Objective To investigate the application of transverse fascia in inguinal hernia repair. Methods In this study, 617 patients underwent inguinal hernia repair between January 1990 and December 2005 in our hospital were included, which were divided into two groups according to different operative ways: transverse fascia method group (n=337) and Bassini method group (n=280). Then intraoperative results, postoperative complications, and rehabilitated results of patients in two groups were compared. Results Compared with Bassini method group, the patients in transverse fascia method group did not show significant difference in operative time and blood loss during operation (Pgt;0.05). The differences of severe postoperative pain, testicular swelling, the time of the body’s restore for normal activities, and recurrence rate of patients between two groups were significant (Plt;0.05), while the difference of hematoma of scrotum and infection of incisional wound (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The strengthening of posterior wall by transverse fascia and reconstruction of inner ring is a simple and effective method for inguinal hernia repair.
Objective To evaluate the clinical experience and skills of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a balloon dissection in order to spread and popularize this kind of operation. Methods Under general anesthesia, 32 patients (42 sides) with inguinal hernias were repaired by laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a dissection balloon from August 2005 to December 2007. Results All of operations were successfully performed. The operative time was 60-120 minutes, the blood loss was 20-60 ml, and the length of postoperative hospitalization was 3 days. All cases were followed up for 8 to 18 months and found no recurrence. Conclusion Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a balloon dissection is feasible, reliable and effective, offering a low recurrence rate, while its price is higher than tension-free herniorrhaphy by traditional method.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of abdominal preperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair with 3DMax patch and plain film for treatment of inguinal hernia. MethodsThe clinical and follow-up survey data of 120 patients with inguinal hernia in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, between January 2009 and May 2014, which were treated by laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred and twenty cases were divided into two groups:plain film group (45 cases) and 3DMax group (75 cases) according to the intraoperative use of different patchs. The patches of 3DMax group were not fixed, the patches of plain film group were fixed with metal nails. The postoperative clinical effect of two groups were analyzed. ResultsThe operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative hospitalization days of two groups were no statistical significance (P > 0.05). The postoperative off bed activity time of patients in 3DMax group and plain film group was (20.2±8.1) h and (26.3±9.2) h, respectively, the average off bed activity time in 3DMax group was significantly earlier than that in plain film group (P=0.041). The material expenses and hospitalization expenses of the 3DMax group were significantly lower than those of the plain film group (P=0.001, P=0.038). The incidence of foreign body sensation of inguinal region in 1, 3, and 9 months after operation of 3DMax group were lower than those of plain film group (P=0.045). The VAS score in 1 and 3 months after operation of 3DMax group were lower than those of plain film group (P < 0.05), but there was no statistically significant in 6 months after operation of 2 groups (P > 0.05). There was no recurrence case in two groups. ConclusionsThe use of 3DMax patch in laparoscopic TAPP operation have more simple operation, hospitalization expenses decreased, recovery faster, postoperative inguinal nerve pain and foreign body sensation more lighter, and complications more less. It is worthy of clinical popularization and Application.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) laparoscopic hernia repair by same-day surgery mode for patients with inguinal hernia. MethodsThe patients who underwent TAPP laparoscopic hernia repair were retrospectively collected in the Day Surgery Center of West China Tianfu Hospital from July 2022 to June 2023. All patients in this study were admitted according to the same-day surgery plan, and those who were admitted to the hospital on the same day, operated on the same day, and returned to their homes on the same day, i.e., those who did not stay in the hospital overnight (the same-day surgery plan of the West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University is now basically in the range of 8∶00–20∶00, and the latest discharge is at 21∶00) were classified as the same-day surgery group; however, the patients whose special cases needed to be postponed due to the condition of their illnesses, or those who were discharged from the hospital after 21∶00 due to safety considerations because of other reasons such as postoperative observation of patients with general anesthesia for a period of less than 2–4 h, or those who had a strong desire to be admitted to the hospital overnight, and whose hospital stay was not more than 24 h, were classified as the non-same-day surgery group. The age, gender, marital status, body mass index, hernia type, surgical site, home address, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, total hospitalization cost, pain score at discharge, unplanned revisit rate within 30 d after surgery, discharge satisfaction were compared between the patients of two groups. ResultsA total of 167 patients underwent TAPP laparoscopic hernia repair were enrolled in this study, including 97 in the same-day surgery group and 70 in the non-same-day surgery group. There were no statistically significant differences in the age, gender, marital status, body mass index, hernia type, surgical site, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, and total hospitalization cost between the two groups (P>0.05). However, it was found that the patients in the non-same-day surgery group had a higher pain score at discharge and a higher proportion of home address outside Chengdu city as compared with the same-day surgery group (P=0.042, P<0.001, respectively); The satisfaction rate of all patients in this group was 100% on the 28th day after discharge, and the unplanned revisit rate within 30 d after surgery was 3.6% (6/167), although which in the same-day surgery group was slightly higher than the non-same-day surgery group, the difference was not statistically significant by Fisher test [4.1% (4/97) versus 2.9% (2/70), P=0.226]. ConclusionFrom the analysis results of this study, TAPP laparoscopic hernia repair for patients with inguinal hernia by the same-day surgery mode is safe, and it can further shorten the hospitalization time as compared with the non-same-day surgery.
