  • Application of Transverse Fascia in Inguinal Hernia Repair

    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.

  • Important Role of Preperitoneal Space in Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal and Totally Extraperitoneal Hernia Repair

    Objective To explore the important role of preperitoneal space in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair. Methods The clinical data of 66 patients (78 sides) performed laparoscopic TAPP and TEP hernia repair from January 2008 to April 2011 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results TAPP hernia repair were performed in 16 cases (20 sides),TEP hernia repair were performed in 50 cases (58 sides). Three cases of TEP hernia repair transferred to TAPP hernia repair. The unilateral operation time was (86.92±36.38) min,intraoperative bleeding was (6.08±3.43) ml. Postoperative complication rate was 16.7% (11/66),including 3 cases of postoperative serum swelling,3 cases of temporary paraesthesia of nerve feeling in the repair area,2 cases of scrotum emphysema,2 cases of urinary retention,and 1 case of intestinal obstruction. There were 2 cases of recurrence. The hospital stay was (4.52±0.99) d. The return to activities and working time was (10.32±1.86) d after discharge. Sixty-six cases were followed up for (18.56±1.96) months (range 1-38 months),the patch infection,chronic pain,and testicular atrophy complications were not been observed. Conclusions Acquainting and mastering laparoscopic preperitoneal space and its important structure are the key to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

  • Comparative Analysis of Local Anaesthesia and Epidural Anaesthesia in Tension-Free Herniorrhaphy

    Objective To investigate the most suitable anaesthesia method for the tension-free herniorrhaphy.Methods A total of 422 unilateral inguinal hernia cases from 2002 to 2005 were collected and randomly divided into the local anaesthesia group and epidural anaesthesia group. Observation indices and some relative data, such as operative duration, date of ambulation, date of foodintake, length of hospital stay, operation-correlated complications, anaesthesia complications, usage rate of ancillary drug, satisfactory rate for anesthesia, cost of hospitalization, were included and recorded in the questionnaire, and all the patients who took the tension-free herniorrhaphy were asked to answer it as the follow-up research. Results It was found that the occurrence of postoperative anaesthetic complications, the cost of hospitalization, length of stay of local anaesthesia group were significantly less than those of epidural anaesthesia group, and the date of moving and the date of foodintake were also significantly earlier than those of the other group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference of operative duration, postoperative recovery situation and the satisfactory rate between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion The local anaesthesia is suitable for most of the tension-free herniorrhaphy, and it may be used as the conventional anaesthetic method.

  • Comparison of Short-term Outcomes and Health Economics of PHS versus UHS for Inguinal Hernia Repair

    Objective To retrospectively compare short-term outcomes and health economics of PHS versus UHS for inguinal hernia repair. Methods We included 105 patients suffering from reducible inguinal hernia hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Lanzhou University from September, 2007 and September, 2012. The referred hernia types involved direct and indirect hernia (unilateral and bilateral). Based on different repair materials, the patients were divided into two groups, PHS group (n=53) and UHS group (n=52). Outcome parameters for comparison included incidences of seroma and scrotum edema, hospital duration, costs, etc. Results There were no differences in age, sex, hernia type, incidences of seroma and scrotum edema after surgery, hospital duration and costs between the two groups. However, the patients in the PHS group spent less money than those in the UHS group regarding the costs of materials and hospitalization, with significant differences. Conclusion For inguinal hernia repair, PHS and UHS are alike in reducing short-term complications, but PHS can significantly reduce patients’ economic burden due to less costs.

  • REPAIRING OF INGUINAL SCAR CONTRACTURE DEFORMITY IN CHILDREN WITH TRANSPOSITIONAL FASCIOCUTANEOUS FLAP

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the repairing method of inguinal scar contracture deformity in children with transpositional fasciocutaneous flap of anterior-medial side of thigh. METHODS: From August 1989 to August 1999, 33 cases with inguinal scar contracture deformity were adopted in this study. Among them, there were 26 males and 7 females, aged from 3 to 11 years old. The transpositional fasciocutaneous flap consisted of a huge tongue-shape flap with a pedicled triangular flap between the edge of skin defect and the above tongue-shape flap. The maximal size of the transpositional fasciocutaneous flap was 18 cm x 10 cm and the minimal size was 13 cm x 8 cm, the transpositional angle was 60 degrees to 80 degrees. During operation, the tongue-shape flap was used to repair the inguinal region and the triangular flap was used to repair the donor site in one stage. RESULTS: All the flaps survived. The function and appearance of perineum were satisfactory. CONCLUSION: The transpositional fasciocutaneous flap is suitable for repairing the inguinal scar contracture deformity in children, and skin graft is unnecessary.

  • Application of Nursing Measures Based on the Concept of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery for Patients Undergoing Day Surgery of Inguinal Hernia Repair

    Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nursing measures based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for patients undergoing day surgery of inguinal hernia repair. Methods A total of 120 patients scheduled for day surgery of inguinal hernia repair between January and June 2015 were randomized into ERAS group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Patients in the ERAS group received nursing optimized by the idea of ERAS during the perioperative period, while those in the control group received traditional routine nursing intervention. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, adverse responses, early ambulation, influence of pain on patients’ sleep, satisfaction of the patients and prolonged hospital stay rate were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results VAS scores during hours 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, and 8-12 in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Between hour 12 and 24, the VAS sco res were not significantly different between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). Early postoperative ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, and patients’ satisfaction on pain control and nursing care in the ERAS group were all significantly better than those in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion Based on the concept of ERAS nursing intervention model, we can effectively reduce postoperative complications after inguinal hernia repair, accelerate patients’ postoperative rehabilitation, and increase patients’ satisfaction.

  • Efficacy Comparison of 3D Max Lightweight Patch and Standard Patch in Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Herniorrhaphy

    ObjectiveTo compare the safety, effectiveness, and stability of 3D Max lightweight patch and standard patch in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) herniorrhaphy. MethodsThe clinical data of 147 patients who underwent laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy with 3D Max from May 2013 to May 2014 in this hospital were collected. Of all the patients, the lightweight patches were used in 75 patients (observation group), the standard patches were used in 72 patients (control group). The mean operative time, mean early postoperative ambulation time, mean bleeding volume, postoperative pain, postoperative foreign body sensation, complications, average hospital stay, and average costs were compared between these two groups. The postoperative pain point was determined by using visual analogue scale (VAS). The foreign body sensation of postoperative groin area was determined basing on the pain point. ResultsThere were no significant differences in the terms of the mean operation time, the mean early postoperative ambulation time, the mean bleeding volume, the average costs, and the average hospital stay between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). On postoperative 2 d, the pain point of the observation group was slightly lower than that of the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference between these two groups (P=0.132); On postoperative 1 month and 6 months, the postoperative pain points of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P=0.031, P=0.018). There was no recurrence of hernia and complications in the two groups. ConclusionsThe cost of 3D Max lightweight patch in laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy application is slightly higher than that in standard patch, but it could alleviate postoperative pain, reduce postoperative foreign body sensation, and make patients feel more comfortable. It is safe, effective, and stable in clinical application of laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy.
