Objective To observe the effect of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) laparoscopic hernia repair by same-day surgery mode for patients with inguinal hernia. Methods The patients who underwent TAPP laparoscopic hernia repair were retrospectively collected in the Day Surgery Center of West China Tianfu Hospital from July 2022 to June 2023. All patients in this study were admitted according to the same-day surgery plan, and those who were admitted to the hospital on the same day, operated on the same day, and returned to their homes on the same day, i.e., those who did not stay in the hospital overnight (the same-day surgery plan of the West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University is now basically in the range of 8∶00–20∶00, and the latest discharge is at 21∶00) were classified as the same-day surgery group; however, the patients whose special cases needed to be postponed due to the condition of their illnesses, or those who were discharged from the hospital after 21∶00 due to safety considerations because of other reasons such as postoperative observation of patients with general anesthesia for a period of less than 2–4 h, or those who had a strong desire to be admitted to the hospital overnight, and whose hospital stay was not more than 24 h, were classified as the non-same-day surgery group. The age, gender, marital status, body mass index, hernia type, surgical site, home address, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, total hospitalization cost, pain score at discharge, unplanned revisit rate within 30 d after surgery, discharge satisfaction were compared between the patients of two groups. Results A total of 167 patients underwent TAPP laparoscopic hernia repair were enrolled in this study, including 97 in the same-day surgery group and 70 in the non-same-day surgery group. There were no statistically significant differences in the age, gender, marital status, body mass index, hernia type, surgical site, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, and total hospitalization cost between the two groups (P>0.05). However, it was found that the patients in the non-same-day surgery group had a higher pain score at discharge and a higher proportion of home address outside Chengdu city as compared with the same-day surgery group (P=0.042, P<0.001, respectively); The satisfaction rate of all patients in this group was 100% on the 28th day after discharge, and the unplanned revisit rate within 30 d after surgery was 3.6% (6/167), although which in the same-day surgery group was slightly higher than the non-same-day surgery group, the difference was not statistically significant by Fisher test [4.1% (4/97) versus 2.9% (2/70), P=0.226]. Conclusion From the analysis results of this study, TAPP laparoscopic hernia repair for patients with inguinal hernia by the same-day surgery mode is safe, and it can further shorten the hospitalization time as compared with the non-same-day surgery.
