Objective To investigate the most suitable anaesthesia method for the tension-free herniorrhaphy.Methods A total of 422 unilateral inguinal hernia cases from 2002 to 2005 were collected and randomly divided into the local anaesthesia group and epidural anaesthesia group. Observation indices and some relative data, such as operative duration, date of ambulation, date of foodintake, length of hospital stay, operation-correlated complications, anaesthesia complications, usage rate of ancillary drug, satisfactory rate for anesthesia, cost of hospitalization, were included and recorded in the questionnaire, and all the patients who took the tension-free herniorrhaphy were asked to answer it as the follow-up research. Results It was found that the occurrence of postoperative anaesthetic complications, the cost of hospitalization, length of stay of local anaesthesia group were significantly less than those of epidural anaesthesia group, and the date of moving and the date of foodintake were also significantly earlier than those of the other group (P＜0.05). However, there was no significant difference of operative duration, postoperative recovery situation and the satisfactory rate between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The local anaesthesia is suitable for most of the tension-free herniorrhaphy, and it may be used as the conventional anaesthetic method.
ObjectiveTo compare degree and characteristics of early postoperative pain for patients with inguinal hernia underwent laparoscopic versus open tension-free hernioplasty. MethodsThe clinical data of 120 patients who underwent tension-free hernioplasty from July 2013 to June 2015 were analyzed. All of the patients were divided into open tension-free hernioplasty group (open group, n=60) and laparoscopic tension-free hernioplasty group (laparoscope group, n=60). Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was evaluated at different time point. Results① Within 12 h after operation, the comparison of total VAS score between the laparoscope group and the open group had no significant difference (F=1.674, P=0.198), the difference of VAS score in these two groups was significantly different at each time point (F=21.186, P=0.000), and the variation tendency was influenced by grouping factors (F=87.038, P=0.000). ② Within 7 d after opera-tion, the differences of comparison of total VAS score between the laparoscope group and the open group and at each time point were statistically significant (F=46.358, P=0.000; F=576.387, P=0.000) and had a downtrend, further more the variation tendency was influenced by grouping factors (F=19.454, P=0.000). ③ The composition ratios of pain site and characteristics had significant differences between these two groups within 7d after operation (χ2=10.108, P=0.001; χ2=7.144, P=0.028), the dosage of analgesic drugs between two groups had no significant difference (t=0.872, P=0.386). ConclusionAs a representative of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic technology has certain advantages in reducing postoperative pain for patients with inguinal hernia, but minimally invasive technique does not mean to painless. Further improvement is needed by hernia surgery.
Objective To summarize the cl inical effect of allogenic acellular dermal matrix in repair of abdominal wall hernia and defect. Methods The cl inical data were analyzed retrospectively from 31 patients with abdominal wall hernia and defect repaired by allogenic acellular dermal matrix between March 2007 and November 2009. There were 19 males and 12females with an age range of 10-70 years (median, 42 years), including 6 abdominal wall defects caused by abdominal wall tumor resection, 4 patchs infection after abdominal wall hernia repair using prosthetic mesh, 2 incisional hernia, 1 parastomal hernia, 1 recurrent parastomal hernia receiving mesh repair, 1 mesh infection caused by parastomal hernia repair using prosthetic patch, 3 mesh infection caused by tension free inguina after hernia repair, and 13 inguinal hernia. There were 12 patients with contaminated or infectious wound. The disease duration was from 1 to 34 months (6 months on average). The defect size of abdominal wall ranged from 6 cm × 4 cm to 19 cm × 10 cm. Abdominal wall hernia or defect underwent repair using allogenic acelluar demall matrix. Results Of the 31 patients, 29 patients recovered with primary wound heal ing. Chronic sinus tract occurred in 1 patient and the wound was cured by change dressing. Wound dehiscence and patch exposure occurred in 1 patient, and second heal ing was achieved after change dressing. All the 31 patients were followed up 6-36 months, no abdominal wall hernia or hernia recurrence occurred in other patients except 1 patient who had abdominal bulge. And no foreign body sensation or chronic pain in wound area occurred. Conclusion It is feasible and safe to use allergenic acellular dermal matrix patch for repair of abdominal wall hernia or soft tissue defect, especially in contaminated or infectious wound.
