Mesh Fixation Versus Non Fixation in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernioplasty

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common types of abdominal hernias. Laparoscopic hernioplasty of inguinal hernia is a good alternative to traditional open repairs even in simple unilateral primary inguinal hernia in terms of decrease post operative pain and complications with comparable recurrence rates.Two techniques are described in laparoscopic hernioplasty and have been extensively studied in randomised trials. The totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach is more widely used than the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach.

In this study we will compare between the results of mesh fixation and non fixation as regard operative and postoperative data.

Treatment and study plan

fixation of conventional polypropylene mesh

Procedure

By fixation of the polyprolene mesh,patients will be divided into two groups:

Group 1 includes patients with fixation of conventional polypropylene mesh. Group 2 includes patients without fixation of the mesh.

Primary outcomes

Comparing fixation of conventional polypropylene mesh versus non fixation of 3D max mesh (anatomically oriented mesh) in laparoscopic trans-abdominal properitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair

Time frame: Baseline

Comparing fixation of conventional polypropylene mesh versus non fixation of 3D max mesh (anatomically oriented mesh) in laparoscopic transabdominal properitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair as regard operative and postoperative data.By following-up the patient while admitted post-operatively to check scrotal swelling by examination.After discharge contacting the patient 10 days, 20 days, one month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, one year, 2 years to check incidence of recurrence of hernia and return to normal life activities.
