  • Comparison of Short-term Outcomes and Health Economics of PHS versus UHS for Inguinal Hernia Repair

    Objective To retrospectively compare short-term outcomes and health economics of PHS versus UHS for inguinal hernia repair. Methods We included 105 patients suffering from reducible inguinal hernia hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Lanzhou University from September, 2007 and September, 2012. The referred hernia types involved direct and indirect hernia (unilateral and bilateral). Based on different repair materials, the patients were divided into two groups, PHS group (n=53) and UHS group (n=52). Outcome parameters for comparison included incidences of seroma and scrotum edema, hospital duration, costs, etc. Results There were no differences in age, sex, hernia type, incidences of seroma and scrotum edema after surgery, hospital duration and costs between the two groups. However, the patients in the PHS group spent less money than those in the UHS group regarding the costs of materials and hospitalization, with significant differences. Conclusion For inguinal hernia repair, PHS and UHS are alike in reducing short-term complications, but PHS can significantly reduce patients’ economic burden due to less costs.

  • Comparison of Total Extraperitoneal and Transabdominal Preperitoneal in Laparoscopic Inguinal Herniorrhaphy

    Objective To compare the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP)hernia repair surgery and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair surgery. Methods The clinical data of 95 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic TEP hernia repair surgery (TEP group) and TAPP hernia repair surgery (TAPP group) from Mar. 2010 to Oct. 2013 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and clinical parameters including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative comp-lication, and operation cost of 2 groups were compared. Results All the procedures were successful, none of them was converted to open surgery. There was no significant difference between TEP group and TAPP group when considering operation time 〔(65±16) min vs.(68±17) min〕, intraoperative blood loss 〔(7.0±1.2) mL vs. (8.0±1.4) mL〕, visual pain analogue scale 〔(2.0±1.1) score vs. (1.8±1.1) score〕, postoperative hospital stay 〔(3.1±1.4) d vs. (3.3±1.2) d〕,and time to release to regular activities 〔(4.2±1.0) d vs. (4.5±1.2) d〕, P>0.05. But the operation cost of TEP group was significantly lower than that of TAPP group 〔(8 033±536) yuan vs. (9 632±643) yuan, P=0.007〕. There were 6 atients (6.3%, 6/95) suffered complications, 3 cases in TEP group and 3 cases in TAPP group, including 3 cases of seroma or hematoma in scrotum, 1 case of transient neurapraxia, and 3 cases of urinary retention. There was no signi-ficant difference in incidence rate of postoperative complication between the 2 groups (P=1.000). All patients were followed-up for 1-35 months 〔(20.0±10.2) months〕 without recurrence and chronic pain. Conclusions TEP and TAPP hernia repair surgery are feasible, safe, effective, and minimally invasive technique for inguinal hernioplasty. There are advantages and disadvantages of both TAPP and TEP hernia repair surgery, but there is no statistically significant difference regarding intraoperative and postoperative complications.

  • Laparoscopic Compared with Open Methods of Groin Hernia Repair in Adults: A Systematic Review of Clinical Controlled Trials

    Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of laparoscopic and open tension-free hernia repairs in adults. Methods A fully recursive literature search was conducted in PubMed (2002 to September, 2009), EMBASE (2002 to September, 2009), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 3, 2009), CBM (2002 to September, 2009) , CNKI and VIP Chinese Scientific Journals Full-text Database (2002 to September, 2009) in any language. Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials of inguinal hernia treated by laparoscopic and open methods in adults were considered for inclusion. The four analyzed outcome variables were chronic pain, long term recurrence, intraoperative complications and postoperative complication. Data related to clinical outcomes were extracted by two reviewers independently. Statistical analyses were carried out using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Eighteen published reports of eligible studies involving 5816 participants met the inclusion criteria. Compared with open methods, laparoscopic inguinal hernia had no significant differences in long-term recurrence rate [OR 1.53, 95%CI (1.00 to 2.34), P=0.05] and postoperative complication rate [OR 0.74, 95%CI (0.52 to 1.05), P=0.09], and had lower tendency chronic pain [OR 0.45, 95%CI (0.34 to 0.59) , Plt;0.000 01] with statistical significance. There were significant differences in intraoperative complications between the two groups [OR 2.15, 95%CI (1.32 to 3.53), P=0.002]. Conclusion Current evidence suggests that laparoscopic hernia repair is superior to open methods in chronic pain .There is no significant difference in long-term recurrence rate and postoperative complications between the two methods. More studies are needed for intraoperative complications and other long-term postoperative complications.

  • Application of Nursing Measures Based on the Concept of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery for Patients Undergoing Day Surgery of Inguinal Hernia Repair

    Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nursing measures based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for patients undergoing day surgery of inguinal hernia repair. Methods A total of 120 patients scheduled for day surgery of inguinal hernia repair between January and June 2015 were randomized into ERAS group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Patients in the ERAS group received nursing optimized by the idea of ERAS during the perioperative period, while those in the control group received traditional routine nursing intervention. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, adverse responses, early ambulation, influence of pain on patients’ sleep, satisfaction of the patients and prolonged hospital stay rate were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results VAS scores during hours 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, and 8-12 in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Between hour 12 and 24, the VAS sco res were not significantly different between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). Early postoperative ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, and patients’ satisfaction on pain control and nursing care in the ERAS group were all significantly better than those in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion Based on the concept of ERAS nursing intervention model, we can effectively reduce postoperative complications after inguinal hernia repair, accelerate patients’ postoperative rehabilitation, and increase patients’ satisfaction.

    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.

  • Anatomy of mortis corona vascular and its clinical significances in laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair

    Objective To study anatomy of mortis corona vascular and analyze its characteristics and clinical significances in laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP). Method The clinical data of 45 patients with inguinal hernia underwent laparoscopic TEP from July 2013 to October 2015 in the Fourth People’s Hospital of Zigong City were collected. Results ① There were 45 patients with inguinal hernia a total of 52 bilateral inguinal hernias (15 direct hernias, 37 oblique hernias). The total appear rate of corona mortis vascular was 61.5% (32/52). The appear rate of corona mortis artery was significantly higher than that of the corona mortis vein〔46.2% (24/52)versus 34.6% (18/52),P<0.05〕, the diameter of the corona mortis artery was significantly smaller than that of the corona mortis vein〔(3.2±0.3) mmversus (3.4±0.4) mm,t=2.231,P<0.05〕. ② The appear rates of corona mortis artery and vein in the male patients were significantly higher than those of the female patients (P<0.05). Compared with the female patients, the age of onset was older (P<0.05), thickness of abdominal wall was thinner (P<0.05), diameter of corona mortis vascular was bigger (P<0.05) in the male patients. ③ The total appear rate of corona mortis vascular in the patients with direct hernia was significantly lower than that of the patients with oblique hernia (P<0.05). The age of onset of the patients with direct hernia was significantly older than that of the patients with oblique hernia (P<0.05). Conclusions There is a higher appear rate of corona mortis vascular in patients with oblique hernia, which in male patients is higher as compared with female patients. Age of onset of male patient with inguinal hernia is older than that of female patient with inguinal hernia. It suggests that appear of corona mortis vascular might be associated with degeneration of abdominal wall. It has a certain role for localization and avoidance of corona mortis vascular in TEP.
