Abstract:
Objective
To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP group) and open preperitoneal repair with Ultrapro Hernia System (UHS group)in the treatment of adult patients with groin hernia, and to explore the significance of membrane anatomy principle in guiding the surgical procedure.
Methods
The clinical data of 163 adult patients with groin hernia from January 2022 to October 2023 treated by general surgery in Anting Hospital, Jiading District,Shanghai were analyzed retrospectively.According to the surgical method, patients were divided into TAPP group (laparoscopic TAPP surgery, 92 cases) and UHS group (open preperitoneal repair, 71 cases).The baseline data, operative data, postoperative visual analogue scale(VAS) scores, length of hospital stay,total cost, postoperative complications and recurrence of the two groups was compared.
Results
The age,ASA grade of the patients in UHS group were higher than those in TAPP group.There were significant differences in hernia classification and type between the two groups (P<0.001).No significant difference in operation time were observed between two groups.Compared with the UHS group, the TAPP group had lower postoperative pain VAS scores and shorter hospital stays, but higher hospitalization costs, with statistically significant differences (P<0.001, P=0.001, P<0.001).There was no significant difference in the overall postoperative complications between the two groups.There was no Clavien-Dindo grade I or above complications in the TAPP group, and 2 cases of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ and 1 case of grade Ⅲcomplications in UHS group.
Conclusion
Both TAPP and open preperitoneal repair with UHS guided by the concept of membrane anatomy are safe and effective in the treatment of adult patients with groin hernia.TAPP has the advantages of better visual field with endoscopy, less trauma, less postoperative pain and faster recovery.The advantage of open preperitoneal surgery is that it provides a variety of anesthesia options, which means it can be performed for a wider range of patients.
