“…The difference in postoperative narcotic requirement persisted when controlling for the presence of an epidural catheter. Our findings mirror the body of literature on the use of self-adhering mesh in inguinal hernia repair where this mesh has been shown to result in less acute pain, 15,16 without a clear effect on chronic pain. 17–23 The reduction in acute pain is very important in ensuring patient satisfaction and limiting patient suffering.…”

“…13,14 The use of self-adhering mesh in inguinal hernia repair has been found in some studies to result in lower levels of acute pain in the early postoperative period, 15 leading to faster return to normal activity, 16 although other studies failed to demonstrate a reduction in chronic groin pain. 17–23 Self-adhering mesh has also been found to provide a durable repair in inguinal hernias, providing equivalent hernia recurrence rates to sutured polypropylene mesh.…”

“…This ‘chronic' time frame ranged between 1 and 36 months [63,64,65,66,67]. Second, some studies included the quantitative factor PI in their definition of CPIP, which was either expressed using descriptive terms [68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75], a visual analog scale (VAS) score, or a QOL score [31,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85]. …”

“…Thirty-two studies (40%) had a validated assessment of both PI and QOL [11,14,19,20,22,24,29,31,34,38,40,41,43,45,48,53,54,56,58,60,62,65,67,73,74,76,84,86,87,88,89,90]; in 33 (41%) and 3 (4%) of the studies, respectively, there was only a validated assessment of PI [8,10,13,17,21,23,25,26,28,30,33,35,36,42,44,47,49,50,52,59,61,63,69,71,77,78,80,81,82,83,85] or QOL [46,51,57]. …”

Uniformity of Chronic Pain Assessment after Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Critical Review of the Literature

2016

Background: Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) is the most common long-term complication of inguinal hernia repair. As such procedures are routinely performed, CPIP can be considered a significant burden to global health care. Therefore, adequate preventative measures relevant to surgical practice are investigated. However, as no gold standard research approach is currently available, study and outcome measures differ between studies. The current review aims to provide a qualitative analysis of the literature to seek out if outcomes of CPIP are valid and comparable, facilitating recommendations on the best approach to preventing CPIP. Methods: A systematic review of recent studies investigating CPIP was performed, comprising studies published in 2007-2015. Study designs were analyzed regarding the CPIP definitions applied, the use of validated instruments, the availability of a baseline score, and the existence of a minimal follow-up of 12 months. Results: Eighty eligible studies were included. In 48 studies, 22 different definitions of CPIP were identified, of which the definition provided by the International Association for the Study of Pain was applied most often. Of the studies included, 53 (66%) used 33 different validated instruments to quantify CPIP. There were 32 studies (40%) that assessed both pain intensity (PI) and quality of life (QOL) with validated tools, 41% and 4% had a validated assessment of only PI or QOL, respectively, and 15% lacked a validated assessment. The visual analog scale and the Short Form 36 (SF36) were most commonly used for measuring PI (73%) and QOL (19%). Assessment of CPIP was unclear in 15% of the studies included. A baseline score was assessed in 45% of the studies, and 75% had a follow-up of at least 12 months. Conclusion: The current literature addressing CPIP after inguinal hernia repair has a variable degree of quality and lacks uniformity in outcome measures. Proper comparison of the study results to provide conclusive recommendations for preventive measures against CPIP therefore remains difficult. These findings reaffirm the need for a uniform and validated assessment with uniform reporting of outcomes to improve the burden that CPIP poses to a significant surgical patient population.

An institutional comparative study of self-gripping progrip mesh with prolene mesh in repair of inguinal hernia: a single center study

Background: The type of inguinal hernia repair used depends on many factors predominantly surgeon's training, interpretation of the literature and personal preference. This prospective cohort study describes a consecutive series of open mesh inguinal hernia repairs (modified Lichtenstein technique) performed in this hospital with two different mesh types. Methods: Analysis was undertaken on 60 consecutive patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair during last one year. Short-term outcomes were compared between those repaired with conventional polypropylene mesh and those with Covidien Progrip mesh. Results: All patients were male, and the mean age was 60 years. The median operative time was 60 minutes for unilateral hernias and 90 minutes for bilateral hernias. The use of Covidien Progrip mesh reduced the operative time to 40 minutes for unilateral hernias and 60 minutes for bilateral hernias. After unilateral hernia repair, 10% of the patients repaired with Progrip mesh were discharged home within 1 day of operation. Almost 99% of Progrip repair cases were discharged within 48 hrs. Twenty-four hours postoperatively, 74% of the patients were either totally pain free or had minimal discomfort. At 4weeks, 99%of the patients were either pain free or had minimal discomfort. Patients who underwent unilateral inguinal hernia repair with progrip mesh had the most rapid return to normal activities. All these parameters are slight longer in polypropylene mesh repair cases. Conclusions: Open anterior mesh repair is safe and results in minimal postoperative pain and early return to normal activities. Progrip mesh resulted in a shorter operative time and more rapid return to normal activities and decrease in long term postoperative pain compared with polypropylene mesh.
