This study shows anterior stapling mesh repair is a safe and effective treatment for inguinal hernias. The procedure is well-tolerated, inexpensive, and leads to quick recovery with low recurrence rates.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Hernia Repair Techniques

Background:

  • Laparoscopic hernioplasty prompts re-evaluation of synthetic mesh safety in hernia surgery.
  • Investigating the efficacy of anterior stapling mesh repair for inguinal hernia treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a modified open mesh hernioplasty using staples for inguinal hernia repair.

Main Methods:

  • A modified open mesh hernioplasty with staple anchorage was performed on 127 patients between July 1993 and June 1994.
  • Patient data including age, anesthesia type, operation time, and recovery were recorded.

Main Results:

  • The mean patient age was 61.4 years, with over 90% undergoing local anesthesia.
  • Median operation time was 39 minutes, with a median recovery time of 7 days for daily activities.

  • A low complication rate (2 reactionary hemorrhages) and only one recurrence over a 26-month median follow-up were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified mesh hernia repair using a stapling device is a feasible, inexpensive, and safe procedure.
    • The technique is well-tolerated under local anesthesia by the majority of patients.
    • This method offers a viable alternative for inguinal hernia treatment.
