The surgical treatments for inguinal hernia, obturator hernia, and stress urinary incontinence in females all inevitably involve the crucial step of protecting the obturator vessels.The author explored the anatomy of the obturator vessels, the relationships between the surgeries for inguinal hernia, obturator hernia, and stress urinary incontinence of females and the obturator vessels, as well as various strategies for protecting the obturator vessels in surgical procedures such as transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal approach (TEP) for inguinal hernia, different surgical approaches for obturator hernia, and transobturator tension-free vaginal tape obturator technique(TVT-O) for stress urinary incontinence of females.It is summarized that in TAPP and TEP procedures, due to the dissection of the Retzius space, the “corona mortis” vessels, which are branches of the obturator vessels, are exposed anteriorly and medially to the pubis; The hernial sac of the obturator hernia runs through the obturator canal and thus accompanies the obturator vessel and nerve bundle; In the TVT-O procedure for stress urinary incontinence in females, when puncturing the left and right obturator membranes, it is necessary to keep away from the obturator vessel and nerve bundle.Since the surgical procedures for the above three diseases are different, the surgical sites are also correspondingly different,and the relationships between the surgical methods and the obturator vessels are also different.Therefore,the strategies for protecting the obturator vessels during the surgical operation are different.We need to master the anatomy of the obturator vessels proficiently, clarify the different relationships between the surgical methods of the three diseases and the obturator vessels, and make the correct strategies for protecting the obturator vessels during the surgical procedure.

Inguinal hernia is a superficial mass formed by the protrusion of an intra-abdominal organ through a defect in the inguinal region, and can occur in all age groups.In clinical practice, the incidence of inguinal hernia is relatively high, with a higher prevalence in males than in females.Currently,surgery is the only way to cure inguinal hernia, but with the deeper understanding of the anatomy of the inguinal region and the rapid development of material science, effective and individualized surgical procedures are constantly being improved.Therefore, tension-free hernia repair is widely used in clinical practice, among which the Lichtenstein procedure, with its low-tension suture, fewer complications, and conformity to the human anatomical nodes, has gradually become the mainstream procedure, but some patients still face recurrence.Previous studies have found that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (TIMPs) can be used as biomarkers related to inguinal hernia development, disease progression, and postoperative prognosis.These factors have some potential clinical value in the pathologic process of the disease by participating in the synthesis, secretion, and inhibition of various proteins in the body.The aim of this review is to provide a narrative on the relevance of MMP and TIMP in the mechanism of inguinal hernia and postoperative recurrence.

Abdominal external hernia is a common surgical disease, and mesh implantation is the main treatment.Polypropylene and its modified mesh have excellent mechanical properties and deformation resistance and are the most widely used repair materials.However, due to its inherent chronic inflammatory response, it may lead to abdominal adhesion, mesh infection, mesh erosion and other complications.Once complications such as mesh infection occur, complex secondary operations are often required to remove the mesh, causing a serious burden to patients and society.Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, various new types of mesh based on polypropylene modification have become a research hotspot.The purpose of this paper is to review the advantages and disadvantages of polypropylene and its modified mesh so as to provide some reference for the personalized selection of clinical mesh.

Objective

To investigate the risk factors and management strategies for perioperative bleeding in recurrent inguinal hernia repair.

Methods

A retrospective case-control study was conducted, enrolling 57 patients who underwent surgical repair for recurrent inguinal hernia in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2015 and December 2024.Patients were categorized into postoperative bleeding group (n=16) and non-bleeding group (n=41) based on the presence of bleeding-related complications (such as a significant drop in hemoglobin levels,excessive drainage, and hematoma/ecchymosis).Demographic data, previous surgical history, and preoperative and perioperative laboratory data were collected from the electronic medical records.Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with intraoperative blood loss, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine independent predictors of postoperative bleeding complications.

Results

The incidence of postoperative hemorrhagic complications (hemoglobin decline, increased drainage volume, hematoma/ecchymosis)following recurrent inguinal hernia repair was 28.1% (16/57).Multivariate linear regression revealed that intraoperative blood loss was significantly associated with body mass index(BMI) (β=5.072, P=0.020), and the consistency of surgical approach between initial and secondary procedures (β=-25.301, P=0.035).Multivariate logistic regression identified perioperative antithrombotic drug use as an independent risk factor for postoperative bleeding (OR=12.120, P=0.005), while intraoperative drainage tube placement served as a protective factor (OR=0.139, P=0.008).

