Prolene Hernia System, Lichtenstein mesh and plug-and-patch for primary inguinal hernia repair: 3-year outcome of a prospective randomised controlled trial

Abstract: All of the techniques are suitable for operation under local anaesthesia. The PHS and P techniques can be performed with shorter operation times than the L method. Early and late outcomes are, however, comparable, with no significant differences concerning complication rates, return to full functional status and/or pain response.

“…No recurrence was encountered during a mean follow up period of 26 months. These results are comparable to results of many other studies [20] [21]. When comparing UHS with the classic Lichtenstein repair of inguinal hernia, many studies showed equivalent results for both techniques regarding intra and post-operative complications, length of hospital stay, duration of analgesics use, and time to return to usual activities [10] [11] [22].…”

Regarding operative time, some studies showed shorter operative time for UHS [20] [23]; other studies had longer operative time for UHS compared to Lichtenstein repair [24].…”

“…Performance of Lichtenstein inguinal hernia surgery under local anesthesia as a day-case surgery is accepted as the standard policy in many specialized and non-specialized centers [1,[9][10][11][12]. The advantages of local anesthesia over general anesthesia are well documented with regard to less postoperative pain, lack of detrimental effect on pulmonary function, early mobilization helping to day-case surgery facilities [5,10,13,14].…”

“…The advantages of local anesthesia over general anesthesia are well documented with regard to less postoperative pain, lack of detrimental effect on pulmonary function, early mobilization helping to day-case surgery facilities [5,10,13,14]. In general, it was accepted that excellent outcomes in primary hernia repair could be achieved by using tension free open technique with local anesthesia [4,15].…”
