Mesh plug and Lichtenstein patch repairs at 12 months follow-up: no differences in outcome

“…These results have been reported in the literature [4] and are also included in the meta-analysis by Zhao et al [5]. We are pleased, therefore, that the study by Sanders et al has reshuZed the risk of chronic pain due to PerWx repair, thus, conWrming the results from our personal experience [6].…”

Adhesive Performance of Biomimetic Adhesive-Coated Biologic Scaffolds

“…Specifically, mesh fixation has been linked to postoperative pain in as many as 63% of hernia repair procedures, with pain that alters patients’ quality of life occurring in 4–12% of the cases 9, 11. Postoperative evaluation that compared mesh fixation with staples versus fibrin glue found that the prevalence of chronic pain was significantly higher in the stapled group (21%) than in the fibrin sealant group (4.7%) 16.…”

“…For example, in hernia repair, mechanical fixation methods may be the source of neural irritation and persistent pain. 8–11 In tendon reconstruction, on the other hand, surgical repairs often fail as sutures pull out through the tendinous tissue with loading 12, 13…”

Randomized clinical trial of Desarda versus Lichtenstein repair for treatment of primary inguinal hernia

“…However, a question of whether the changed techniques of hernia repair in recent years, mainly implanted mesh, have caused a rise in the incidence of chronic groin pain from 1 to 28.7% was raised [8]. Mesh implantation in the inguinal region can result in clinical problems such as foreign body sensation in the groin, discomfort and abdominal wall stiffness which may interfere with patient activities [9]. Mesh migration to the intestine, urinary bladder, femoral vein, preperitoneal space and the scrotum has been reported after all varieties of mesh repairs [10e13].…”
