“…Table 2 IPOM repair is easier and faster than other types of inguinal hernia repair, but have not been popular because of some problems; 1) high recurrence rate due to mesh migration, 2) adhesive phenomenon with the bowel. (18,19) However, in these days, there were some reports about successful IPOM repair for inguinal hernia (20); but still it is needed that long term follow up and better designed study about IPOM repair to confirm its safety and feasibility. In our study, fortunately there was no recurrence or intraperitoneal complications yet, however, it seemed that long term careful follow ups are needed.…”

Purpose:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records to estimate the feasibility and surgical outcome of laparoscopic herniorrhaphies in patients with previous lower abdominal surgery. Methods: Between December 2000 and December 2008, a total of 1,101 cases of laparoscopic herniorrhaphies were performed in 974 patients, among them 47 cases (4.27%) of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy in 40 patients who had undergone previous lower abdominal surgery were enrolled to this study. Results: Most patients (23 of 24) who had a history of appendectomy successfully underwent laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair. Six patients who had history of a prostatectomy and 2 patients with a Pfannenstiel incision underwent an intraperitoneal only mesh (IPOM) repair after a failed TEP repair. Five patients had lower midline incisions due to panperitonitis, among them TEP repairs were performed in 3 patients and IPOM was performed after failed TEP repairs in 2 patients who had undergone surgery due to trauma-induced rupture of the bladder. Conclusion: Laparoscopic TEP hernia repair could be possible and reasonable in patients after an appendectomy; however, it is difficult in patients with previous pelvic surgeries. Additional studies are needed to determine whether or not laparoscopic TEP repair for inguinal hernias is feasible in patients who have undergone other general surgical procedures.

Introduction: With over 20 million repairs performed worldwide annually, inguinal hernias represent a significant source of disability and loss of productivity. Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTESÔ), as a potentially less invasive form of surgery may reduce postoperative disability and accelerate return to work. The objective of this study was to assess the safety and short-term effectiveness of transgastric inguinal herniorrhaphy using a biologic mesh in a survival canine model. Materials and Methods: Under general anesthesia with the animal in trendelenburg position, a gastrostomy was created. A 4 · 6 cm acellular dermal implant was deployed endoscopically across the myopectineal orifice, draped over the cord structures, and secured with Bioglue. Following completion of bilateral repairs the animals were survived for 14 days. At the end of the study period, the animals were euthanized and a necropsy performed. Cultures of a random site within the peritoneal cavity and at the site of implant deployment were obtained. In addition, a visual inspection of the peritoneal cavity was performed. Results: All animals thrived postoperatively and did not manifest signs of peritonitis or sepsis at any point. At necropsy accurate placement and adequate myopectineal coverage was confirmed in all subjects. Cultures of a random site within the peritoneal cavity and at the site of implant deployment had no growth. Discussion: This study confirms that NOTES-inguinal herniorrhaphy using a biologic implant can be performed safely. In addition, the transgastric technique provided good short-term myopectineal coverage without infectious sequelae.

“…The clinical studies conducted by Olmi et al are very promising [3,4]. However, some of the follow-up observation periods are very short; hence, only at a much later stage can final conclusions be made.…”
