Simultaneous repair of bilateral inguinal hernias: a prospective, randomized study of open, tension-free versus laparoscopic approach

No randomized trial exists that specifically addresses the issue of laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair. The purpose of the present prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical study was to assess short- and long-term results when comparing simultaneous bilateral hernia repair by an open, tension-free anterior approach with laparoscopic "bikini mesh" posterior repair. Forty-three low-risk male patients with bilateral primary inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to undergo either laparoscopic preperitoneal "bikini mesh" hernia repair (TAPP) or open Lichtenstein hernioplasty. There was no difference in operating time between the two groups. The mean cost of laparoscopic hernioplasty was higher (P < 0.001). The intensity of postoperative pain was greater in the open hernia repair group at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days after surgery (P < 0.001), with a greater consumption of pain medication among these patients (P < 0.05). The median time to return to work was 30 days for the open hernia repair group and 16 days for the laparoscopic "bikini mesh" repair group (P < 0.05). Only 1 asymptomatic recurrence (4.3%) was discovered in the open group. The laparoscopic approach to bilateral hernia with "bikini mesh" appears to be preferable to the open Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty in terms of the postoperative quality of life and interruption of occupational activity.     

Repair of inguinal hernias using the mesh technique during extraperitoneal pelvic lymph node dissection.

PURPOSE: This article describes our experience of using a totally extraperitoneal approach for endoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy and inguinal hernia repair with the mesh technique in one procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 52 patients underwent modified pelvic lymph node dissection for the staging of prostate cancer. Eight of them had hernia defects; 1 was recurrent. Five patients with direct and 3 patients with indirect inguinal hernias were treated by totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with the placement of a mesh measuring at least 10 x 15 cm (prolene mesh with incision and flap). RESULTS: The mean duration of the lymphadenectomy itself was decreased from 150 min (first 20 patients) to 70 min (n = 21-52). The mean additional procedure time for hernioplasty was 15 min. The overall lymph node-positive rate was 9.6%. The complication rate was 7.7%. Four patients developed symptomatic lymphoceles, 1 of whom developed deep venous thrombosis. No complications occurred which were attributed to hernia repair. Morbidity did not rise, and hospitalization time did not increase for the patients who underwent hernioplasty. There were no recurrences or neuralgias on follow-up up to 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: By avoiding entry into the peritoneal cavity, the extraperitoneal approach obviates intra-abdominal complications (ileus, bowel injury, peritonitis) in both techniques. The extraperitoneal approach for pelvic lymph node dissection allows concomitant inguinal hernia to be repaired with low morbidity and within an acceptable operating time.     

Ambulatory inguinal hernia repair with prolene hernia system (PHS)

Study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and benefits of inguinal hernia repair with prolene hernia system (PHS) mesh under local anaesthesia as a day surgery procedure in a multinational society of United Arab Emirates. One hundred and seventy-eight inguinal hernias in 172 consecutive adults of whom 154 (89.5%) fitted the criteria of inclusion in the day-case surgery settings were operated upon including one early recurrence. Conversion from local to general anaesthesia was required in five (2.8%) patients. The mean operation time was 65 min, including the anaesthesia injection. The mean hospital stay was 2.1 days for all patients and 1.01 days for those who fitted in the ambulatory surgery program. Inguinal hernia repair using the PHS technique under local anaesthesia could be mastered by many of the surgeons in our hospital with minimal morbidity and short hospital stay with a potential to lessen recurrence.     

Tension-free hernioplasty of recurrent inguinal hernia under local anaesthesia: a 5-year review

The aim of this study was to describe the tension-free hernioplasty of recurrent inguinal hernia under local anaesthesia via the anterior approach, in order to evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of local anaesthesia and its outcome in terms of hernia recurrence and chronic inguinal pain. The effects of hernia type, type of anaesthesia, comorbid disease and complications on recurrence and chronic inguinal pain were analysed. Fifty-nine procedures were performed electively on 56 adult patients. Local anaesthesia was used in all patients. In 4 patients (7%) a shift from local to general anaesthesia became necessary to conclude the procedure due to intra-operative pain. Three cases (5%) with a bilateral inguinal hernia were treated at the same time. Thirty-five (59%) recurrences were repaired with the technique proposed by Lichtenstein, 13 cases (22%) with the dynamic self-regulating (P.A.D.) system, and 11 cases (19%) with a plug repair. After a median follow-up of 96 months there was only 1 recurrence (1.6%) and 1 case of chronic inguinal pain (1.6%). We conclude that use of local anaesthesia is indicated in recurrent inguinal hernia not only for its simplicity, safety and lasting postoperative analgesia, but especially for the lack of potentially detrimental cardiovascular effects observed with general anaesthesia.     

