[Methods of intraperitoneal placement of mesh in laparoscopic surgery of inguinal hernias (IPOM--Intraperitoneal
Background:
Intraperitoneal onlay mesh is a new method of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair shortening an operative time and reducing its cost, which is very safe and less burdening a patient.
Methods:
325 males and 37 females at the mean age of 47.3 years were operated on electively for symptomatic inguinal hernia by IPOM method. In all cases we used a polyester mesh impregnated with silicone.
Results:
The mean operative time was 18 minutes for unilateral procedure and 28 minutes for bilateral one. There was no serious complication during the operation even the post-operative time and no recurrency following this type of the operation.
Conclusion:
IPOM hernioplasty can be a method of choice in the inguinal hernia repair because of this procedure is very simple, cheap and safe for a patient. We have to wait for a long-term results to validate the hitherto existing ones, even if they are very optimistic.
