Laparoscopic hernia repair as a day-case procedure is safe and effective. Transabdominal preperitoneal mesh repair allows for efficient operating room utilization and excellent patient outcomes with low complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Hernia repair is a common surgical procedure.
  • Day-case surgery offers potential benefits for patient recovery and healthcare costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic hernia repair as a day-case procedure.
  • To assess patient outcomes, operating times, and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 114 patients underwent laparoscopic hernia repair.
  • Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) mesh repair was the primary technique used.
  • Data on operating time, patient discharge, complications, and recurrence were collected.

Main Results:

  • 111 out of 114 patients were discharged on the same day of surgery.

  • Mean operating times were 24 minutes for unilateral and 38 minutes for bilateral repairs.
  • The overall complication rate was low, with seroma being the most common minor complication (7%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic hernia repair as a day-case procedure is feasible and safe.
    • The TAPP technique allows for efficient throughput in the operating room.
    • The procedure demonstrates a low complication and recurrence rate, supporting its use in ambulatory settings.
