To analyze the effect of self-made Chinese medicine package compression physiotherapy pants on the prevention and treatment of complications after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

A total of 128 patients with inguinal hernia admitted to the Department of General Surgery of Shanxi Province Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2019 to August 2021 were collected and were randomly divided into control group and experimental group according to the random number table method, with 64 patients in each group. Both groups of patients underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. In the control group, the groin area was pressurized with sandbags and traditional hernia belts were worn after the operation. The experimental group wore our department's self-made Chinese medicine package compression physiotherapy pants after the operation. The clinical indicators and complications of the two groups were compared.

Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a lower postoperative VAS score, shorter hospital stay, and a higher PZB service quality score (P<0.05). 24 hours and 7 days after operation, the incidence of hematoma and seroma, scrotal swelling and scrotal hematoma were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of hematoma and seroma, scrotal swelling and scrotal hematoma between the two groups 30 days after operation (P>0.05).

After laparoscopic inguinal repair, wearing our self-made traditional Chinese medicine package compression physiotherapy pants can reduce the degree of pain, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications such as hematoma, seroma, and scrotum swelling, shorten the hospital stay, and improve intervention satisfaction.
