BACKGROUND: Fixation of mesh in pre-peritoneal space is an important step in laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair. Mesh dislocation is one of the most frequent causes responsible for recurrence. Of the many factors inuencing postoperative pain, the technique of xation has been reported to be one of the most signicant determinants. So mesh xation with adhesives instead of mechanical devices has been proposed as a mean to reduce the incidence of postoperative pain. AIM: To compare clinical outcome and morbidity of xation of mesh using brin glue and tackers in trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair METHODOLOGY: We did a prospective randomized comparative study in which we enrolled 50 patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair (TAPP). Those who met our inclusion criteria were randomized for study purpose after obtaining informed consent, in 25 patients mesh xed with tackers (group A) and in other 25 patients mesh xed with brin glue (group B). Patients were compared for intraoperative time required for mesh xation, early and late postoperative pain, time required to resume normal daily physical activity, length of hospital stay, hernia recurrence and seroma formation. Postoperative follow up was done up to six months. RESULTS: Two groups were comparable in terms of demographic variables. We observed that postoperative pain, time required resuming normal daily activity and incidence of seroma formation was less in group B (Mesh xed with glue). There was no signicant difference in length of hospital stay in both groups and no evidence of hernia recurrence in both groups during follow up period. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that xation of mesh with brin glue when compared with tackers, seems to reduce postoperative pain, time to resume daily activities and incidence of seroma formation with no difference in length of hospital stay, early hernia recurrence with longer operative time.

Abstract Purpose To compare the efficacy of conventional interlaminar fenestration discectomy (IFD) with transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (TELD) for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods The clinical data of 1100 patients who had been diagnosed with LDH between January 2012 and December 2017 were retrospectively analysed. IFD was performed on 605 patients in Group A, whereas TELD was performed on 505 patients in Group B. The Oswestry Disability Index, Visual Analogue Scale for pain and modified MacNab criteria were used to evaluate the outcomes. The surgery duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative off-bed activity and postoperative length of hospital stay were recorded. Results The follow-up period ranged from 24 to 60 months, with an average of 43 months. The excellent and good outcome rates were 93.5% in Group A and 92.6% in Group B. There was no significant difference in efficacy between the groups (P > 0.05). However, Group B had significantly less intraoperative blood loss and shorter bed rest duration and postoperative length of hospital stay than Group A (P < 0.05). There were two cases of postoperative recurrence in Group A and three in Group B. Conclusions Although conventional IFD and TELD had similar levels of efficacy in treating LDH, TELD had several advantages. There was less intraoperative bleeding, shorter length of hospital stay and shorter bed rest duration. It can be considered a safe and effective surgical option for treating LDH.

Background: Robot-assisted ventral hernia repair, when performed correctly, may reduce the risk for pain and discomfort in the postoperative period thus enabling shorter hospital stay. The aim of the present study was to evaluate postoperative pain following robot-assisted laparoscopic repair. The approach was selected after an intraoperative decision to complete the repair as: (1). Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair (TAPP); (2). Trans-Abdominal RetroMuscular (TARM) repair; or (3). Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) repair depending on anatomical conditions.Methods: Twenty ventral hernia repairs, 8 primary and 12 incisional, were included between 18th Dec 2017 and 11th Nov 2019. There were 8 women, mean age was 60.3 years, and mean diameter of the defect was 3.8 cm. The repairs were performed at Södersjukhuset (Southern General Hospital, Stockholm) using the Da Vinci Si Surgical System®. Sixteen repairs were completed with the TAPP technique, 2 with the TARM technique, and 2 as IPOM repair.Results: Mean hospital stay was 1.05 days. No postoperative infection was seen, and no recurrence was seen at 1 year. At the 30-day follow-up, fifteen patients (75%) rated their pain as zero or pain that was easily ignored, according to the Ventral Hernia Pain Questionnaire. After 1 year no one had pain that was not easily ignored.Conclusion: The present study shows that robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral hernia is feasible and safe. More randomized controlled trials are needed to show that the potential benefits in terms of shorter operation times, earlier discharge, and less postoperative pain motivate the extra costs associated with the robot technique.

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.

