Filter by:The defect closure was found to have higher pain and less seroma formation at various intervals of time following TEP for moderate-large direct inguinal hernia. Although these findings were statistically insignificant, they may be clinically significant, and further studies with a larger sample size are suggested.
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures in early infancy. Preoperative anxiety remains a vexing issue, and it exists in nearly 50% of pediatric patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the feasibility of bilateral laparoscopic exploration for all unilateral cases followed by laparoscopic bilateral TEP repair in all cases with a contralateral occult hernia and to compare complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration with prospectively performed unilateral repairs in young to middle-aged patients presenting with unilateral hernias in the surgery outpatient department. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To compare complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration between both groups. - Incidence of occult contralateral hernia Patients attending the OPD for unilateral inguinal hernia were counseled about the trial and fully encouraged to understand the difference between two procedures for unilateral hernia: bilateral exploration and bilateral TEP repair, upon which if a contralateral occult inguinal hernia was observed, documented, and controls were taken from the patients who denied bilateral exploration and underwent unilateral TEP repair. The allotment of patients was done in two groups of 30 patients each. Researchers will compare Group A( bilateral TEP) with Group B (unilateral TEP) to see if complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration occur in each group
All patients of age 6 month to 12 years with inguinal hernia were included in study. Data was collected on detailed proforma regarding age, sex, side ,operative time, cosmesis , and postoperative complications
postoperative chronic inguinal pain is a common postoperative complication after open inguinal hernia repair. Chronic inguinal pain is a common complication following open inguinal hernia repair. Ilioinguinal nerve entrapment is a common cause of this chronic pain which may adversely affect the patients' life. Ilioinguinal neurectomy seems to be beneficial in preventing such pain, but it carries the risk for numbness and hypoesthesia.
The introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks into the preoperative care regimen at Shouldice Hospital for inguinal hernia repair marks a significant shift in pain management strategies. While Shouldice Hospital has traditionally not employed this technique, recent literature highlighting its potential benefits has prompted its trial within their patient population. Research in this area, although limited, suggests promising outcomes. Studies such as those by Beaussier et al. (2005) and Nehra et al. (1995) have demonstrated decreased postoperative pain and opioid use, as well as increased mobility associated with the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. However, concerns such as orthostatic hypotension and rebound pain have also been noted, indicating the need for careful consideration and monitoring of potential adverse effects. More recent studies, particularly those focusing on the Lichtenstein repair, have further supported the potential benefits of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. Kacmaz and Bolat (2020) found improved patient satisfaction, reduced opioid consumption, and shorter hospital stays associated with nerve block techniques. Additionally, the use of adjuncts such as dexamethasone has shown promise in reducing rebound pain and opioid requirements postoperatively. The purpose of evaluating the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital is multifaceted. Not only does it aim to enhance patient care and satisfaction by improving pain management strategies, but it also provides valuable insights for anesthetists and surgeons regarding the utility and efficacy of this technique within the context of inguinal hernia repair. Furthermore, the trial may facilitate the refinement of current practices, potentially leading to standardized protocols that optimize patient outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. In summary, the introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital represents a proactive approach toward enhancing perioperative care for inguinal hernia patients. By leveraging emerging evidence and adapting to evolving clinical practices, the hospital stands to benefit from improved patient outcomes and potentially contribute to the advancement of pain management strategies in hernia surgery.
Analgesic Efficacy of Sequential Rapid Intrathecal Injection Of Dexmedetomidine Followed by Slow Injection of Hyperbaric Bupivacaine Versus Sequential Slow Injection of Both Drugs in Patients Undergoing Unilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery
The goal of this prospective study is to compare the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal versus Lichtenstein hernia repair, in order to improve the outcome of inguinal hernia treatment. The main question it aims to answer is, in which procedure is the self-gripping mesh more effective. Participants will be divided into the TAPP group and the Lichtenstein group by random number table method, the TAPP group underwent laparoscopic transperitoneal preperitoneal hernia repair, and the Lichtenstein group underwent Lichtenstein hernia repair, both groups used self-gripping meshes. Researchers will compare the operation time, postoperative time out of bed, postoperative hospital stay, hospital costs and postoperative complications between the two groups to see the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal versus Lichtenstein hernia repair.
To compare the clinical and postoperative analgesic effects of hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine and ropivacaine alone in quadrangular muscle block for open inguinal hernia in elderly patients.
Inguinal hernia surgery has undergone significant and extensive transformation, including the advent of tissue-based repairs and later, tension-free repairs with the acceptance of prosthetic mesh. However, there is still significant pain associated with the use of mesh, as well as the risk of potential injury to neurovascular structures. In the pediatric population, non-mesh laparoscopic high-ligation repair of indirect inguinal hernias is one of the most common procedures performed. High-ligation of indirect inguinal hernias in the adolescent population is also effective, with a low recurrence rate and low incidence of chronic symptoms, but this technique is uncommonly used by adult hernia surgeons due to concern for recurrence.The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot trial to examine the efficacy of high-ligation repair of indirect inguinal hernias in adult patients. Our hypothesis is that the laparoscopic, non-mesh repair technique is an effective method of repairing indirect inguinal hernias, with an acceptable recurrence rate and decreased postoperative pain. This pilot trial will allow the design of a randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy of this technique to other standard repair techniques.
