Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of laparoscopic vs conventional inguinal hernia repairs

Background: Despite randomized controlled trials, the merits of laparoscopic hernia repair remain poorly defined. A meta-analysis may provide a timely overview. Methods: An electronic MEDLINE search, supplemented by a manual search, yielded 14 randomized controlled trials with usable statistical data, involving 2,471 patients. The trials were grouped for separate meta-analyses according to the control operation, either a tension-free or sutured repair, used for comparison. The effect sizes for operating time, postoperative pain, return to normal activity, and early recurrence were calculated, using a random-effects model when the effect sizes were heterogeneous and without subcategories. Results: In all meta-analyses, the laparoscopic operation was significantly longer. When compared with tension-free repairs, the laparoscopic operation showed no advantage in terms of postoperative pain, but resulted in a shorter recovery (marginal significance). As compared with sutured repair, both postoperative pain and recovery were in favor of the laparoscopic operation. When all 14 trials were analyzed together, laparoscopic repairs still had moderately reduced postoperative pain and recovery time. Conclusions: Laparoscopic hernia repair has a modest advantage over conventional repairs. This advantage is more apparent when laparoscopic repairs are compared with sutured repairs rather than tension-free repairs. Received: 9 June 1998/Accepted: 12 January 1999     

Laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair

Background: The role of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is controversial. The aim of this study was to find out whether it is justified to switch from the predominantly modified Bassini repair which the authors had been using to laparoscopic repair. Methods: Randomized controlled trial in 120 eligible patients admitted for elective hernia repair in a university hospital. Results: Sixty patients underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal mesh repair; the other 60 patients had an open repair, mostly with the modified Bassini technique. Operative time for laparoscopic repair was significantly longer, mean (s.d.) 95 (28) min vs 67 (27) min (p < 0.001). The mean analogue pain score during the first 24 h after surgery was 36.2 (20.2) in the laparoscopic group and 49.3 (24.9) in the open group (p= 0.006). The requirement for narcotic injections and postoperative disability in walking 10 m and getting out of bed were also significantly less following laparoscopic repair. The postoperative hospital stay was not significantly different, mean 2.6 (1.2) days for laparoscopic repair and 3.0 (1.5) days for open repair (p= 0.1). Patients were able to perform light activities without pain or discomfort sooner after laparoscopic repair, median interquartile range 8 (5–14) days vs 14 (8–19) days (p= 0.013). Patients also resumed heavy activities sooner, but not significantly, after laparoscopic repair, median 28 (17–60) days vs 35 (20–56) days (p= 0.25). The return to work was not significantly different, median 14 (8–25) days after laparoscopic repair and 15 (11–21) days after open repair (p= 0.14). After a mean follow-up of 32 months one patient developed a recurrent hernia 3 months after a laparoscopic repair. Laparoscopic repair was more costly than open repair by approximately $400. Conclusions. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair was associated with less early postoperative pain and disability and earlier return to full activities than open repair, but there were no benefits regarding postoperative hospital stay and return to work; laparoscopic repair was also more costly.

Comparison of laparoscopic and open tension-free repair of recurrent inguinal hernias: a prospective randomized study

Background The current prospective randomized controlled clinical study aimed to assess the short- and long-term results of recurrent inguinal hernia repair, and to compare the results for transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) procedures with those for open tension-free repair. Methods For this study, 82 patients were randomly assigned to undergo TAPP (group A, n = 24), TEP (group B, n = 26), or open Lichtenstein hernioplasty (group C, n = 32). All the patients with recurrent inguinal hernias had undergone previous repair using conventional open procedures. Physical examination showed Nyhus type II hernia in the vast majority of the patients (59%). High-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiology [ASA] III or IV); coagulation disorders; previous abdominal or pelvic surgery; and irreducible, congenital, and massive scrotal or sliding hernias were excluded from the study. Results There was a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) in operating time favoring the open procedure. The intensity of postoperative pain was greater in the open hernia repair group 24 h, 48 h, and 7 days after surgery (p = 0.001), with a greater consumption of pain medication among these patients (p < 0.004). The median time until return to work was 14 days for group A, 13 days for Group g, and 20 days for group C. The comparison was in favor of laparoscopically treated patients. Nine recurrences (4 in the laparoscopic groups and 5 in the open group) were documented within 3 years of follow-up evaluation. Conclusion Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP or TEP) is the method of choice for dealing with recurrent inguinal hernia.     