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate the safety and the efficacy of the self-gripping mesh (ProgripTM) for inguinal hernia repair in morbid patients of the higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (ASA III and IV). The incidence of chronic pain, postoperative complications, and hernia recurrence was evaluated.Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from the files of the patient and were analyzed for 198 hernias in 147 patients. All the patients included in this study had undergone inguinal hernia repair by Lichtenstein approach with the self-gripping mesh (ProgripTM) in the same clinical center. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data were collected and a long-term follow-up of 31.8 ± 19.5 m (5–60 m) was performed. Complications, pain scored on a 0–10 numeric rating scale (NRS), and hernia recurrence were assessed.Results: During the past 5 years, 198 hernias in 147 patients were repaired with the Lichtenstein procedure with the self-gripping mesh (ProgripTM). The majority of the patients were high level of the ASA classification (ASA III and IV) (95.9%), with ASA III (10.2%) and IV (85.7%). The mean operation time was 71.2 ± 23.8 min. The mean length of postoperative stay was 2.5 ± 2.1 days. There were no intraoperative complications. About 14 cases (7.1%) suffered from postoperative surgical wound complications, which were limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissue and were cured with the conservative methods successfully; there was no mesh infection, the acute postoperative pain was low or mild [visual analog scale (VAS) score ≤ 4] and the chronic postoperative pain was reported in three patients (1.5%) and tolerable, hernia recurrence (femoral hernia recurrence) occurred in one patient half a year after during the follow-up period.Conclusion: This study demonstrated the advantages of the self-gripping mesh in hernia repair of the high-risk patients with inguinal hernia (ASA III and IV) by Lichtenstein procedure under local anesthesia.

A hernia, an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a defect in its surrounding wall is a very common surgical problem. Approximately 75% of all hernias are usually groin hernias, among which 95% are inguinal region hernias. Various methods of repair have been employed which have progressed from open repair to various laparoscopic approaches. There is insufficient data to draw conclusions about the relative effectiveness of the two laparoscopic methods. Overall superiority of the two laparoscopic methods has not been demonstrated in available literature. AIM: The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness and relative efficiency of laparoscopic TAPP and laparoscopic TEP for inguinal hernia repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Hospital based comparative randomised study on 100 patients admitted in General Surgical wards with Inguinal hernia at a tertiary care centre of Eastern India. Randomization in two groups was done by lottery system. A well designed proforma containing various parameters under study was used for data collection. Baseline information were collected via structured interview using predesigned questionnaire. For statistical analysis data were entered into a Microsoft excel spreadsheet and then analyzed by SPSS version 24 and GraphPad Prism version 5. Data had been summarized as mean and standard deviation for numerical variables and count and percentages for categorical variables. Two-sample t-tests for a difference in mean involved independent samples or unpaired samples. Paired t-tests were a form of blocking and had greater power than unpaired tests. A chi-squared test (χ2 test) was any statistical hypothesis test wherein the sampling distribution of the test statistic is a chi-squared distribution when the null hypothesis is true. Unpaired proportions were compared by Chi-square test or Fischer’s exact test, as appropriate. RESULTS: TAPP was associated with significantly higher incidence of haematoma, length of hospital stay, early postoperative pain and longer operative time as compared to TEP. Visceral injury and vascular injury were found more in TAPP as compared to TEP but this was not statistically significant. Seroma, port site hernia, persisting numbness and mesh/deep infection was higher in group-A (TAPP) as compared to group-B (TEP) but this was not statistically significant. Conversion to open procedure and persistent pain were comparable among the two methods. Hernia recurrence rates were higher in the TEP group in this study although it was statistically insignificant. CONCLUSION: TAPP was associated with significantly higher incidence of haematoma, length of hospital stay, early postoperative pain and longer operative time as compared to TEP.

Objective: Postoperative pain is a frequent problem after orthopedic procedures like hallux valgus surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether ankle block improves early and mid-term functional outcomes and postoperative pain management after hallux valgus surgery in patients receiving general anesthesia. Subjects and Methods: This randomized controlled trial investigated 60 patients who underwent hallux valgus surgery under general anesthesia. Patients were prospectively randomized into 2 groups: general anesthesia only (group A) and ankle block added to general anesthesia (group B). Age, body-mass index, tourniquet time, duration of surgery, first analgesic need time, perioperative analgesic regimen, visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS), and length of hospital stay were recorded. Independent variables were analyzed by t test. Nonparametric data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Patient age, demographics, and body mass indices were similar between the 2 groups. The average length of hospital stay was significantly longer in group A (p < 0.01). Group B had a longer time to first analgesic need than group A (p < 0.01). Patients in group B required less analgesic during the postoperative period. Preoperative VAS and AOFAS scores were not statistically dif ferent between the 2 groups. The postoperative day 1 VAS score was significantly lower in group B than in group A. Follow-up visits at 3, 6, and 12 months showed significantly lower VAS and higher AOFAS scores in group B than group A. Conclusion: Ankle block added to general anesthesia may improve early and mid-term postoperative functional outcomes and postoperative pain management in patients who undergo hallux valgus surgery.

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.