Central rupture and bulging of low-weight polypropylene mesh following recurrent incisional sublay hernioplasty

A recurrent incisional hernia resulting from the rupture of low-weight polypropylene mesh is rarely reported in the literature. Three patients with recurrent incisional hernia due to low-weight polypropylene mesh central rupture were operated 5, 7 and 13 months after initial sublay hernioplasty. The posterior myofascial layer was fully reconstructed in all patients during the hernioplasty, whereas the anterior myofascial layer was only partially reconstructed. The recurrent hernia was managed using heavy-weight polypropylene mesh; in two patients, a new sublay hernioplasty was performed and in one patient an “open preperitoneal flat mesh technique” was performed under local anaesthesia as a day case procedure. If closing of the anterior myofascial layer cannot be ensured during the incisional hernioplasty, the use of low-weight polypropylene meshes should be avoided; preference should be given to the heavy-weight polypropylene meshes.

Umbilical hernia in adults

Background: There is no consensus on the best technique for the repair of umbilical hernia in adults. The role of laparoscopic hernioplasty of umbilical hernia remains controversial. This study was undertaken to compare the outcomes of open and laparoscopic onlay patch repair of umbilical hernia in adults. Methods: From January 1996 to December 2002, 102 patients underwent elective repair of umbilical hernia. Operative techniques included Mayo repair (n = 43), laparoscopic onlay Gore-Tex patch hernioplasty (n = 26), suture herniorrhaphy (n = 24), and mesh hernioplasty (n = 9). Results: Demographic features and risk factors were similar among the four groups. The operative time of laparoscopic hernioplasty (median, 66 min) was significantly longer than those for patients who underwent Mayo repair (60 min) or sutured herniorrhaphy (50 min) (p < 0.05). None of the patients who underwent laparoscopic patch repairs required conversion to open repair. The median pain score at rest on postoperative day 1 was significantly lower in patients who underwent laparoscopic repair compared to those who had Mayo repair. A significantly shorter hospital stay and a lower wound morbidity rate were also observed in patients who underwent laparoscopic repair. With a mean follow-up of 2 years, suture herniorrhaphy had a relatively high recurrence rate (8.7%), whereas no recurrence was documented for the other techniques. Conclusions: Laparoscopic onlay patch hernioplasty is a safe and efficacious technique for the repair of umbilical hernia. Compared to Mayo repair, the laparoscopic approach confers the advantages of reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and a diminished morbidity rate.

Concurrent radical retropubic prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair through a modified Pfannenstiel incision

OBJECTIVE: To describe a technique for concurrent radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) and inguinal hernioplasty, using a modified Pfannenstiel incision. PATIENTS AND METHODS: RRP is usually done through a midline lower abdominal incision but some patients with localized prostate cancer have an inguinal hernia. Concurrent inguinal hernia repair at the time of RRP with the usual method is only possible by either a preperitoneal mesh repair or formal hernioplasty, requiring an additional incision(s). A 10-12 cm Pfannenstiel incision is made along the pubic hairline centred over the pubic symphysis, and a 'Y'-shaped incision in the rectus sheath. The rectus muscle is split vertically along the midline, followed by RRP. After removing the prostate and completing the anastomosis, the surgeon identifies the inguinal canal along the inferior and lateral aspect of the transverse incision and uses a formal tension-free hernioplasty with a 3 x 5 cm polypropylene mesh. We used this technique in fifteen concurrent inguinal hernioplasties (two bilateral hernias and thirteen unilateral) at the time of RRP, with no additional incisions, using the formal tension-free Lichtenstein technique. One patient with bilateral hernias had a right indirect inguinal hernia, and all the remaining men had a direct inguinal hernia. RESULTS: All patients were discharged 2 days after surgery, with no complications associated with the procedure and no recurrences; however, the follow-up was short (mean 5.5 months). CONCLUSION: A modified Pfannenstiel incision is ideal for concurrent RRP and inguinal hernioplasty, providing excellent exposure of the pelvic structures and allowing the surgeon to use a formal tension-free mesh hernioplasty through the same incision. Wound healing and cosmetic results are excellent.

Extraperitoneal prosthesis repair in the surgical treatment of inguinal hernias

The authors analyse the current state of the art of the prosthetic repair of incisional hernia and the problems involved in positioning the prosthesis, comparing their own experience with the most recent literature. From January 1994 to June 2001, 50 patients were operated on for incisional hernia (28 males and 22 females); 12% had recurrent or re-recurrent incisional hernias. Defects smaller than 3 cm were repaired with a polypropylene plug; a double-layer polypropylene mesh placed in a preperitoneal position was used for defects measuring from 3 to 5 cm; in defects greater than 5 cm a double-layer mesh was placed behind the muscle layer. Fifteen patients were operated on under local anaesthesia. Only 22% required postoperative analgesia. The mean hospital stay was 3.95 days. Only 3 recurrences (6%) were recorded. On the basis of our experience it seems appropriate to repair incisional hernias when of small size, preferably under local anaesthesia, avoiding opening the hernia sac, using an extraperitoneal approach with an overlap technique that employs polypropylene.