A case controlled study of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair

Background: Although the feasibility of laparoscopic incisional herniorrhaphy has been demonstrated, its advantages over the open technique are still unproven. Methods: Fourteen consecutive laparoscopic incisional hernia repairs were compared with 14 matched controls of the open repair done by the same surgeon at the same institution. The controls were selected by a medical record technician not connected with the study. The cases were selected to match diagnoses, ASA status, and body weight as closely as possible. The outcome data for operating time, blood loss, hospitalization, resumption of oral intake, and postoperative complications were analyzed for statistically significant differences. Results: There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the parameters of blood loss, hospital days, or days to oral intake. The laparoscopic operation took 40% longer. Similar complications were seen in both groups. No mortality or early recurrences occurred in either group. Conclusion: Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair of at least moderate complexity had no demonstrable advantage over the open repair in the present study.

【摘要】〓目的〓比较腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补与开放性腹股沟疝修补的优缺点。方法 对2012年5月~2013年5月中山市中医院240例成人腹股沟疝修补术进行回顾性分析,其中开放性疝修补术(开腹疝修补组)148例,腹腔镜疝修补术(腔镜疝修补组)92例。收集两组患者的手术时间、住院时间、住院费用、术后复发、术后慢性疼痛、术后阴囊积液及术后感染的临床资料并进行比较。 结果 开腹疝修补组患者在平均手术时间、平均住院费用少于腔镜疝修补(P均<0.01);开腹疝修补组术后复发(3例)、术后慢性疼痛(11例)、术后阴囊积液(2例)及术后感染(1例)等总并发症高于腔镜疝修补组(P<0.05);两组的平均住院时间差异无统计学意义。结论 腔镜组腹股沟疝修补术具有较少的术后并发症,但在住院时间、住院费用方面没有优势。     

Perioperative outcomes and complications of open vs laparoscopic extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair in a mature surgical practice

Background: Although the laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach to hernia repair has been associated with less pain and a faster postoperative recovery than traditional open repair, many practicing surgeons have been reluctant to adopt this technique because of the lengthy operative times and the learning curve for this procedure. Methods: Data from all patients undergoing TEP repair since 1997 and open mesh repair (OPEN) since 1999 were collected prospectively. Selection of surgical approach was based on local hernia factors, anesthetic risk, previous abdominal surgery, and patient preference. Statistical analyses were performed using unpaired t-tests and chi-squared tests. Data are mean ± SD. Results: TEP repairs were performed in 147 patients and open repairs in 198 patients. Patients in the OPEN group were significantly older (59 ± 19 years OPEN vs 51 ± 13 years TEP) and had a higher ASA (1.9 ± 0.7 OPEN vs 1.5 ± 0.6 TEP; p < 0.01). TEP repairs were more likely to be carried out for bilateral (33% TEP, 5% OPEN) or recurrent hernias (31% TEP, 11% OPEN) than were open repairs (p < 0.01). Concurrent procedures accompanied 31% of TEP and 12% of OPEN repairs (p < 0.01). Operative times (min) were significantly shorter in the TEP group for both unilateral (63 ± 22 TEP, 70 ± 20 OPEN; p = 0.02) and bilateral (78 ± 27 TEP, 102 ± 27 OPEN; p = 0.01) repairs. Mean operative times decreased over time in the TEP group for both unilateral and bilateral repairs (p < 0.01). Patients undergoing TEP were more likely (p < 0.01) to develop urinary retention (7.9% TEP, 1.1% OPEN), but were less likely (p < 0.01) to have skin numbness (2.8% TEP, 35.8% OPEN) or prolonged groin discomfort (1.4% TEP, 5.3% OPEN). Conclusions: Despite a higher proportion of patients undergoing bilateral repairs, recurrent hernia repair, and concurrent procedures, operative times are shorter for laparoscopic TEP repair than for open mesh repair. TEP repairs can be performed efficiently and without major complications, even when the learning curve is included.

