventional Lichtenstein hernia repair.

Abstract Aim Analyze the evolution of the laparoscopic approach in emergent inguinal hernia repair at our center. Material and Methods Retrospective review of patients with emergent inguinal hernia repair in our center from January 2011 to June 2020. Demographic, clinical and postoperative data were analyzed as well as the evolution of the laparoscopic approach. Results 385 patients with incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernia were registered. 58.96% were men, with a median age of 71. Of those, 22 patients (5.71%) were treated by laparoscopic approach and 363 (94.29%) by open approach. The open approach had a longer median hospitalization (4.82 vs 1.66 days), higher rate of surgical wound infection (5.51% vs. 0%), higher reoperation rate (3.31% vs 0%) and higher incidence of respiratory complications (1.97% vs 0%). 1 patient (4.54%) with laparoscopic approach required intestinal resection vs 48 patients (13.22%) of the open group, with a dehiscence rate of 0% vs 4.76% respectively. Mortality rate was 0% for the laparoscopic group and 2.75% in the open group. In the last 18 months, 28.98% of urgent hernias repaired have been performed laparoscopically, while previously from 2011 to 2017 only 0.95%, due to the learning curve obtained in elective surgery where the laparoscopic approach has had a major development in the last 3 years. Conclusions Despite the evident patient selection bias because the approach choice by the surgeon in emergent inguinal hernia repair, laparoscopic approach is feasible and has lower morbidity-mortality compared to open approach in our center. In specialized centers this may be a treatment option for selected patient groups.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair are very common in day to day general surgical practice. Results of surgical repair are often satisfactory but recurrences following surgery is troublesome both for surgeon and patient. Lichtenstein technique is now the most widely performed technique in groin hernia repair. The aim of this study was to assess short term outcome of inguinal hernia repair by Lichtenstein technique. Methods and materials: In this prospective study, 30 inguinal hernia repairs were performed by Lichtenstein technique between January 2015 and December 2017 in surgery department of Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital. Patients were scheduled for follow up visits at 1st week, three months and six months in out- patient department. The main outcome measure was early recurrence, groin pain and other complications. Results: In this study age of the patients ranged from 30 years to 78 years, The mean age was 51.93 (±SD 10.12) years. Regarding personal habit, more than half of the patients of inguinal hernia were found to be non-smoker and about 37% of the patients were current smokers. Most of the hernia were of indirect type (18/30) followed by direct type (9/30). In indirect type 55.6% of the hernias were in the right side and the rest were in left side. On an average each operation lasted for 1.18 hours and oral feeding started 12.69 hours after the operation. Two patients (6.7%) had a prolonged recovery and presented with abdominal distention after operation. Postoperative hospital stay that was 2.27 days. 6 (20%) patients developed postoperative urinary retention. Scrotal haematoma formation was observed in 5(17%) cases and local haematoma or seroma formation in incision site was reported in 4 (13%) cases. In 6 patients (20%) we used suction drain tube at tissue plane where mesh was placed for draining of blood or seroma and that drain tube was removed 2nd or 3rd postoperative period. Periincisional skin echymosis, abdominal distension and superficial wound infection, postoperative pyrexia were the other complications reported. No recurrence or mesh rejection or mesh infection were observed within short time postoperative follow up period. Conclusion: Lichtenstein technique is easy to learn, simple to perform and very rationale to perform and recurrence rate is low. Multi-centre studies with larger sample and longer duration of study and more sound study design could bring more insight regarding this issue.

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia

Background : The introduction of laparoscopic techniques has added a new dimension to groin hernia surgery. The laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia has had a staggering beginning in the surgical arena. Laparoscopic repairs have had to compete with the current gold standard for inguinal hernia repair ie Liechtenstein repair. This study shows the results of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in comparison to open repair in a similar group of patients.Methods and materials : This is a prospective study done on 50 male patient of inguinal hernia aging from 18- 65years. Among 50 patients selected for study 25 patient underwent open hernioplasty and 25 patient underwent laparoscopic hernioplasty. In the laparoscopic group, in 20 patients (80%) TAPP procedure was done & in 5 patients (20%) TEP procedure was done.Aims and Objective : The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic and conventional open repair, in the treatment of inguinal hernia.Results : Average operating time in open procedure was 55±12 minutes, and in laparoscopic procedure 65±10 minutes. Opoid analgesics were required in 36% patient in open group and 16% in laparoscopy group. Within 7 days most of the patient (76%) in laparoscopic group returned to their normal activity, but in the open group 92% patient required more than 7 days to return to normal activity. Post operative complication like hematoma formation (8%), Testicular pain (8%), retention of urine (3%), and mesh infection (4%) was more in open repair than in laparoscopic repair. In Laparoscopic group 1patient (5%) had bladder injury, and 1 patient (5%) developed illeus.Conclusion : Early results of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair are encouraging, but the chance of organ injury like bladder, or major vessel injury are more. So laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia should only be practiced with adequate training and experience in laparoscopic surgery.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2016; 4 (1): 19-22