Conclusion

Intraoperative bleeding risk in recurrent inguinal hernia repair is significantly influenced by the secondary surgical approach and BMI.Perioperative antithrombotic drug use and drainage tube placement are critical factors affecting postoperative hematoma complications.

中华疝和腹壁外科杂志(电子版). 2025, (02):  167-171.  DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-392X.2025.02.009
Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1338KB) ( )   Save

Objective

To investigate the anatomical exposure advantages, safety, and functional prognosis of the right main working port combined with short gastric vessels (SGV) disconnection technique in laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

Methods

Retrospective analysis was conducted in 28 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or hiatal hernia (HH) who underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication at Chengdu Third People's Hospital from April 2020 to June 2023.The surgeon stood on the right side of the patient, using a five-port technique.By retracting the posterior gastric wall and vertically aligning the SGV with the splenic upper pole vessels, precise SGV disconnection was achieved.Perioperative indicators (operative time, blood loss, complications) and postoperative functional recovery (reflux control, dysphagia, GERD-HRQL questionnaire scores) were evaluated.

Results

All 28 patients successfully completed the procedure.The mean total operative time was (123.89±23.48) min,with mean SGV disconnection time of (11.14±3.51) min, and median intraoperative blood loss of 5 (5, 10)ml.No splenic injury, gastric perforation, or conversion to open surgery occurred.No postoperative dysphagia for full liquids occurred 3 day after surgery.GERD-HRQL questionnaire scores at 3 months after surgery significantly decreased compared to preoperative scores [(6.68±0.82) vs.(11.07±2.62),P<0.001].Overweight/obese patients (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) showed no significant differences in operative time or blood loss compared to non-overweight patients [(119.28±4.55) min vs.(132.2±9.11) min,P=0.226; (10.00±5.27) ml vs.(7.78±4.61) ml, P=0.256].

Conclusion

The right main working port combined with SGV disconnection optimizes anatomical exposure, reduces splenic injury risk, and achieves favorable reflux control, particularly in obese patients and complex hiatal hernia cases.However,multicenter randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate its long-term efficacy.

Analysis of the causes of bleeding and safety evaluation in day surgery for inguinal hernia patients
Linxiang He, Yuehui Chen, Wei Zhang, Hong Liu, Xuehu Wang, Yu Zhao
中华疝和腹壁外科杂志(电子版). 2025, (02):  172-177.  DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-392X.2025.02.010
Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1706KB) ( )   Save

Objective

To analyze the factors associated with surgery-related bleeding in day surgery for inguinal hernia patients and evaluate the impact of bleeding on the safety of day surgery.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 1,328 patients who underwent day surgery for inguinal hernia in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2023 and January 2025.The correlations between surgery-related bleeding and factors such as baseline characteristics, surgical approach, chronic medical history, presence of scrotal hernia, history of preperitoneal surgery, recurrent hernia, surgical site, and preoperative use of anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications were analyzed.Chi-square tests were used to screen for bleeding-related risk factors, followed by logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors.

Results

Among the 1,328 patients undergoing inguinal hernia day surgery, postoperative bleeding occurred in 40 cases (3.012%).Three patients required conversion from laparoscopy to open surgery to achieve hemostasis, with intraoperative findings revealing bleeding from the distal spermatic artery in scrotal hernia cases.The remaining patients were successfully managed conservatively without blood transfusions or reoperation.Both Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses indicated that scrotal hernia, history of preperitoneal surgery, recurrent hernia, and preoperative use of antiplatelet medications were significantly associated with surgery-related bleeding(P<0.001).The OR values (95% CI) were 6.20 (2.73-14.08), 19.77 (6.81-57.42), 10.35 (4.13-25.97), and 8.56 (3.63-20.20), respectively.

Conclusion

Scrotal hernia, history of preperitoneal surgery, recurrent hernia, and preoperative use of antiplatelet medications are independent risk factors for bleeding in day surgery for inguinal hernia.These factors may delay patient discharge but rarely lead to severe complications when strict clinical protocols are followed.Preoperative reasonable adjustment of antiplatelet regimens, and selection of appropriate, individualized surgical approaches are critical to ensuring the safety of day surgery for inguinal hernia patients.

Objective

To explore the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) versus Lichtenstein hernia repair.

