Brief summary

The goal of this prospective study is to compare the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal versus Lichtenstein hernia repair, in order to improve the outcome of inguinal hernia treatment. The main question it aims to answer is, in which procedure is the self-gripping mesh more effective. Participants will be divided into the TAPP group and the Lichtenstein group by random number table method, the TAPP group underwent laparoscopic transperitoneal preperitoneal hernia repair, and the Lichtenstein group underwent Lichtenstein hernia repair, both groups used self-gripping meshes. Researchers will compare the operation time, postoperative time out of bed, postoperative hospital stay, hospital costs and postoperative complications between the two groups to see the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal versus Lichtenstein hernia repair.

Interventions

PROCEDURELaparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of moderate to severe pain at 3 and 6 months after surgery.3 and 6 months after surgery.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to score the postoperative pain at 3 and 6 months. The score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of recurrent inguinal hernia at 3 and 6 months after surgery.3 and 6 months after surgery.Recurrence of inguinal hernia after surgery