Background: Inguinal hernias are the most common conditions presenting to the surgical department, which is repaired either with open technique or laparoscopically, Total Extra Peritoneal (TEP) or Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal (TAPP). Each procedure has its own advantages and drawbacks, none of them have been declared as the gold standard.Methods: Author did a prospective cohort study in a tertiary care hospital to assess the predictors and compare the outcomes for Open and Laparoscopic (TEP/TAPP) Inguinal hernia repair. A total of 180 patients were recruited into the study and followed up for a period of 1 year. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data.Results: 131 (72.8%) underwent open hernioplasty and 49 (27.2%) underwent laparoscopic hernioplasty. There was a significant difference between the time taken to complete an open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (p=0.004), with laparoscopic repair taking lesser operating time. Laparoscopy was converted to open repair in 3 (6.1%) patients. Mean pain scores at 6-hours post-operative was 5.28±1.355 with no difference in the pain among patients who underwent open and laparoscopic repair. Seroma or hematoma are known complications, which was seen more in the open technique. The reason for choosing open surgery was secondary to the higher cost of laparoscopic repair (Adjusted Odds Ratio=0.168, p=0.004).Conclusions: The outcomes of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair are comparable to that with the open repair.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair by laparoscopy is gaining acceptance worldwide. A flat mesh used in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is associated with more complications especially early and late postoperative pain owing to the need of mechanical fixation of this mesh. A three-dimensional mesh in this context is an emerging alternative which needs no or minimal fixation.Methods: A retrospective study of 123 patients was carried out from July 2012 to August 2017. All patients who underwent TEP by a single surgical team using three-dimensional mesh were included in the study. Data collected was analysed retrospectively.Results: Out of a total of 123 patients, 114 patients had unilateral hernia and 9 had bilateral hernia. A total of 132 laparoscopic hernia repairs were done using three-dimensional mesh. All the patients were male aged 29 to 75 years with a mean age of 51.5 years. Indirect hernias were more common comprising of 87.7%. The mean operative time was 46.9 minutes. The average mesh fixation time was 12.6 minutes. No major intraoperative complications were noted in any of the patients. Three patients (2.45%) experienced severe postoperative pain. Most of the patients 117 (95.12%) were discharged within 24 hours of surgery. Mean hospital stay in our study was 1 day. The mean length of follow-up was 12 months. Mild persistent groin pain was found in four patients (3.25%). Seroma was noted in five patients (4.06%). Hematoma and wound infection was noted in none. One patient (0.81%) had recurrence after completion of follow up. We found use of 3D mesh costly.Conclusions: Laparoscopic inguinal mesh hernioplasty using 3D mesh is a viable alternative of hernioplasty with minimal post-operative pain and recurrence and using 3D mesh has a technical advantage of easy insertion in an anatomically correct position with minimal fixation.

Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common conditions presented for surgical repair in children and laparoscopic approaches are increasingly performed. Previous studies have shown safety and efficacy in the use of supraglottic devices (SGD) as an alternative to tracheal intubation, which fits particularly well with outpatient anesthesia. Methodology: we conduct a retrospective observational study, collecting data from the electronic anesthetic form, from all patients aged 0 to 17 y who underwent ambulatory laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing between February 2015 and August 2019, if I-gelTM was used to airway management. Results: We found 230 patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 5.2 y old, mean weight 20.1 kg. All patients were ASA I (n=203) or ASA II (n=27). The mean surgery duration was 38 minutes. We found 4 respiratory adverse events, three bronchospasms, and one laryngospasm, managed in the operating room. Ninety percent of the surgeries were performed without neuromuscular blockade. Conclusion: I-gelTM was a safe, effective, and convenient alternative to airway management to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in the ambulatory setting. According to available literature, our practice did not represent an increased risk for the studied respiratory events. SGD obviates the need for neuromuscular blockade.

Objective: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery has recently been a preferred surgical approach among pediatric surgeons. The aim of this study is to compare open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair techniques in terms of complications and recurrences in children. Method: Patients whose inguinal hernias were operated with laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing technique and open high ligation technique were included in the study. Dermographic data, surgical details and postoperative complications of the patients were reviewed retrospectively. Results: A total of 246 patients were included in the study. Among them 113 patients underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and 133 patients open inguinal hernia repair. The mean age of patients in the laparoscopic group was 27.7 months (1-192 months) and the mean age of patients in the open surgery group was 27.5 months (1-156 months). Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed in 104 patients who underwent open surgery, and the contralateral inguinal hernia repair was performed in 33 of the patients after hernia was detected on the contralateral side. Recurrence was observed in 2.6% (n=3) of the patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery and 3.7%(n=5) of the patients undergoing open surgery. In 2 of the patients who underwent laparos- copic surgery had hematomas that resolved without intervention and 1 had hydrocele. On the other hand 4 of the patients who underwent open surgery had iatrogenic undescended testis and 1 had hydrocele. The follow-up periods of the patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery were 13.2, and 74 months, respectively. Conclusion: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has results comparable to open repair in terms of recurrence and complications. The advantage of the laparoscopic method can be considered as the ability to evaluate the contralateral side in all cases without increase in the risk of recur- rence and complications, and the ability to operate without scarring , but with good cosmetic results.