Methods

This study used a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial, a total of 130 male patients with unilateral primary inguinal hernia who were admitted to the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of the Second Hospital of Jilin University from March 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into the TAPP group and the Lichtenstein group by random number table method.The TAPP group underwent laparoscopic TAPP repair, and the Lichtenstein group underwent Lichtenstein hernia repair.Both groups used self-gripping meshes.The operation time, postoperative time out of bed, postoperative hospital stay, hospital costs and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.

Results

Of the 130 patients, 126 patients (63 each in the TAPP and Lichtenstein groups) completed follow-up.The average postoperative time out of bed for the TAPP group was earlier than that in the Lichtenstein group (P<0.001), and the early postoperative pain in patients in the TAPP group was less than that in the Lichtenstein group on postoperative 1 day (P<0.001), 1 week (P<0.001) and 1 month (z=-2.320,P=0.02).However, the average operation time for the TAPP group was longer than that in the Lichtenstein group, and the average hospital costs was more than that in the Lichtenstein group (P<0.001).There was no significant difference in postoperative complications such as seroma, incision infection, local foreign body sensation, chronic pain and recurrence between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Self-gripping mesh is safe and reliable in both TAPP and Lichtenstein hernia repair.Each procedure has its own indications,advantages and disadvantages, so we should choose the appropriate surgical method for individualized treatment according to the specific conditions of the patient.

Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1522KB) ( )   Save

Objective

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of totally endoscopic sublay repair (TES) in comparison to laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM)for individuals with small to medium ventral hernias, while also investigating the socio-economic benefits,enhancements in postoperative quality of life, and patient satisfaction associated with TES.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 88 patients who underwent ventral hernia repair at Shaoxing Central Hospital between May 2019 and November 2023, including 39 patients treated with IPOM and 49 with TES.Patients were divided into an IPOM group and a TES group based on the type of surgery they underwent.The general baseline characteristics, such as age, gender, body mass index, surgical time,postoperative pain, hospitalization costs, and discharge satisfaction scores were compared between the two groups.Postoperative quality of life was assessed through outpatient or telephone follow-ups.

Results

There were no significant disparities in the baseline characteristics between the groups (P>0.05).The The surgery time for the TES group (207.17±40.13 minutes) was significantly longer than that for the IPOM group(165.74±36.98 minutes, P<0.05), but the visual analog scores for pain on the first day (3.26±1.13 vs 4.38±1.25, P<0.001) and the second day (2.78±0.86 vs 3.67±0.96, P<0.001) post-operation were lower.Additionally, the hospitalization costs were significantly reduced (14,300±3,600 yuan vs 36,600±9,400 yuan, P<0.001), and the total postoperative drainage volume was less (126.57±65.84 ml vs 234.98±125.68 ml, P<0.001).The incidence of complications was lower in the TES group compared to the IPOM group,with a statistically significant difference (6/49 vs 12/39, P=0.032).Six-month postoperative follow-up showed that patients in the TES group had better overall quality of life (2.51±0.41 vs 2.69±0.43, P<0.05)and overall satisfaction at 15 days (4.17±0.58 vs 3.85±0.75, P<0.05) compared to the IPOM group, with statistically significant differences.The average follow-up time was 18 months, with 1 case of delayed intestinal fistula and 2 cases of chronic pain in the TES group; There were 5 cases of chronic pain and no delayed intestinal fistula in the IPOM group.

Conclusion

TES and IPOM have comparable safety and efficacy.Although TES has a longer surgical time, it shows advantages in postoperative quality of life,patient satisfaction, and economic benefits.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 234 elderly patients with inguinal hernia who underwent surgical treatment at Shijingshan Hospital in Beijing between September 2020 and September 2023.Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach 120 patients received TAPP (TAPP group), and 114 patients underwent Lichtenstein repair (Lichtenstein group).The two groups were compared in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative pain assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS) at 1 week and 1 month after surgery.Postoperative complications and recurrence rates within a 12-month follow-up period were also recorded and analyzed.

Results

There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in operative time or 12-month recurrence rates (P>0.05).However, the TAPP group showed significantly lower postoperative pain scores and a lower incidence of surgical complications compared to the Lichtenstein group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Compared with the Lichtenstein technique, TAPP offers comparable outcomes in terms of operative time and recurrence rate, while providing significant advantages in reducing postoperative pain and complications.When selecting the surgical approach, factors such as the surgeon's proficiency in laparoscopic techniques, clinical experience, and patient preference should be comprehensively considered to determine the most appropriate method.

