Lichtenstein Hernioplasty

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgeries worldwide. While numerous surgical approaches exist to treat inguinal hernias, the Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair remains the gold standard. This retrospective study is carried out to evaluate the short and long term outcomes of Lichtenstein hernioplasty in the hand of a general surgeon. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of all adult inguinal hernia repair by Lichtenstein method between January .2003 and December 2009 was carried out. The outcome measures were early post-operative complications, incidence of chronic groin pain and recurrence rate. Results: A total of 526 procedures were carried out in 445 adult male patients during the study period. The median age of the patients was 49 years (range, 21-73 years). All patients underwent Lichtenstein hernioplasty under spinal anesthesia. Length of hospital stay was median 2.4 days (range, 1-4 days). Median time to the resumption of normal activities was 8 days (range, 5-1 0 days). Urinary retention was the most frequent early post-operative complication (5.1 6%). Rate of wound infection was acceptable (0.44%). Chronic groin pain was experienced by three patients (0.67%). There was no recurrence observed among the 291 (65.4% of the total) patients who were available after two years of the procedure. Conclusion: The Lichtenstein open tension-free mesh repair of adult inguinal hernia is a safe procedure with least post-operative morbidity and least chance for recurrence. It is a simple technique, quick and. easy to perform without compromising the patient's care and long-term outcome in the hand of an experienced general surgeon.

Background: The objective of the study was to evaluate effect of prophylactic ilio-inguinal neurectomy on incidence of chronic groin pain following the Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty for inguinal hernia.Methods: This prospective study included male cases admitted with uncomplicated inguinal hernia. Patients were categorised into two groups: Group A: Ilioinguinal nerve preserved, Group B: Ilioinguinal nerve excision. Standard tension-free Lichtenstein mesh repair was adopted. Patients were followed up for assessment of chronic groin pain, hypoesthesia, and numbness at post-operative day (POD) 3, POD14, 1 month and 3 months. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess severity of pain. Sensory assessment was done using standard Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test. Student t test was used and a 2-sided p<0.05 was considered significant.Results: A total of 60 patients with uncomplicated inguinal hernia underwent Lichenstein mesh Hernioplasty (mean age of patients in nerve preservation: 35.8±11.9 years and nerve excision group: 42.7±9.6 years). Postoperative pain significantly decreased in group B at POD 3 (65.5% vs. 89.7%, p=0.01) and 3 months (0% vs. 24.1%, p=0.003) when compared to group A. Prevalence of numbness reduced significantly in group A at 3 month (44.8% vs. 86.2%, p=0.001). Although post-operative hypo aesthesia was comparable between the groups at POD 3 (84.6% vs. 78.1%), it decreased significantly in group A at 3 months (27.6 % vs. 86.2%, p<0.001) when compared to group B.Conclusions: Prophylactic excision of ilio-inguinal nerve during Lichtenstein mesh hernia repair decreases the incidence of chronic groin pain after surgery, without additional morbidities.

Abstract Objective To prove Inguinal mesh hernioplasty under L/A is safe and acceptable. Helps with post-operative pain and enables rapid recovery as a day case. Method All patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair under local anaesthesia were retrospectively analysed in our hospital between July 2014- July 2017. Clinical judgement was used for inclusion and exclusion parameters. Results From July 2014- July 2017, 260 patients were included in study who underwent Inguinal mesh hernioplasty under L/A. ASA grade for all patients ranged between I-III. The mean age was 37 (20-65). Intraoperatively (9.1) 3.5% patients had problems such as pain, hypotension or sweating. About (86.3%) 224 patients were discharged home the same day and remaining stayed overnight for less than 24 hours. Hematoma was seen in 5 (1.92%) patients, Urinary retention in 2 (0.7%) patients, Wound infection seen in 24(9.2%) patients, Readmission in 10 (3.8%) patients. Chronic groin pain was seen in 10 (3.9%) patients and no recurrence on 6 months follow up. Conclusions Our results showed that this procedure is feasible under L/A and can be performed safely. It showed satisfactory acceptance by the operating surgeon and patient, without significant perioperative issues. It is reliable and showed shorter hospital stay.

Abstract Aim The main objective of this study is to describe and analyze the assessment and treatment of chronic groin pain (CGP) based on the experience collected in 20 years. Material and Methods Descriptive, observational, and retrospective study. It is a multidisciplinary team formed by surgeons, physiotherapists, orthopedists, and imaging specialists. That had developed an assessment, diagnosis, and treatment algorithm for (CGP), which have been implemented for more than 20 years. Follow-up included a record of clinical examination findings, clinical entities diagnosed, ultrasound findings, physiotherapy treatment, operation notes, and postoperative recovery, time to return to sporting activity, and complications. Results In the period between August 2000 and August 2020, we assessed 9996 patients with CGP. (91%) men and (9%) women with a mean age of 30 (SD: 11.21). The most frequently practiced sports were: football (43%), rugby (25%), tennis (12%). The most frequent clinical entities registered were tendinopathies (69%): iliopsoas-pectineus- related (36%) and adductor-related (33%). Tendinopathy sports rehabilitation treatment: (95.7%) presented total recovery in 45 days; 260 patients (4.3%)intra-tissue percutaneous electrolysis was used with favorable recovery. Only 16 patients required tenotomies The ultrasound has been used to detect signs of adductor tendinopathy (92%) and sportsman hernia, but has low sensitivity in iliopsoas-pectineus tendinopathy (21%). Conclusions The algorithm used has proven to be safe and successful. Tendinopathies and Sportsman's hernia are the most common causes of chronic groin pain in sportsmen, presenting together in 82% of the cases. TAPP hernioplasty repair, followed by physical rehabilitation offered excellent results to treat sportsman hernia.

Mesh Hernioplasty

Background: Residual neuralgia, called as Inguinodynia, is an important complication unique to groin hernia repair. The reported incidence ranges between 9-63%. The symptoms are potentially disabling. Symptoms are often more pronounced on axial twisting of body. Methods for prevention include identification and preservation of all nerves, Ilioinguinal Neurectomy and triple Neurectomy during surgery.Methods: One hundred patients underwent elective unilateral Lichtenstein’s tension free hernioplasty. 50 patients were subjected to elective ilioinguinal neurectomy. The remaining underwent standard Liechtenstein’s mesh hernioplasty, without ilioinguinal neurectomy. Randomization was achieved by allocating alternate patients to each group - prophylactic neurectomy, or nerve preservation. All patients, during each review were asked to fill out a Pain Disability Questionnaire to assess sensory loss and pain disability objectively.Results: At completion of 6 monthly follow up pain at rest (none in group ‘A’ compared with 3 in group ‘B’), after coughing 5 times (none in group ‘A’ compared with 7 in group ‘B’), after climbing 4 flights of stairs(3 in group ‘A’ compared with 16 in group ‘B’) and after cycling for 20 minutes (11 in group ‘A’ compared with 22 in group ‘B’) were all significantly lesser in the neurectomy group as compared with the non neurectomy group. More importantly, exertional chronic pain incidence at 6 months was significantly less in group ‘A’.Conclusions: It was concluded that pain after inguinal mesh hernioplasty is a cause of morbidity, pain was complained of by a significantly larger number of non-neurectomised patients at 6 months of follow-up, prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy is associated with reduced exertional chronic groin pain, disability caused by pain after inguinal hernioplasty, is significantly reduced by ilioinguinal neurectomy and an extremely significant reduction in the requirement of medication is brought about by neurectomy compared with controls.
