Summary
Mesh hernioplasty for inguinal hernia under local anesthesia is a safe procedure with a low complication rate. This method offers benefits such as a reduced hospital stay and quicker return to daily activities.
Area of Science:
- General Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Inguinal hernias are common surgical conditions.
- Traditional hernia repair methods may involve general anesthesia with associated risks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and complication frequency of mesh hernioplasty for inguinal hernia repair performed under local anesthesia.
Main Methods:
- A prospective study included 108 male patients aged 20-65 with inguinal hernias.
- Open mesh hernioplasty using polypropylene mesh was performed under local anesthesia.
- Patients were monitored for operative and post-operative complications.
Main Results:
- 21.25% of patients experienced minor operative complications.
- Post-operative complications included wound pain (28.70%), hematoma (3.70%), vomiting (1.85%), urinary retention (0.92%), and wound infection (2.70%).
- Mean hospital stay was 27.27 hours.
Conclusions:
- Inguinal hernia repair using mesh hernioplasty under local anesthesia is a safe and effective procedure.
- Benefits include reduced cardiopulmonary risks, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
