Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of spigelian hernia.

BACKGROUND: A Spigelian hernia is a congenital defect in the transversus aponeurosis fascia. Traditionally, an anterior hernioplasty was used to repair these defects. This study aimed to document our experience with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for Spigelian hernia. METHODS: Eight patients underwent laparoscopic transabdominal Spigelian hernia repair. All patients underwent creation of a peritoneal flap, sac dissection, identification and approximation of the fascial defect, mesh reinforcement, and reperitonealization. RESULTS: All patients presented with pain. An intermittent palpable mass was noticed in 4 patients. One third of the patients had undergone prior surgery and none had an incisional hernia. Only 1 patient presented with severe pain for 1 day; however, there was no bowel strangulation intraoperatively. All patients underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair. No postoperative complications occurred. There have been no recurrences at a mean follow-up of 41 months (range, 8 to 96). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of Spigelian hernia is safe, easy, and feasible for experienced laparoscopic surgeons.     

Laparoscopic repair of incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia with mesh

Diaphragmatic hernias are now being approached laparoscopically. Incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia poses a special problem due to concerns about contamination. We describe a laparoscopic repair of such a hernia with the use of prosthetic mesh.     

Laparoscopic repair of an incarcerated obturator hernia

Obturator hernia is a rare cause of bowel obstruction. Occurring primarily in elderly women, it has a high incidence of incarceration and a high mortality rate. This report describes the successful laparoscopic reduction and repair of an incarcerated obturator hernia. Using open laparoroscopy, an incarcerated obturator hernia was diagnosed intraoperatively. After laparoscopic reduction, a transabdominal preperitoneal repair was completed using polypropylene mesh. The patient recovered uneventfully with no recurrence at 6 months. Laparoscopic techniques have been successfully applied to diagnose, reduce, and repair an incarcerated obturator hernia.     

Laparoscopic transperitoneal procedure for routine repair of groin hernia

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic transperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) repair of inguinal hernias is thought to be a difficult surgical technique with high complication rates. The present study evaluated TAPP based on prospective documentation. METHODS: The primary aim of the study was analysis of the individual learning curve, comparing consultants with trainees. Secondary endpoints included postoperative morbidity, time of disability and rate of recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 8050 TAPP repairs have been performed since 1993. By 2001, 99.9 per cent of all hernia repairs were done by TAPP. The median operation time dropped from 50 min in the first 600 cases to 42 min thereafter. The morbidity rate decreased from 9.3 to 2.6 per cent, and the rate of recurrence from 4.8 to 0.4 per cent. Within the same interval the proportion of training procedures increased from 1.7 to 44.9 per cent in 2001. Morbidity and recurrence rates were similar for trainees and consultants. CONCLUSION: TAPP is an effective and safe technique. It can be performed in a standard way for all inguinal and femoral hernias. The present results indicate that TAPP is possible in a routine setting, as well as in the training situation for young surgeons.

Acute management of a unilateral incarcerated spigelian hernia in a patient with bilateral spigelian hernias

Spigelian hernias were first described by Joseph Klinkosch in the 18th century, and have since posed a diagnostic and surgical problem owing to their non-specific presentation and rarity. While the management of unilateral hernias is fairly well described in today’s literature, bilateral Spigelian hernias are very rare. We describe the emergency management of a patient with bilateral Spigelian hernias, diagnosed on computed tomography.     

Mesh-free laparoscopic spigelian hernia repair

Varied Spigelian hernia mesh repair techniques have been described, although evidence suggests laparoscopy results in less morbidity and shorter hospitalization compared with open procedures. Laparoscopic suture repair of Spigelian hernias is rarely reported. Two patients with small Spigelian hernias (< or =2 cm) were diagnosed and repaired laparoscopically using a transabdominal suture technique. Under laparoscopic guidance, a suture-passer was used to place two or three transfacial, interrupted 0 polypropylene sutures along the horizontal plane of the defect. Sutures were tied extracorporeally and closure was confirmed laparoscopically. These cases spurred a review of world literature (2001-2007) including clinical characteristics, operative techniques, and urgency of operations in Spigelian hernia patients. Data were compared using Fisher's exact test. One year postoperatively, the patients are without sequelae or recurrence. Literature review demonstrated most patients were females (P < 0.001), ranged in age from 60 to 80 years (P = 0.042), and presented with left-sided hernias (P = 0.026). Open mesh repair (182/392 cases; 47%) was the most common technique; however, increasingly articles describe laparoscopic mesh repair. Mesh-free laparoscopic suture repair is feasible and safe. This novel uncomplicated approach to small Spigelian hernias combines the benefits of laparoscopic localization, reduction, and closure without the morbidity and cost associated with foreign material.     

腹腔镜经腹腹膜前疝修补术联合腹股沟区小切口在腹股沟疝治疗中的应用

目的探讨腹腔镜经腹腹膜前疝修补术（TAPP）联合腹股沟区小切口治疗难复性及嵌顿性腹股沟疝患者的临床疗效。 方法回顾性分析2016年1月至2019年4月,常熟市第二人民医院62例一期行疝修补手术的单侧难复性或嵌顿性腹股沟疝患者的临床资料,其中行腹股沟区小切口联合TAPP修补术患者16例,行TAPP修补术患者21例,行开放无张力修补术患者25例。 结果TAPP联合腹股沟区小切口组与TAPP组住院时间、手术时间、切口并发症、排尿困难及睾丸坏死发生率等方面比较,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）;而在住院费用及术后阴囊/会阴肿胀发生率方面比较,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。TAPP联合腹股沟区小切口组与开放组比较,在住院时间、术后切口并发症发生率及排尿困难发生率比较,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）;而在住院费用、手术时间、其他术后并发症发生率比较,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。 结论TAPP联合腹股沟区小切口治疗难复性或嵌顿性腹股沟疝行可缩短住院时间或减少术后并发症的发生,值得在临床中应用推行。     

Laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair of incarcerated obturator hernia and contralateral direct inguinal hernia

Most cases of obturator hernia are diagnosed during surgery for treatment of acute small bowel obstruction resulting from incarceration. We present the case of a patient with incarcerated obturator hernia that was correctly diagnosed by computed tomography preoperatively. Laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair of the incarcerated obturator hernia and a contralateral direct inguinal hernia found incidentally was successfully performed.     

