Lichtenstein Hernioplasty Versus Totally Extraperitoneal Laparoscopic Hernioplasty in Treatment of Recurrent Inguinal Hernia—A Prospective Randomized Trial

Abstract: The laparoscopic technique with mesh in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia was proven superior to the open mesh repair in several important clinical aspects, with concomitant improvement in patient satisfaction.

“…In study conducted by Eklund et al, mean duration at which patient returned to routine work was 20 days. 7,9,[14][15][16] In present study mean duration at which patient returned to work is comparable to above mentioned studies. The patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery are able to resume routine early when compare open surgery.…”

“…All the RCTs included in that meta-analysis compared the laparo-endoscopic procedures with the open Lichtenstein technique. Three RCTs compared the Lichtenstein operation with TAPP (13,15,17), two RCTs compared it with TEP (11,16), and two RCTs compared it with both TEP and TAPP (12,14).…”

“…The meta-analysis by Pisanu (8) contained the largest number of exclusively prospective randomized trials (RCTs) (11,12,13,14,15,16,17). All the RCTs included in that meta-analysis compared the laparo-endoscopic procedures with the open Lichtenstein technique.…”

“…They attributed this difference as a result of reduced pain in TIPP group as compared to Lichtenstein group. Similarly, while comparing extraperitoneal preperitoneal laparoscopic technique (TEP) with Lichtenstein hernioplasty, Kauhia et al (2009) (15) also reported shorter time taken for the return to work in TEP group as compared to Lichtenstein group, which might be attributed to use of the laparoscopic technique in TEP group. Our study found both the techniques comparable except for duration of surgery, which in itself can be improved with the cumulative practice of transinguinal preperitoneal approach for hernia repair.…”
