Conditions

Recurrent Inguinal Hernia

Brief summary

The objective of this study was to explore the clinical efficacy of transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) and open tension-free hernia repair in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia. This study aims to provide a basis for selecting the optimal treatment methods for recurrent hernias.

Detailed description

The patients were randomly allocated to the TAPP group and the open tension-free repair group. We recorded the general situation, operation time, and intraoperative complications; postoperative visual analogue pain scale (VAS) scores at 24 and 48 h; and the incidence of complications such as seroma, chronic pain, inguinal numbness, foreign body sensation, and recurrence at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. These indicators were compared between the two groups of patients.

Interventions

PROCEDURETransabdominal preperitoneal approach

The enrolled patients underwent either open tension-free hernia repair or Transabdominal preperitoneal approach

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperation pain24 hours, 48 hours, three months after surgeryPostoperative pain was monitored using the VAS pain scoring system (0-10 points) and recorded at 24 and 48 h. Patients with groin pain for more than 3 months were recorded during follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Operating timeDuring surgeryRecord the patient's operating time
HemorrhageDuring surgeryThe amount of surgical bleeding was recorded
Urinary retentionOne week after surgeryUrinary retention was observed and recorded after operation
Numbness and foreign body sensationThe mean follow-up time was 10 months after surgeryThe occurrence of groin numbness and foreign body sensation after operation was recorded
RecurrenceThe mean follow-up time was 1 year after surgeryThe recurrence of patients after operation was observed and recorded
FeverOne week after surgeryThe postoperative fever was observed and recorded
Length of hospital stayWithin a week of surgeryThe patient's length of stay was recorded
SeromaThe mean follow-up time was 2 weeks after surgeryThe occurrence of postoperative seroma was observed and recorded
