Short stay surgery for hernia repair, utilizing local anesthesia, is feasible and beneficial. This approach significantly reduces hospital stays and is well-accepted by patients, offering social advantages.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Anesthesiology
  • Hernia Surgery

Background:

  • Inguinal and crural hernias are common surgical conditions.
  • Traditional hernia repair often involves longer hospital stays.
  • Optimizing patient recovery and resource utilization is a key healthcare goal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the outcomes of short stay surgery for inguinal and crural hernia repair.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and patient acceptance of day care surgery for hernias.
  • To assess the benefits of local anesthesia in minimizing post-anesthetic complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 55 patients undergoing surgical hernia repair.
  • Utilized local anesthesia for all procedures.

  • Monitored hospital stay duration, complications, and patient follow-up at 30 days.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean hospital stay was 1.18 days.
    • Local anesthesia minimized post-anesthetic respiratory and urinary issues.
    • Low complication rates: 1 superficial hematoma, 1 wound infection, 1 local anesthetic intolerance, 3 cases of low fever.
    • Over 90% of patients favored short stay surgery at follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Short stay and day care surgery for hernia repair is feasible and acceptable.
    • Local anesthesia is effective in reducing post-anesthetic complications.
    • This approach offers significant social benefits and is a useful alternative for hernia repair.
