Abstract
Background and objectives: Modified anterior preperitoneal (mAPP) repair for inguinal hernia (IH) was compared with Lichtenstein repair (LR) and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repairs.
Methods: IH patients, after exclusions and subsequent matching for age, type, and extent of hernia, were assigned randomly for mAPP, LR or TAPP repair. The same surgical team performed all operations. Data of predefined endpoints for all the three groups were statistically compared.
Results: One hundred thirty-five patients underwent mAPP, 91 patients LR, and 181 patients TAPP. The operating time for both unilateral and bilateral hernias in the mAPP group was significantly shorter than in LR and TAPP groups. mAPP patients were discharged in significantly less time than LR patients but later than TAPP patients. Postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score at 24 hours in the mAPP patients was significantly less than LR but at 48 hours the difference was equivocal. But VAS score after mAPP at 24 and 48 hrs was more than in TAPP patients. However, the pain score across all the three groups was similar at 7 days. There was no surgical site infection (SSI) or mesh infection in any patient. Chronic postoperative inguinal pain was seen less often after mAPP than after LR but was least in TAPP patients. Recurrence across all the three groups was not much different.
Conclusion: mAPP appears to be a better choice for open IH repair than LR and matches the advantages of Laparoscopic repairs.
期刊介绍:
JSLS, Journal of the Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons publishes original scientific articles on basic science and technical topics in all the fields involved with laparoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive surgery. CRSLS, MIS Case Reports from SLS is dedicated to the publication of Case Reports in the field of minimally invasive surgery. The journals seek to advance our understandings and practice of minimally invasive, image-guided surgery by providing a forum for all relevant disciplines and by promoting the exchange of information and ideas across specialties.
