Abstract:

Objective

To investigate application value of lightweight mesh plug for recurrent inguinal hernia in elderly patients.

Methods

A total of 54 elderly patients of recurrent inguinal hernia receiving mesh plug operation in Beijing Electric Power Hospital from August 2013 to August 2016 were divided into two groups according using of lightweight mesh plug or standard mesh plug. There were 30 cases in lightweight mesh group and 24 cases in standard mesh group. The clinical data were collected and compared including operation time, post-operative hospital stay, incidence of seroma, foreign body sensation, chronic pain, recurrence rate and surgical site infection.

Results

The differences of age, ASA, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative hospital stay between two groups were not statistically significant. No case of recurrence, chronic pain or surgical site infection was observed. The differences of hospital cost, incidence of seroma and foreign body sensation were significant between two groups.

Conclusion

It’s worthy to promote lightweight mesh plug in elderly patients with recurrent inguinal hernia although it may cost more. It can reduce the incidence of seroma and foreign body sensation.
