The usage of prosthetic devices in the surgery of parietal defect is, nowadays, essential for a good abdominal wall recovery and prevention of the hernia recurrence. A good and suitable textile allograft should poses one or more, ideally all, of the following characteristics: pliable, strong, non-allergenic and with perfect tissue integration behavior. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the immediate and long term tissue reaction of different textile allografts used in open surgery of inguinal hernia repair.

AbstractThere is a tremendous paucity of literatures regarding the long-term surgical outcomes of the r-TAPP procedure for inguinal hernia repair. Additionally, much of the existing literatures regarding this procedure have limited follow-up of to 12 months. This article presents the outcomes of 150 consecutive r-TAPP inguinal hernia repairs performed on 111 patients using Progrip mesh without fixation, with up to 24 months of follow-up. The initial 150 consecutive r-TAPP inguinal hernia repairs were performed from February 2017 to April 2018 using Progrip without fixation. All patients were seen at 2 weeks, followed by phone follow-up at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Of the 111 patients, 39 had bilateral hernias (35%) and 72 had unilateral hernias (65%). The age range was 18–93 years. The BMI range was 20.7–50.2, with a mean of 26.4 and median of 25.8. Total operative time ranged from 28 to 138 min with a mean of 62.4 min and median of 56 min. ASA classification ranged from 1 to 4, with a mean of 2.1. No significant blood loss was observed in any of the cases. There were no conversions to open surgery. All patients were discharged the same day of the operation. We were able to follow up with 100% of the hernias at 2 weeks, 88% at 6 months, 87% at 1 year, and 80% at 2 years. No recurrences were recorded at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years. There were no reports of chronic pain up to 2 years in any of the patients. These results indicate that r-TAPP inguinal hernia repair using Progrip without further fixation is safe, effective, and can be performed with minimal recurrences or chronic pain.

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.
