Objective To compare the safety, effectiveness, and stability of 3D Max lightweight patch and standard patch in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) herniorrhaphy. Methods The clinical data of 147 patients who underwent laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy with 3D Max from May 2013 to May 2014 in this hospital were collected. Of all the patients, the lightweight patches were used in 75 patients (observation group), the standard patches were used in 72 patients (control group). The mean operative time, mean early postoperative ambulation time, mean bleeding volume, postoperative pain, postoperative foreign body sensation, complications, average hospital stay, and average costs were compared between these two groups. The postoperative pain point was determined by using visual analogue scale (VAS). The foreign body sensation of postoperative groin area was determined basing on the pain point. Results There were no significant differences in the terms of the mean operation time, the mean early postoperative ambulation time, the mean bleeding volume, the average costs, and the average hospital stay between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). On postoperative 2 d, the pain point of the observation group was slightly lower than that of the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference between these two groups (P=0.132); On postoperative 1 month and 6 months, the postoperative pain points of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P=0.031, P=0.018). There was no recurrence of hernia and complications in the two groups. Conclusions The cost of 3D Max lightweight patch in laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy application is slightly higher than that in standard patch, but it could alleviate postoperative pain, reduce postoperative foreign body sensation, and make patients feel more comfortable. It is safe, effective, and stable in clinical application of laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy.