ObjectiveTo summarize the changes of inguinal hernia in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in the past 7 years and the curative effect of each procedure.MethodsRetrospectively searched the clinical data of 1 078 patients with inguinal hernia operated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2011 to December 2017. According to the surgical procedure, patients were divided into tissue repair group, laparoscopic hernia repair group (laparoscopic group), and open tension-free hernia repair group (open group). Subsequently, the patients of the open group were divided into the mesh plug technique group, the plain patch technique group, and the Ultrapro Hernia System (UHS) group. The postoperative of each procedure, such as recurrence, chronic pain, foreign body sensation, hard touch of the surgical site, male sexual function, and fertility status were compared.ResultsIn 1 078 patients, 52 patients underwent tissue repair, 889 patients underwent open tension-free hernia repair (687 patients were counted with mesh-seal tablets, 100 patients with plain patch count, 102 patients with preperitoneal hernia repair), and 137 patients underwent laparoscopic hernia repair. There was no significant difference in the incidence of total complication, chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and male sexual function decline in the laparoscopic group and the open group (P>0.05). However, the recurrence rate and hard touch of the surgical site rate of the laparoscopic group were lower (P<0.05), and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score was also slightly lower (P=0.047). There was no significant difference in the incidence of the recurrence, chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and male sexual function decline between the three subgroups of the open group, but the total complication rate and hard touch of the surgical site rate in the UHS group were lower than those in the mesh plug group and the plain patch group (P<0.05).ConclusionsLaparoscopic repair of the inguinal herniorrhaphy has lower incidence of occurrence, it is worthy of clinical promotion. In the open tension-free surgery, the retroperitoneal herniorrhaphy may be a better choice.
Objective To explore the cause and treatment of chronic pain after tension-free repair of inguinal hernia. Methods 〗The clinical data of 426 cases with inguinal hernia underwent the tension-free hernioplasty during February 2002 to September 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results 〗Tension-free hernioplasty was performed to all patients. According to operative methods, they were divided into two groups: polypropylene filling group (n=210) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) mycromesh group (n=216). The chronic pain rate after operation, polypropylene filling group (9.0%, 19/210) was significantly higher than e-PTFE mycromesh group (4.2%, 9/216)， P＜0.05. Conclusion 〗The tension-free repair by e-PTFE mycromesh has less pain in the inguinal hernia due to the material is more suitable to human physiology, more soft and light, with less complications.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of inguinal hernia treated by tension-free hernioplasty in adult. Methods Electronic databases were searched including CNKI (1993 to 2003), MEDLINE (1993 to 2003) and OVID (1993 to 2003). Personal contact with experts in the field of tension-free hernioplasty was performed to identify potentially relevant trials. Randomized controlled trials of plug amp; Mesh versus Mesh only repair and laparoscopic versus open Mesh hernia repair in recurrence, peri-operative complication or long term postoperative complication were included. Data related to the clinical outcome were extracted by two reviewers independently. Statistical analysis was performed by using RevMan 4.2 software. Results Twenty one studies involving 4 154 patients met the inclusion criteria from 1993 to 2003. Compared with Mesh only repair, plug amp; Mesh repair had no significant difference in recurrence rate (OR 1.14, 95%CI 0.37 to 3.47, P=0.82), preoperative complication rate (OR 1.01, 95%CI 0.63 to 1.63, P=0.95) and long term postoperative complication rate (OR 0.46, 95%CI 0.18 to 1.16, P=0.1). Compared with open Mesh hernioplasty, transabdominal preperitoreal repair (TAPP) group had no significant difference in recurrence rate (OR1.24, 95%CI 0.65 to 2.36, P=0.52), preoperative complication rate (OR 0.89, 95%CI 0.65 to 1.22, P=0.46) and persistent pain (OR 0.76, 95%CI 0.48 to 1.19, P=0.22); totally extrapevitoreal repair (TEP) group had no significant difference in recurrence rate (OR1.07, 95%CI 0.51 to 2.24, P=0.70) or persistent pain (OR 0.95, 95%CI 0.55 to 1.65, P=0.86), and had lower tendency persistent pain (OR 0.50, 95%CI 0.34 to 0.73, P=0.000 4) with statistical significance. Conclusion Current evidence suggests that there is no significant difference between anterior approach plug amp; Mesh repair (Rutkow’s repair) and the Mesh only repair (Lichtenstein’s repair). TEP of Laparoscopic hernioplasty is superior to open Mesh hernia repair in preoperative complication. More researches are needed for recurrence rate, persistent pain.
