The intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) technique for inguinal hernia repair showed excessively high recurrence rates (43%) at intermediate follow-up. Conventional anterior inguinal herniorrhaphy (CH) demonstrated significantly lower recurrence rates, suggesting IPOM is not suitable for inguinal hernia repair.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Hernia Repair

Background:

  • A randomized prospective study compared modified laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) herniorrhaphy with conventional anterior inguinal herniorrhaphy (CH).
  • The study included patients with primary or recurrent inguinal hernias from two university-affiliated hospitals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate intermediate follow-up outcomes of IPOM versus CH for inguinal hernia repair.
  • To assess recurrence rates and complications associated with both surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Patients were randomized to either the IPOM technique using a soft tissue patch or CH.
  • Follow-up data were collected through clinic visits, telephone surveys, and mail surveys.

Main Results:

  • At a mean follow-up of 41 months, IPOM showed a recurrence rate of 43% (10/23) compared to 15% (4/27) for CH (P=0.053).
  • IPOM had delayed complications including port site hernias and neuromas; CH had delayed testicular atrophy.
  • Contralateral hernias developed in 1 IPOM patient versus 5 CH patients.

Conclusions:

  • Intermediate follow-up reveals excessively high recurrence rates for IPOM in inguinal hernia repair.
  • Conventional anterior inguinal herniorrhaphy (CH) demonstrates superior long-term outcomes regarding recurrence.
  • The IPOM technique is not recommended for inguinal hernia repair based on these findings.