Objective To explore the risk factors of chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP), establish and verify the risk prediction model, and then evaluate the prediction effectiveness of the model. Methods The clinical data of 362 patients who received TAPP surgery was retrospectively analyzed and divided into model group (n=300) and validation group (n=62). The risk factors of CPIP in the model group were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the risk prediction model was established and tested. Results The incidence of CPIP at 6 months after operation was 27.9% (101/362). Univariate analysis showed that gender (χ2= 12.055, P=0.001), age (t=–4.566, P<0.01), preoperative pain (χ2=44.686, P<0.01) and early pain at 1 week after operation (χ2=150.795, P<0.01) were related to CPIP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, preoperative pain, early pain at 1 week after operation, and history of lower abdominal surgery were independent risk predictors of CPIP. The area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the risk prediction model was calculated to be 0.933 [95%CI (0.898, 0.967)], and the optimal cut-off value was 0.129, while corresponding specificity and sensitivity were 87.6% and 91.5% respectively. The prediction accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of the model were 91.9% (57/62), 90.7% and 94.7%, respectively when the validation group data were substituted into the prediction model. Conclusion Female, age≤64 years old, preoperative pain, early pain at 1 week after operation and without history of lower abdominal surgery are independent risk factors for the incidence of CPIP after TAPP, and the risk prediction model established on this basis has good predictive efficacy, which can further guide the clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo summarize the changes of inguinal hernia in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in the past 7 years and the curative effect of each procedure.MethodsRetrospectively searched the clinical data of 1 078 patients with inguinal hernia operated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2011 to December 2017. According to the surgical procedure, patients were divided into tissue repair group, laparoscopic hernia repair group (laparoscopic group), and open tension-free hernia repair group (open group). Subsequently, the patients of the open group were divided into the mesh plug technique group, the plain patch technique group, and the Ultrapro Hernia System (UHS) group. The postoperative of each procedure, such as recurrence, chronic pain, foreign body sensation, hard touch of the surgical site, male sexual function, and fertility status were compared.ResultsIn 1 078 patients, 52 patients underwent tissue repair, 889 patients underwent open tension-free hernia repair (687 patients were counted with mesh-seal tablets, 100 patients with plain patch count, 102 patients with preperitoneal hernia repair), and 137 patients underwent laparoscopic hernia repair. There was no significant difference in the incidence of total complication, chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and male sexual function decline in the laparoscopic group and the open group (P>0.05). However, the recurrence rate and hard touch of the surgical site rate of the laparoscopic group were lower (P<0.05), and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score was also slightly lower (P=0.047). There was no significant difference in the incidence of the recurrence, chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and male sexual function decline between the three subgroups of the open group, but the total complication rate and hard touch of the surgical site rate in the UHS group were lower than those in the mesh plug group and the plain patch group (P<0.05).ConclusionsLaparoscopic repair of the inguinal herniorrhaphy has lower incidence of occurrence, it is worthy of clinical promotion. In the open tension-free surgery, the retroperitoneal herniorrhaphy may be a better choice.
