Abstract

Purpose: To develop a surgical endoscopy technique for closing the defect of direct inguinal hernia and evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel suture in the early postoperative period.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled single-center study was conducted at Yudin State Clinical Hospital (Moscow) from February to August 2024. We enrolled 142 male patients over 18 with newly diagnosed direct inguinal hernias and a hernia orifice being 1.5-3 cm, who were treated with extended Totally Extraperitoneal Plasty (eTEP) repair. The patients were randomly assigned to two equal groups: a comparison group that underwent hernia defect closure and a control group that did not receive intracorporeal sutures.

Results: On postoperative day 1, ultrasound revealed seromas in 6 patients (11.7%) in the comparison group and in 22 patients (43.1%) in the control group (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14-0.5, p = 0.05). Mean operation times were 47.25 ± 8.68 for the comparison and 43.63 ± 8.31 min for the control group. Pain intensity on day 2, assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS), was 2.57 ± 1.09 in the comparison group and 2.9 ± 1.29 in the control group, indicating mild to moderate pain. No adverse events occurred in either group 30 days postoperatively.

Conclusion: This study presents a novel surgical endoscopy technique for closing direct medial inguinal hernia defects and provides anatomical feasibility. The advantages of the technique include preventing seromas and severe postoperative pain. Further randomized studies are warranted to assess long-term results of this technique and establish clinical indications for its use in surgical practice.

期刊介绍： Hernia was founded in 1997 by Jean P. Chevrel with the purpose of promoting clinical studies and basic research as they apply to groin hernias and the abdominal wall . Since that time, a true revolution in the field of hernia studies has transformed the field from a ”simple” disease to one that is very specialized. While the majority of surgeries for primary inguinal and abdominal wall hernia are performed in hospitals worldwide, complex situations such as multi recurrences, complications, abdominal wall reconstructions and others are being studied and treated in specialist centers. As a result, major institutions and societies are creating specific parameters and criteria to better address the complexities of hernia surgery. Hernia is a journal written by surgeons who have made abdominal wall surgery their specific field of interest, but we will consider publishing content from any surgeon who wishes to improve the science of this field. The Journal aims to ensure that hernia surgery is safer and easier for surgeons as well as patients, and provides a forum to all surgeons in the exchange of new ideas, results, and important research that is the basis of professional activity.
