Abstract: | Purpose We evaluated the long-term outcome and symptoms after inguinal hernia repair using the Prolene Hernia System (PHS).
Methods We reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent PHS surgery at our hospital to assess the postoperative complications
and recurrence rates. Late symptoms were evaluated by a standardized interview using a questionnaire.
Results A total of 395 hernias in 367 patients were studied. Postoperative complications developed after 20 repairs (5.1%), including
a severe mesh infection in one patient. Seven (1.8%) patients suffered recurrence. Of 395 cases, 363 (91.9%) responded to
the interview. After a median follow-up interval of 19.3 months (range 1.0–55.8), moderate pain and moderate discomfort were
reported by only 1.9% and 0.8% of patients, respectively.
Conclusions Prolene Hernia System surgery is a safe and feasible procedure with low rates of complication, recurrence, and late symptoms. |
