Isolation of the Spermatic Cord in Mesh Inguinal Hernia Repair

Inguinal Hernia

There are in excess of 1 million operations performed annually to repair inguinal hernias, mostly in the male population. Unfortunately, some patients continue to suffer both groin or testicular pain for varying lengths of time postoperatively. This can lead to a severe degradation of the patient's lifestyle, work habits and sexual function. The origin of the pain is felt to be secondary to the inflammatory reaction caused by the mesh. This also involves the spermatic cord and its structures, leading to orchidinia and possibly azospermia.

Paravertebral Blocks: Pilot Study to Compare Nerve Stimulation vs. Anatomic Landmarks in Inguinal...

Inguinal Hernia

Primary aim: 1. To compare the nerve stimulation vs. anatomic techniques of paravertebral block of T11-L1 in providing surgical anesthesia for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Secondary aims: Compare VAS pain scores in the two groups of patients over the first 24 hours. Compare opioid intake over the first 24 hours in the two groups of patients.

Laparoscopic TEP (Total Extra-peritoneal) Repair Vs Open PHS (Prolene Hernia System)

Inguinal Hernia

Abdominal wall hernias are common, with a lifetime risk of 27% in men and 3% in women. Inguinal and femoral hernias are the most common affections faced by primary care physicians that require surgical intervention. The most common hernia in both sexes is the indirect inguinal hernia. The male-to-female ratio is 9:1 for inguinal hernias and 1:3 for femoral hernias. Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations undertaken in routine surgical practice. Since the introduction of the Bassini method in 1887, more than 70 types of pure tissue repair have been reported in the surgical literature. Throughout the years, attention was paid to the recurrences that occur after the use of tissue approximation technique, in the literature it has been reported that they occur in up to 34% of cases, being that the actual incidence of recurrences it is underreported, therefore, the repair of the hernia with approximation of tissue has practically been abandoned. The concept of tension free repair for hernias was introduced by Lichtenstein who explain that the prime etiologic factor behind most herniorrhaphy failures is the suturing together, under tension, of structures that are not normally in apposition. The technique of the hernioplasty with the use of mesh was not widely accepted at first, the expansion of the use of mesh expanded for years. The use of mesh increased from 7 per cent of all operations in 1992 to 51 per cent in 1996. Currently, groin hernia treatment is not standardized but, today, tension free mesh repair technique is regarded as gold standard. Based in the Stoppa technique, the laparoscopic hernia repair was developed in 1991. The most common laparoscopic techniques for inguinal hernia repair are transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair and total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair. The use of the laparoscopic technique was progressively increasing based on the advantages of minimal invasive procedures, but since the publication of Neumayer in 2004, where he reports a recurrent incidence in laparoscopic hernia of 10.1 % compared with 4% for open surgery, the use of laparoscopic repair declines considerably. Surgeons remain divided on the best technique for inguinal hernia repair: while more than half never perform laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, today the laparoscopic technique for hernia repair is used in 28% of cases, of which 25% is used the TEP approach and is considered the best approach for bilateral inguinal hernia repair (17). Advantages and disadvantages of TEP are: faster return to usual activities, operation times are longer and there appears to be a higher risk of serious complication rate in respect of visceral (especially bladder) and vascular injuries (18). In 1999, Gilbert published the use of bilayer patch device, known as prolene ® hernia system (Ethicon; Somerville, NJ, USA) (PHS) to repair inguinal hernia. The unique feature of this polypropylene mesh device is that it has attached the component, its underlay patch provides a pre-peritoneal repair, a connector that has the desirable attributes of a plug and an onlay patch covers the back wall. In the literature, better results have been reported for PHS repair than for Lichtenstein repair. The advantages of the anterior repair of inguinal hernias are: low operative costs, short learning curve, reproducible results at all levels and the possibility of the use of local anesthesia. The objective of this study is to compare the results of laparoscopic totally extra-peritoneal repair (LTEPR) with open prolene hernia system repair (OPHSR) retrospectively.

Analgesia in Children Using Caudal Epidural Ropivacaine

Inguinal HerniaCircumcision

Caudal epidural analgesia (caudal block)is used in standard pediatric anesthesia practice. It has been shown to be effective in managing postoperative pain in children undergoing abdominal and infraumbilical surgery (Tobias et al 1994). Furthermore, studies have shown that children receiving caudal blocks have secondary benefits such as lower narcotic and anesthetic requirements, more rapid awakening from general anesthesia, decreased time to discharge home, and fewer pain-related behaviors postoperatively (Conroy et al 1993, Tobias et al 1995, Tobias 1996). This proposed study involves the use of a caudal block in children undergoing elective inguinal herniorrhaphy or orchiopexy to evaluate the role of preemptive analgesia in pediatric pain management. We hypothesize that by inhibiting peripheral pain receptors with a caudal block before the onset of a painful stimulus, we can decrease central nervous system sensitization and reduce postoperative analgesic requirements

COMPARISON OF LAPAROSCOPIC TOTAL EXTRAPERITONEAL HERNIA REPAIR AND LICHTENSTEIN HERNIA REPAIR

Inguinal Hernia

The superiority of laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery over open surgery has been shown in many high patient-numbered studies with early return to work, less pain and good cosmetic results. The aim of this study is to determine the differences between two different methods in terms of sexual, sensory, quality of life and urinary results.
