Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Device Safety
  • Hernia Surgery Outcomes

Background:

  • Synthetic mesh is standard for hernia repair, but public concern exists due to uro-gynaecological mesh complications.
  • This study addresses public concern by evaluating long-term outcomes of inguinal hernia repair using mesh.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess long-term outcomes of inguinal hernia repair using synthetic mesh.
  • To evaluate complication rates and pain scores in a large patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection from 2002-2016 in a private practice.
  • Inclusion of 1711 inguinal hernia repairs (1366 patients) using open or laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (LTEP) mesh repair.
  • Recording of patient demographics, repair method, pre- and post-operative pain scores, and complications.

Main Results:

  • Post-operative pain scores significantly improved compared to pre-operative scores across all repair methods.
  • Severe pain reduced from 7.9% pre-operatively to 1% post-operatively.
  • Recurrence rates were 0% for open repair and 0.81% for LTEP repair.

Conclusions:

  • Inguinal hernia repair with mesh demonstrates low complication rates and does not appear to cause significant long-term chronic pain.
  • Both open and laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (LTEP) mesh repairs are effective and safe options for inguinal hernia treatment.