Inguinal hernia repair with polypropylene mesh during radical retropubic prostatectomy: an easy and practical approach

OBJECTIVE: To report the results of the simultaneous inguinal hernia repair during radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) with the preperitoneal tension-free Stoppa technique, using a polypropylene mesh. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During 855 consecutive RRPs, 40 (5%) patients (median age 66.9 years, range 52-81) with 49 inguinal hernias had a simultaneous inguinal hernioplasty. The RRP was performed according to the Walsh modified technique. After the prostate and seminal vesicles were removed and the urethrovesical anastomosis completed, a polypropylene mesh of maximum size 15 x 7.5 cm and a small slit on its medial side was then created and placed in the preperitoneal space, embracing the spermatic cord and covering the myopectinal orifice. Preoperative risk factors, e.g. constipation, pulmonary disease or urinary obstructive symptoms, were collected retrospectively from the files. Complications after surgery, including wound infection, pelvic collections, urinary fistula and recurrence of the hernia, were assessed. RESULTS: Preoperative risk factors for hernia development were identified in 23 (58%) patients; three had recurrent hernias. With a median 23.1 months of follow-up period two (4%) hernias recurred. There were no complications after surgery. CONCLUSION: Preperitoneal hernia repair with polypropylene mesh is safe, effective and practical. The procedure simultaneous with RRP gave a 96% success rate and with no significant increase in operating time or additional complications.     

Randomized controlled trial comparing prolene hernia system and lichtenstein method for inguinal hernia repair

BACKGROUND: There are no data regarding the long-term outcomes of prolene hernia system (PHS) mesh in the published reports. The aim of the study was to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of the PHS mesh with the Lichtenstein mesh technique. METHODS: Sixty-four patients with inguinal hernia were randomized to undergo either a PHS or a Lichtenstein repair under local anaesthesia as a day case. Early outcome measures were duration of surgery, pain scores, analgesic requirements, time to return to work, driving and full activity. Long-term outcome measures were chronic groin pain and recurrence. RESULTS: Mean duration of surgery in the PHS group was 36 min (SD +/- 11) versus 34 min in the Lichtenstein group (SD +/- 8; P = 0.3). There was no significant difference in analgesic requirements (P = 0.65). Overall mean pain score was 3.5/10 versus 2.5/10 (P = 0.1). Mean time to return to work was 42 versus 30 days (P = 0.3), returning to driving was 20 versus 14 days (P = 0.2) and full activity was 21 versus 22 days (P = 0.8). Chronic groin pain developed in four patients in the PHS group (12.9%) and in five patients in the Lichtenstein group (15.1%; P > 0.05). One patient developed recurrent herniation in the PHS group. The median follow up was 4.2 years (range, 4-4.6 years). Patient satisfaction was very high with both the techniques. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference in the early and long-term outcomes between PHS and Lichtenstein hernia repairs. The PHS technique involving preperitoneal dissection is well tolerated and easy to carry out under local anaesthesia.     

Surgical treatment of primary acquired inguinal hernia with the use of polypropylene prosthesis

In the "Villa dei Fiori" Nursing Home of Mugnano di Napol, from 1 November 1997 to 31 October 2000, 384 patients were operated on for primary acquired inguinal hernia. They underwent hernioplasty using a polypropylene prosthesis, accounting for 14.1% of all general surgery operations performed. The patients operated on were 345 males and 39 females, with an average age of 53.4 years (range: 16-91 years). All patients were routinely subjected to ultra-short-term prophylaxis with antibiotics for surgical infections. In 211 cases, the operations were performed under local anaesthesia (in 5 of these, owing to poor tolerance of surgical manipulation associated with a state of agitation, the patients also received intraoperative pharmacological sedation in 3 cases, while a neuroleptoanalgesia technique was performed in the other 2); 93 cases were performed under general anaesthesia and 80 cases under subarachnoid anaesthesia. In 21 cases, the inguinal hernioplasty was associated with other operations, most commonly with crural hernioplasty for the treatment of a crural hernia on the same side as the inguinal hernioplasty. We had no intraoperative complications. Postoperative complications occurred in 15 cases (3.9%), 11 of which caused by surgical problems and 4 linked to the anaesthesia technique. Long-term follow-up after surgery, though fairly short on average, was carried out in 265 patients (69% of those operated on), and to date only one relapse has been observed.