Laparoscopic repair of a spigelian hernia: a case report and literature review.

BACKGROUND: We present a case in which laparoscopy was both diagnostic and therapeutic in a patient with a spigelian hernia. CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old man was referred to the General Surgery Service for evaluation of right lower quadrant abdominal pain of approximately 6 months. The pain was not disabling but was a constant discomfort. The patient did not have any significant past medical or surgical history, and the physical examination was significant only for an area of focal tenderness in the right lower quadrant. Ultrasound and CT scans of the patient's abdomen were unremarkable. A laparoscopic exploration of the area revealed a defect in the area of semilunar and semicircular lines consistent with a spigelian hernia. The patient underwent a laparoscopic herniorrhaphy with placement of a polypropylene mesh. CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the role of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of spigelian hernias.     

Laparoscopic intraperitoneal polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) prosthetic patch repair of ventral hernia

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether laparoscopic intraperitoneal polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) prosthetic patch (LIPP) repair of a ventral hernia is superior to open prefascial polypropylene mesh (OPPM) repair in a tertiary care university hospital in an urban environment. Methods: Data on 39 consecutive patients undergoing either LIPP repair (n= 21) or OPPM repair (n= 18) were compared. Results: Findings showed that LIPP repair is characterized by less painful recovery and shorter hospital stay, with 90% of patients treated successfully as outpatients as compared with 7% in the OPPM group. The total facility costs for the LIPP repair ($8,273 ± $2,950) was significantly lower than for the OPPM repair ($12,461 ± $5,987) (p < 0.05). Two serious delayed complications in the LIPP group were treated by reoperation (colocutaneous fistula, mesh infection), but the higher readmission costs in this group did not negate the overall cost advantage for LIPP repair. In the follow-up evaluation, 1 hernia recurrence was found in the LIPP repair group, and none in the OPPM group. Conclusions: Initial experience suggests that LIPP repair has advantages over OPPM repair in terms of decreased hospitalization, postoperative pain, and disability. Refinements in the technique to reduce complications may make LIPP repair the procedure of choice for repair of ventral hernias. Received: 5 June 1998/Accepted: 15 October 1999     

Laparoscopic approach to incarcerated inguinal hernia

The safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic treatment for incarcerated inguinal hernia have not been clarified. Six patients who underwent laparoscopic reduction and repair of incarcerated inguinal hernias were reviewed retrospectively. All operations were initiated within 1 h after establishment of the diagnosis. Laparoscopically, the incarcerated small-bowel segments could be easily returned to the abdominal cavity by a combination of pulling them with Babcock forceps while pushing back the bowels from outside the abdominal wall. The hernial portals were not cut in three patients, while they were dissected in the other three. All incarcerated bowels were congested and red immediately after reduction; however, their color returned to normal during hernia repair and unnecessary bowel resection was therefore avoided. The mean operation time was 88 min. Although one patient underwent laparotomy because of the suspicion of necrosis of the incarcerated inguinal hernia, which was finally found to be due to postoperative paralytic ileus, the postoperative courses of the remaining five were uneventful. Laparoscopic reduction and repair of incarcerated inguinal hernia was useful, and unnecessary bowel resection could be avoided. Received: 9 February 1996/Accepted: 20 May 1996     

Laparoscopic repair of bilateral spigelian and inguinal hernias

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair by the hook method in emergency setting in children presenting with incarcerated inguinal hernia

Background

The development of laparoscopic hernia repair has provided an alternative approach to the management of incarcerated inguinal hernia in children. Different laparoscopic techniques for hernia repair have been described. However, we hereby review the role of laparoscopic hernia repair using the hook method in the emergency setting for incarcerated inguinal hernias in children.

Methods

A retrospective review was conducted of all children who presented with incarcerated inguinal hernia and underwent laparoscopic hernia repair using the hook method in emergency setting between 2004 and 2010.

Results

There were a total of 15 boys and 1 girl with a mean age of 30 ± 36 months (range, 4 months to 12 years). The hernia was successfully reduced after sedation in 7 children and after general anesthesia in 4 children. In 5 children, the hernia was reduced by a combined manual and laparoscopic-assisted approach. Emergency laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using the hook method was performed after reduction of the hernia. The presence of preperitoneal fluid secondary to recent incarceration facilitated the dissection of the preperitoneal space by the hernia hook. All children underwent successful reduction and hernia repair. The median operative time was 37 minutes. There was no postoperative complication. The median hospital stay was 3 days. At a median follow-up of 40 months, there was no recurrence of the hernia or testicular atrophy.

Conclusions

Emergency laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair by the hook method is safe and feasible. Easier preperitoneal dissection was experienced, and repair of the contralateral patent processus vaginalis can be performed in the same setting.
