ObjectiveTo compare the outcomes after self-gripping mesh repair to ordinary polypropylene mesh secured with sutures in women’s Lichtenstein hernioplasty.MethodsThe clinical data of 116 female patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernia who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to January 2017 were prospectively analyzed. A randomized controlled trial was performed based on a random number table. All patients were allocated into self-gripping mesh group (PG group) and ordinary polypropylene mesh group (PL group). The outcomes included operative time, post-operative pain score, analgesic used, hospital stay, urinary retention, wound infection, and seroma were recorded. Patients were followed-up after 1 week, 1 months, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years after operation. Follow-up data included chronic pain, foreign body feeling, affect daily activities, and recurrence.ResultsNinety-nine participants completed follow-up. There were 48 patients in the PG group and 51 participants in the PL group. The operative time of the PG group was significantly shorter than that of the PL group (P=0.045), but there was no significant difference in analgesic used, hospital stay, incidence of urinary retention and wound infection, visual analogue scale (VAS) of wound pain at rest at 1 week postoperatively, VAS of wound pain on coughing at 1 week postoperatively between the two groups (P>0.05). At 1 month after operation, the incidence of foreign body feeling in the PG group was significantly higher than that of the PL group (P=0.031), while there was no significant difference in ratio of VAS≥3 and incidence of affect daily activities (P>0.05). At 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years after operation, there was no significant difference in incidences of foreign body feeling, chronic pain, and affect daily activities between the two groups (P>0.05). There was one recurrence in the PL group and none in the PG group, without a significant difference (P=0.248).ConclusionThe surgical outcomes of self-gripping mesh are comparable to the ordinary polypropylene mesh with a reduced operation time in women’s Lichtenstein hernioplasty.
ObjectiveTo summarize the surgical experience of perineal hernia (PH) repairment after a laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR) with synthetic mesh.MethodsThe clinical data of 4 cases of PH after APR from 2009 to 2015 underwent surgery were analyzed retrospectively. We applied synthetic mesh for the reconstruction of the pelvic floor.ResultsAll of the 4 cases recovered smoothly, with no complication happened. The blood loss during the operation was 50–100 mL, the operative time was 1.0–1.5 hours, the postoperative time of getting out of bed was delayed to 5–7 days after the operation and discharged after 10–14 days. Patients were advised to use transperineal bandages or rigid underpants to lift up the perineum to reduce tension after discharge. No recurrence of perineal hernia or the tumor was found on physical examination and abdominal pelvic CT scan during the 24-month follow-up.ConclusionsIt brings better effect and less trauma after the operation by using transperineal repair of PH with synthetic mesh. We suggest that this technique should probably be the first choice for treating an uncomplicated PH that occurs after a laparoscopic APR.
目的：探讨3D网塞在腹股沟疝修补术中的应用。方法：随机选取30例腹股沟疝患者用3D网塞行无张力疝修补术。结果：本组平均手术时间35 min，平均术中出血15 mL。术后8~24 h下地活动，均未给镇痛药，无手术死亡、无切口感染、阴囊血肿等并发症，患者局部舒适性好，异物感不明显，随访5~10个月，无一例复发。结论：使用3D网塞作为充填式疝修补材料具有手术创伤小、恢复快，患者局部舒适性好，复发率低等优点。
腹壁巨大切口疝的修补是很困难的手术，在一些特殊的病例中，由于患者的全身情况严重恶化使得切口疝无法修补，如年老、病态性肥胖及呼吸功能严重紊乱的患者。近年来，随着生物材料在疝和腹壁外科的广泛应用，对巨大腹壁切口疝的治疗已取得了明显进展。
ObjectiveTo investigate the surgical skills and clinical effects of the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair in treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia with plug prefix mesh. MethodsThe clinical data such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications of 87 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia reoperated in laparoscopic TAPP after inguinal hernioplasty with plug prefix mesh (recurrent hernia group), in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hernia surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2011 to December 2013, were retrospectively analyzed, which were compared with the 834 incipient inguinal hernia patients operated first by TAPP (incipient hernia group) at the same time. ResultsThe operations were completed successfully in all of the 921 patients without conversion to open surgery. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the recurrent hernia group were significantly more than those in the incipient hernia group (P=0.000, P=0.000), the postoperative hospital stay had no signifcant difference between two groups (P=0.057). No recurrences were observed in the recurrent hernia group and incipient hernia group for following-up of (31±4) months and (28±6) months, respectively. Compared with the incipient hernia group, the rates of postoperative pain on day 30 and seroma on day 1 and 3 were higher in the recurrent hernia group (P=0.001, P=0.040, P=0.003, respectively). There were no severe complications such as collateral damage, foreign body sensation, incision infection, intestinal obstruction and so on in the two groups. ConclusionsThe laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair is safe and effective for patients with recurrent inguinal hernia with plug prefix mesh. More skills are required to reduce the complications. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in reoperated patients with recurrent inguinal hernia are more than those in patients with incipient inguinal hernia. The rates of seroma on day 1 and 3 are also higher.
Objective To investigate the application of transverse fascia in inguinal hernia repair. Methods In this study, 617 patients underwent inguinal hernia repair between January 1990 and December 2005 in our hospital were included, which were divided into two groups according to different operative ways: transverse fascia method group (n=337) and Bassini method group (n=280). Then intraoperative results, postoperative complications, and rehabilitated results of patients in two groups were compared. Results Compared with Bassini method group, the patients in transverse fascia method group did not show significant difference in operative time and blood loss during operation (Pgt;0.05). The differences of severe postoperative pain, testicular swelling, the time of the body’s restore for normal activities, and recurrence rate of patients between two groups were significant (Plt;0.05), while the difference of hematoma of scrotum and infection of incisional wound (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The strengthening of posterior wall by transverse fascia and reconstruction of inner ring is a simple and effective method for inguinal hernia repair.
