Objectives: Inguinal hernia is the most common hernia and inguinal hernia repair is the most frequently performed operation in gerenal surgery. Hernioplasty by laparoscopy was gradually the standard method for inguinal hernia repair all over the world. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectness and safeness of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair. Materials and methods: A prospective analysis of patients, admitted for groin hernia and operated by laparoscopic TEP hernia repair, performed between June 2010 and December 2011. Data were collected regarding general characteristics, complication rates, length of hospital stay and the recurrence rate postoperative of this laparoscopic method. Results: 35 patients underwent laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair with an average age of 51.3±13.8 years (range 31 – 72 years); 5.7% of the inguinal hernias were operated bilaterally, peritoneal laceration was noticed during dissection in 14.3%, there was no injury of the inferior epigastric vessels during dissection. Unilateral hernia had an operative time of 66.52 ± 17.4 minutes (range 45 – 115 minutes) and bilateral hernia took 107.5 minutes (range 95 – 120 minutes). All of these patients in the study were controlled, 5.7% had seroma at the time 3 months postoperative, there were no recurrences during follow-up ranging from 3 – 18 months (average 9.6 months). Conclusions: The laparoscopic (TEP) repair of inguinal hernia is safe and effective. That laparoscopy method should be the gold standard technique in treatment for the repair of inguinal hernias. Keywords: groin hernia – TEP hernioplasty - laparoscopy

Given the rising rate of opioid-related adverse drug events during postsurgical pain management, a nonpharmacologic therapy that could decrease analgesic medication requirements would be of immense value. We designed a prospective, placebo-and-randomized controlled trial to assess the clinical effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TEAS) on the postoperative patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) requirement for morphine, as well as side effects and recovery profile after inguinal hernia repair. Seventy-one subjects undergoing inguinal hernia repair with a standardized anesthetic technique were randomly assigned to one of three analgesic treatment regimens: PCA + TEAS (n = 24); PCA + sham-TEAS (no electrical stimulation) (n = 24), and PCA only (n = 23). The postoperative PCA requirement, pain scores, opioid-related side effects, and blood cortisol levels were recorded. TEAS treatment resulted in a twofold decrease in the analgesic requirement and decreased pain level reported by the patients. In addition, a significant reduction of cortisol level was reported in the TEAS group at 24 h postoperatively compared to the sham and control groups. We conclude that TEAS is a safe and effective option for reducing analgesic consumption and postoperative pain following inguinal hernia repair.

Background. The exact nature of learning curve of totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia and the number required to master this technique remain controversial.Patients and Methods. We present a retrospective review of a single surgeon experience on patients who underwent totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair.Results. There were 42 hernias (22 left- and 20 right-sided) in 39 patients with a mean age of48.8±15.1years. Indirect, direct, and combined hernias were present in 18, 12, and 12 cases, respectively. The mean operative time was55.1±22.8minutes. Peritoneal injury occurred in 9 cases (21.4%). Conversion to open surgery was necessitated in 7 cases (16.7%). After grouping of all patients into two groups as cases between 1–21 and 22–42, it was seen that the majority of peritoneal injuries (7 out of 9, 77.8%,P=0.130) and all conversions (P=0.001) occurred in the first 21 cases.Conclusions. Learning curve of totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair can be divided into two consequent steps: immediate and late. At least 20 operations are required for gaining anatomical knowledge and surgical pitfalls based on the ability to perform this operation without conversion during immediate phase.