Stapled and nonstapled laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair

Background: Controversy exists regarding whether it is necessary to secure the mesh prosthesis during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair. It is unknown whether stapling the mesh affects recurrence rate, incidence of neuralgia, or port-site hernia. Methods: We conducted a prospective randomized trial comparing stapled with nonstapled laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repairs in a series of 502 consecutive patients undergoing elective inguinal hernia repair at two institutions between January 1995 and March 1997. Results: In all, 263 nonstapled and 273 stapled repairs were performed in 502 patients. Patients were evaluated at a median follow-up of 16 months (range, 1–32 months) by independent surgeons. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of recurrence (0 to 263 nonstapled, 3 to 273 stapled; chi-square p= 0.09). The overall recurrence rate was 0.6%. There was no significant difference in operative time, port-site hernia, chronic pain or neuralgia between the two groups. Conclusion: It is not necessary to secure the mesh during laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair, allowing a reduction in the size of the ports.

腹腔镜经腹膜前腹股沟疝修补术中残端疝囊处理方式对术后血清肿影响的前瞻性研究

目的探讨腹腔镜经腹膜前腹股沟疝修补术(TAPP)术中残端疝囊处理方式对术后血清肿的影响。方法采用前瞻性研究方法。选取2017年10月至2019年3月福建医科大学附属协和医院收治的128例男性原发性腹股沟斜疝患者的临床资料。采用随机数字表法将患者分为两组,患者行TAPP,术中疝囊剥离及横断后将残端缝合固定于腹直肌下缘,设为试验组;患者行TAPP,术中疝囊剥离及横断后将残端游离于腹腔,设为对照组。观察指标:(1)手术情况。(2)随访情况。采用门诊和电话方式进行随访,了解患者术后血清肿、切口感染、慢性疼痛、疝复发情况。随访时间截至2019年6月。正态分布的计量资料以±s表示,组间比较采用t检验。偏态分布的计量资料以M(范围)表示,组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验。计数资料以绝对数表示,组间比较采用χ2检验。结果筛选出符合条件的男性患者128例;平均年龄为61岁,年龄范围为47~74岁。128例患者中,试验组60例,对照组68例。(1)手术情况:试验组和对照组患者手术时间分别为(102±34)min和(97±30)min,住院费用分别为(12813±2390)元和(12125±2205)元,两组患者上述指标比较,差异均无统计学意义(t=0.907,1.685,P>0.05)。(2)随访情况:128例患者均获得随访。试验组和对照组术后发生血清肿分别为8例和8例,两组比较,差异无统计学意义(χ2=0.072,P>0.05)。试验组术后发生血清肿患者抽液量为20 mL(4~31 mL),对照组术后发生血清肿患者抽液量为43 mL(23~98 mL),两组比较,差异有统计学意义(Z=-2.013,P<0.05)。试验组和对照组发生血清肿患者术后3个月均无切口感染、慢性疼痛、疝复发。结论TAPP术中疝囊横断后将残端缝合固定于腹直肌下缘和将残端游离于腹腔均能有效修补腹股沟斜疝。疝囊横断后将残端缝合固定于腹直肌下缘可减少术后血清肿抽液量。     

Laparoscopic repair of recurrent inguinal hernias after endoscopic herniorrhaphy

Background: Although the recurrence rate for endoscopic herniorraphy is low (0–3%), it is still debatable whether these recurrences should be corrected laparoscopically or by the conventional method. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these recurrences can be repaired by means of the laparoscopic approach with acceptable complication and recurrence rates. Methods: From October 1992 to December 1997, 34 patients with recurrent inguinal hernias at physical examination underwent surgery at our institutions. All the recurrences occurred following endoscopic inguinal hernia repair with mesh prostheses. The recurrences were repaired endoscopically using a transabdominal approach. Depending on the size of the defect, a new polypropylene mesh was used. Results: Mean surgery time was 69 min. There were no conversions to the anterior approach. After a mean follow-up of 35 months, no recurrences had been diagnosed. Conclusion: The transabdominal preperitoneal approach is a reliable technique for recurrent inguinal hernia repair after previous endoscopic herniorrhaphy.

A simplified laparoscopic technique for mesh placement in ventral hernia repair

The use of a large synthetic mesh for laparoscopic repair of significant ventral abdominal wall defects may be accompanied by technical difficulties resulting from improper orientation and positioning of the mesh over the defect. We suggest a technique based on initial fixation of the mesh center to the central point of the defect, and subsequent centrifugal attachment of the mesh to the abdominal wall. This technique is advantageous because it leads to precise orientation and positioning of the synthetic patch and to significant reduction of the time needed for its reinforcement over and around the defect.

腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补术对男性患者术后疼痛和生殖功能影响的前瞻性随机对照研究

目的探讨腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补术手术对患者术后疼痛情况及生殖功能的影响。 方法选择2016年1月至2017年10月在新疆医科大学第一附属医院肝脏·腹腔镜外科进行腹腔镜手术治疗的150例男性腹股沟患者。按照数字表法,随机分为腹腔镜经腹腹膜前疝修补术（TAPP）组和腹腔镜完全腹膜外疝修补术（TEP）组,每组75例。观察和比较2组患者的手术指标、疼痛、精液质量、复发和并发症发生情况。手术时间、术后住院时间、术中出血量、术后疼痛时间、住院费用、疼痛数字评分（NRS）、腹股沟疼痛调查问卷评分（IPQ）、精液质量均为计量资料,使用均数±标准差（ ±s）表示,组内比较使用配对t检验,组间比较使用独立样本t检验。复发及并发症发生均为计数资料,使用频数表示,采用卡方检验进行比较。 结果TEP组患者的手术时间、术后住院时间、术中出血量、术后疼痛时间、住院费用均与TAPP组相比,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）;术后1年TEP组患者的α-葡萄糖苷酶（α-Glu）、果糖（Fru）及酸性磷酸酶（ACP）水平均高于TAPP组,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）;术后2组患者的NRS评分、IPQ评分、并发症发率和术后1年复发率的比较,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。 结论经腹腹膜前疝修补术和完全腹膜外疝修补术治疗腹股沟疝具有相同的安全性,尽管两种术式对男性精液中α-Glu、Fru及ACP水平影响存在差异,但对男性患者生殖功能并无明显影响。     

Endoscopically guided percutaneous repair of inguinal hernia through a 2-cm incision

Background: The laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia is still controversial. Transabdominal preperitoneal repair violates the peritoneal cavity and may result in visceral injuries or intestinal obstruction. The laparoscopic extraperitoneal approach has the disadvantage of being technically demanding and requires extensive extraperitoneal mobilization. The Lichtenstein repair gives good long-term results, is easy to learn, can be performed under local anesthesia, but requires a larger incision. Methods: We describe a novel percutaneous tension-free prosthetic mesh repair performed through a 2-cm groin incision. The inguinal canal is traversed with the aid of a 5-mm video-endoscope and the canal is widened using specially designed balloons. Spermatic cord mobilization, identification and excision of the indirect sac, and posterior wall repair are carried out under endoscopic guidance. Results: Between October 1993 and July 1995, 85 primary inguinal hernia repairs (48 indirect and 33 direct) were performed on 81 patients (80 men, one woman) by the author (A.D.). The mean age was 41 years (range 17–83 years). Six repairs were performed under local anesthetic. Mean operative time was 42 min (range 25–74). Mean hospital stay was 1.2 days (0–3 days). The mean return to normal activity was 8 days (2–10 days). Eight complications have occurred: a serous wound discharge, two scrotal hematomas, a scrotal swelling that resolved spontaneously, wound pain lasting 2 weeks, an episode of urinary retention, and two recurrences early in the series (follow-up 1–22 months). Conclusion: The endoscopically guided percutaneous hernia repair avoids the disadvantages of laparoscopy (i.e., lack of stereoscopic vision, reduced tactile feedback, unfamiliar anatomical approach, risk of visceral injury), yet the use of endoscopic instrumentation allows operation through a 2-cm incision. The minihernia repair thus combines the virtues of an open tension-free repair with minimal access trauma. Received: 21 May 1996/Accepted: 8 August 1996     

A unified approach to recurrent laparoscopic hernia repairs

BACKGROUND: The problem of recurrence after laparoscopic hernia repair is relatively new, and the best way to handle it remains uncertain. The question of whether an open approach, a laparoscopic approach, or some combination of techniques should be preferred has not yet been resolved. The purpose of this study was to determine if the laparoscopic approach could deal with the problem safely and successfully. METHODS: A retrospective review was done of the cases performed at the Center for Hernia Repair by one surgeon between July 1991 and September 1999. Laparoscopic hernioplasties for hernias that had previously been repaired laparoscopically were analyzed. All remedial repairs were begun using a transabdominal approach. RESULTS: Seventeen of 1960 hernias repaired were for failed laparoscopic repairs. Ten were repaired totally laparoscopically and two via an open approach with mesh, while five required a small anterior counterincision. There were no serious complications and one recurrence. CONCLUSION: The laparoscopic transabdominal approach to failed laparoscopic repairs is feasible, safe, and reliable when used in combination with a modified anterior approach when appropriate.     

