[Discussion of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for recurrent inguinal hernia]
1Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100043, China.
Objective:
To explore the surgical techniques and the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) for recurrent inguinal hernia.
Methods:
Clinical data of 367 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP repair from Mar. 2009 to Mar. 2015 in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital of Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Laparoscopic operations were completed successfully in 365 cases, however, 2 cases were converted to open surgery.The operation time was (55.7±19.3) min (30-100 min) and the hospital stay was (4.9±2.7) d (2-12 d). The incidences of postoperative pain, hydrocele, and urinary retention were 4.1%(15/367), 13.1%(48/367), and 1.3%(5/367) respectively.Other complications such as foreign body sensation, wound infection, and intestinal obstruction.All cases were followed up from 3 to 72 months ((36.5±14.7) months), 2 recurrent cases was observed and no mesh infection and long-term chronic pain were observed.
Conclusions:
Laparoscopic TAPP repair has advantages of minimal invasion and few complications, which is safe and effective for recurrent inguinal hernia.
