TAPP and Open Repair for Recurrent Inguinal Hernia

The objective of this study was to explore the clinical efficacy of transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) and open tension-free hernia repair in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia. This study aims to provide a basis for selecting the optimal treatment methods for recurrent hernias.

About this study

The patients were randomly allocated to the TAPP group and the open tension-free repair group. We recorded the general situation, operation time, and intraoperative complications; postoperative visual analogue pain scale (VAS) scores at 24 and 48 h; and the incidence of complications such as seroma, chronic pain, inguinal numbness, foreign body sensation, and recurrence at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. These indicators were compared between the two groups of patients.

Treatment and study plan

Transabdominal preperitoneal approach

Procedure

The enrolled patients underwent either open tension-free hernia repair or Transabdominal preperitoneal approach

Other names: Open tension-free hernia repair

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperation pain

    Time frame: 24 hours, 48 hours, three months after surgery

    Postoperative pain was monitored using the VAS pain scoring system (0-10 points) and recorded at 24 and 48 h. Patients with groin pain for more than 3 months were recorded during follow-up.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Numbness and foreign body sensation

    Time frame: The mean follow-up time was 10 months after surgery

    The occurrence of groin numbness and foreign body sensation after operation was recorded

  2. Operating time

    Time frame: During surgery

    Record the patient's operating time

  3. Hemorrhage

    Time frame: During surgery

    The amount of surgical bleeding was recorded

  4. Urinary retention

    Time frame: One week after surgery

    Urinary retention was observed and recorded after operation

  5. Seroma

    Time frame: The mean follow-up time was 2 weeks after surgery

    The occurrence of postoperative seroma was observed and recorded

  6. Recurrence

    Time frame: The mean follow-up time was 1 year after surgery

    The recurrence of patients after operation was observed and recorded

  7. Fever

    Time frame: One week after surgery

    The postoperative fever was observed and recorded

  8. Length of hospital stay

    Time frame: Within a week of surgery

    The patient's length of stay was recorded
