Background and aim: To find the superiority of extended total extraperitoneal (E-TEP) repair and transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) mesh repair in inguinal hernia repair.Material and methods: A total of 30 patients with a unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia (IH), and recurrent IH, following open repair were studied. Out of 30 patients, laparoscopic TAPP or E-TEP mesh repair was performed in an equal number of inguinal hernia patients. The patient's demographic parameters, duration of surgery, postoperative hospital stay, and complications were compared.Results: In the E-TEP group, 33.33% of patients had left inguinal hernia (LIH), 60% of patients were diagnosed with right inguinal hernia (RIH) and 6.67% of patients had right inguinal and right direct hernia (RDH). In the TAPP group, 33.33% of patients had LIH and 53.33% of patients were suffering from RIH. Moreover, 6.67% of patients were diagnosed with a left inguinal direct hernia, and a similar proportion of patients had a right inguinal direct hernia. The mean duration of surgery was found to be significantly higher in the TAPP group (P<0.0000). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.07±0.59 and 2.80±1.32 days in E-TEP and TAPP groups, respectively (P=0.044). Conclusion:In the present study, E-TEP mesh repair is a superior technique in the management of inguinal hernia as compared with TAPP repair.
Introduction Incisional hernia is a bulge or protrusion near or directly along a prior abdominal surgical incision.Repair of ventral hernias has always been challenging because of the distorted anatomy due to previous surgery. With the advancement in technology as well as surgical techniques, laparoscopic incisional hernia repair (LVHR) is more commonly being performed as compared to open repair in various centers throughout the World. Our study aimed to compare the short-term operative outcomes between laproscopic and open repair. Materials and methods Fifty patients diagnosed with non-complicated incisional hernias were included in this prospective study and were randomly divided into the laparoscopic group and the open group. The two groups were compared to evaluate operative time, postoperative pain, length of hospital stay and time taken to return to normal activity. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically signicant. Mean operative time Results was longer in Laproscopic repair (100 min) as compared to open repair (76 min)(p<0.01). Patients experienced more pain on the rst and seventh postoperative days in the open group (p<0.01) and they also had a longer duration of hospital stay as compared to the laparoscopic group . Conclusion Laparoscopic repair carries a signicant advantage over open hernia repair, especially in terms of reduced postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay, and early resumption of normal activity
