Background: Prevalence of inguinal hernia worldwide is 15%-45% at different ages that requires surgical repair. At present, inguinalprotrusion (hernia) is a common surgical method with mesh repair. The modern mesh type includes a variety of materials, and surgical options include using fixation mesh, sutures, rigging or staples, self-meshes and fibrin-fixation, or other types of glue. Aim of the work:To assess and compare the efficacy of mesh fixation using fibrin glue, tacks and sutures during laparoscopic repair of inguinal-protrusion. Patients and methods: Randomized-study involved; 15 male-patients presented with inguinal-protrusion (hernia) at Al-Azhar university hospitals using laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal repair. According to the mesh fixation method, Patients were divided into three different groups: Group 1: using fibrin glue, Group 2: using staple, and Group 3: using sutures. Results: Age were no statistically significant difference between groups. Operative time was highly statistically significant difference between groups there were no intra-operative complications in all groups. Postoperative pain score shows highly statistically significant differences between groups in all follow up time except after 6 months there were no statistically significant differences between groups. Early post-operative, hospital stay, Economic Cost complications were no statistically significant differences between groups. There was no Recurrence found at follow up in all groups. Conclusion: Our study revealed that fibrin glue method is considered comparable, cost effective method for mesh fixation. According to our findings; observed that fibrin glue have fast recovery, less hospital stay, cost effective, less complications and low recurrence rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
