ambulatory repair of recurrent hernias. experience in 70 cases background: Recurrence is the most common long term complication of inguinal hernia repair. aim: To report the experience of ambulatory treatment of hernia recurrence. Patients and methods: Seventy patients aged 56 ± 14 years (59 men), with a low surgical risk and a body mass index below 40 kg/ m 2 were admitted to the program. The surgical repair of the hernia was performed under local anesthesia on an ambulatory basis. All patients received antibiotic and prophylaxis for venous thrombosis. results: The surgical procedure lasted 54 ± 25 minutes. A tissue repair was performed in 12 cases and a prosthetic one in 48. The ductus deferens was accidentally sectioned in one case. The postoperative complications were one hematoma which did not require surgery and two superficial infections that healed in an ambulatory basis. A long term follow up, for 9.3 ± 1.9 years after surgery was possible in 79% of cases. Two recurrences (3.5%) were observed and one patient complained of a light, intermittent pain in the inguinal region. There were two recurrences after tissue repair, both occurring after a Lichtenstein repair (4.2%). ninety two percent of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure. conclusion: Ambulatory treatment of recurrent hernias is feasible and safe.
Reconstruction of midline incisional hernias using a double isotensional sutureBackground: Incisional hernias of the midline are frequently multisacular and its treatment without a mesh is followed by a high rate of recurrences. Aim: To report a new technique for the treatment of midline incisional hernias, performing an isotensional suture of the midline with Vycril ® 2-0, followed by a double invaginant suture of the rectus aponeurosis with Ethybond ® 2-0. Material and Methods: Observational prospective study of 90 women and 26 men, aged 54 ± 13 and 59 ± 13 years respectively, with a hernia sac smaller than 15 cm and with an aponeurotic defect smaller than 3 cm, operated between January 2002 and December 2005. Results: Surgery was performed under local anesthesia on an ambulatory basis. The surgical procedure consisted in the excision of a skin lozenge which included the scar, dissection and reduction of all sacs and isotensional suture of the midline with Vycryl #1 ® . This suture was followed by a double invaginating suture of the rectus sheath in the midline with Ethylon ® 0. Five superficial infections and two hematomas were observed. Seven recurrences (7%) in 99 patients (85% of the sample), were found during a mean follow up of 4.6 years (range 2-6). Conclusions: The double invaginating isotensional suture (DIIS) is an acceptable alternative for the treatment of small and middle size incisional hernias of the midline. ResumenLas eventrorrafias sin malla de la línea media se asocian con una elevada tasa de recidivas. En esta publicación damos cuenta de una técnica fascial utilizable en eventraciones pequeñas y medianas de la línea media que hemos llamado doble sutura invaginante isotensional (DSII). El estudio observacional descriptivo es una serie clínica constituida por 90 mujeres con una edad promedio de 54 ± 12,9 años y 26 varones con una edad promedio de 59 ± 13,7 años, intervenidos entre el 1º de Enero de 2002 y el 31 de Diciembre de 2005. En 14 casos se trató de una eventración recidivada. Se intervinieron pacientes con un Rev. Chilena de Cirugía.
Prescindencia del drenaje en la eventrorrafia ambulatoria / Alberto Acevedo F. y cols.
Los síntomas clínicos de la hernia inguinal no complicada no aparecen suficientemente destacados en la literatura especializada. La mayoría de los autores se inclinan a considerar a las hernias como indoloras o escasamente dolorosas. En nuestra experiencia en el Programa de Cirugía Mayor Ambulatoria (PCMA) de las hernias, el dolor es una manifestación frecuente y nuestro objetivo es establecer su frecuencia en estos pacientes. Se diseñó una ficha que reunió la información obtenida en la primera consulta. Se introdujo a la base de datos del PCMA lo que permitió relacionar el dolor y sus características con diversos parámetros clínicos y técnicos. Se estudiaron 102 mujeres y 591 varones. El dolor estuvo presente en el 82,4% de los casos y fue el motivo de consulta en el 75%, seguido por la incomodidad en el 17%. El síntoma se presentó en una proporción similar en las hernias inguinales directas, indirectas y recidivadas, y en las hernias de tamaño pequeño, mediano o grande. Fue moderado o intenso en el 79,1% de los casos, predominando el dolor cansado y de tipo subagudo. El factor desencadenante fue el ejercicio físico en el 88,7%. Limitación para los movimientos, acentuada o muy acentuada estuvo presente 59,5% de la muestra. Concluimos que el dolor y la limitación funcional fueron el motivo para la búsqueda de una solución quirúrgica en una elevada proporción de pacientes portadores de hernia inguinal.