Nerve irritation after laparoscopic hernia repair

Background: Between October 1992 and May 1996, 893 hernia repairs were performed at the Surgical Clinic in Mannheim: 448 (50%) using laparoscopy (TAPP-method) and 445 (50%) using the conventional anterior approach (Shouldice). Materials and methods: For this study, 723 (81%) of these repairs were followed up in a prospective trial of postoperative nerve irritations. Results: The rate of nerve entrapment in the laparoscopic group was 4.2% (n= 19), and in the group that underwent conventional surgery 1.8% (n= 8). The genitofemoral nerve was affected with particularly high frequency (2%), and the ilioinguinal nerve and lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LCNT) each was affected in 1.1% of the cases. Conclusions: Reduction in the number of clips used and careful attention to the anatomic nerve course during preparation and placement of mesh led to a significant reduction in the occurrence of nerve irritations. In the last 100 patients who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair, only one nerve lesion was seen. Received: 27 January 1998/Accepted: 14 January 1999

Transabdominal preperitoneal versus totally extraperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia: a meta-analysis of randomized studies

Background

The aim of the present study was to comparatively evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair and totally extraperitoneal repair.

Methods

The electronic databases of Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched, and a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials was undertaken.

Results

Seven studies comprising 516 patients with 538 inguinal hernia defects were identified. A shorter recovery time (P = .02) was found for totally extraperitoneal repair in comparison with transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (weighted mean difference = −.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], −.71 to .07) although the length of hospitalization (P = .89) was similar in the 2 treatment arms (weighted mean difference = .01; 95% CI, −.13 to .15). Operative morbidity (P = .004) was higher for the preperitoneal approach (odds ratio = 2.15; 95% CI, 1.29 to 3.61). No differences were found with regard to the incidence of recurrence, long-term neuralgia, and operative time.

Conclusions

Current evidence suggests similar operative results for endoscopic and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, with a trend toward higher morbidity for the preperitoneal approach. Randomized trials with a longer-term follow-up are needed in order to assess the effect of each approach on the prevention of recurrence.     

县级医院开放式无张力疝修补术与腹腔镜疝修补术的临床研究

目的探讨开放无张力修补术与腹腔镜疝修补术在县级医院应用中的临床效果。 方法回顾性分析2016年1月至2017年12月,清河县中心医院连续收治的行成人腹股沟疝手术218例患者的临床资料,分为开放组（Lichtenstein无张力疝修补术）102例,腹腔镜下腹股沟疝修补术（laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair,TAPP）组116例。统计2组患者一般资料、手术资料、术后并发症等方面数据,并进行对比分析。 结果患者中位数随访时间为651 d,开放组和TAPP组均未出现感染或复发的病例。开放组与TAPP组尿潴留发生率分别为7例（6.9%）、8例（6.9%）,差异无统计学意义（P=0.799）;开放组术后出现血清肿情况12例（11.8%）、TAPP组25例（21.6%）,差异有统计学意义（P=0.042）;开放组应用止痛药物情况25例（24.5%）、TAPP组4例（3.4%）,差异有统计学意义（P=0.009）;恢复日常活动中位数时间均为4 d,差异有统计学意义（P=0.026）;开放组中位数手术时间为50 min、TAPP组70 min,差异有统计学意义（P<0.001）;开放组住院中位数花费为4 225元、TAPP组为7 425元,差异有统计学意义（P<0.001）;开放组无慢性疼痛发生,TAPP组发生慢性疼痛2例（2.0%）,差异有统计学意义（P=0.001）。 结论开放手术和腹腔镜下腹股沟疝修补术在县级医院开展均能取得较好临床效果,但开展腹腔镜疝修补应经过专业培训的基础上,加强同上级医院的联系,谨慎开展。