Juan Liu, Xiufeng Liu, Chen Zhang
中华疝和腹壁外科杂志(电子版). 2025, (02):  210-213.  DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-392X.2025.02.017
Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1451KB) ( )   Save

Objective

To evaluate the effects of intravenous versus intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive function and agitation in elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic tension-free inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia, and to compare the clinical outcomes of the two administration methods.

Methods

This prospective study included 440 elderly patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from February to December 2024.Patients were randomly assigned, using a computer-generated randomization method, to either the intravenous group (IV group, n=220) or the intranasal group (NA group, n=220).The IV group received 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine via intravenous injection before anesthesia, while the NA group received 2 μg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine.Postoperative cognitive function, agitation, adverse events, and anesthesia recovery time were compared between the two groups.

Results

At 5, 15, and 30 minutes after awakening, Ramsay sedation scores were significantly lower in the IV group compared to the NA group (P<0.01).No significant difference in preoperative cognitive impairment rates was observed between the groups (P>0.05).However, the incidence of cognitive dysfunction on postoperative day 1 and day 3 was significantly lower in the IV group than in the NA group (P<0.001).There was no significant difference in anesthesia recovery time between the IV and NA groups [(15.2±3.6) min vs (16.2±4.1) min, P>0.05].Additionally, no significant differences were observed between the groups in the incidence of adverse events such as hypotension,bradycardia, or nausea and vomiting (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine is superior to intranasal administration in protecting postoperative cognitive function and reducing agitation in elderly patients undergoing hernia repair, with comparable effects on anesthesia recovery time and adverse event profiles.Intravenous dexmedetomidine may thus be a more effective option in postoperative management, particularly for cognitive protection in elderly patients.

Objective

To study the effect of general anesthesia with S(+)-ketamine and sufentanil on intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative spontaneous recovery in children undergoing laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac.

Methods

A total of 88 children who underwent laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac in Linquan County People's Hospital from February 2022 to May 2023 were selected and divided into observation group and control group with 44 cases in each group by the random number table method.Both groups underwent laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac under intravenous-inhalation general anesthesia.The anesthesia induction regimen in the observation group was cis-atracurium (0.05 mg/kg),propofol (3 mg/kg), S(+)-ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) and anisodamine (0.1 mg/kg) intravenous drip, while the control group was changed from S(+)-ketamine to sufentanil (0.2 μg/kg) intravenous drip, and sevoflurane was used to maintain anesthesia in both groups.Perioperative indicators, hemodynamics, the Chinese version face, legs, activity, cry, consolability behavioral tool scale score, postoperative recovery quality and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

Results

The heart rate (HR) immediately after tracheal intubation (T2) was significantly increased in both groups (P<0.05), and the mean arterial pressure (MAP)from T2 to immediately after the end of surgery (T5) was significantly increased (P<0.05).HR at T2 in observation group was lower than that in control group, and MAP at T2-T5 was lower than that in control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The proportion of remedial analgesia at 24 hours after surgery was lower in observation group than that in control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The postoperative spontaneous breathing recovery time, anesthesia recovery time and incidence rate of recovery agitation in observation group were lower compared with those in control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence rates of adverse reactions such as bradycardia, hypotension and nausea and vomiting between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion

The application of S(+)-ketamine for general anesthesia in children undergoing laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac is beneficial to maintaining perioperative hemodynamic stability, enhancing postoperative analgesia effect, shortening anesthesia recovery time and reducing the risk of recovery agitation.

Objective

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive laparoscopy and traditional open component separation technique (CST) in the treatment of adult (≥18 years of age)abdominal wall hernia.

Methods

PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, VIP information Chinese periodical database, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang Med Online were searched from the establishment of the database to August 1, 2023, and the language of literature was not limited.All controlled clinical trials comparing minimally invasive laparoscopic with traditional open CST for abdominal wall hernia in adults were collected.The data were extracted and cross-checked by two reviewers independently according to the pre-established inclusion criteria.The statistical analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software provided by the Cochrane website.

Results

A total of 12 articles involving 754 patients were included in this study.Meta-analysis results showed that the minimally invasive laparoscopic CST group was better than the traditional open CST group in terms of postoperative recurrence rate (OR=0.59, 95% CI 0.38-0.92, P=0.02), postoperative complication rate (OR=0.19, 95% CI 0.10-0.34, P<0.000 01), intraoperative blood loss (MD=-45.81, 95% CI -61.56--30.06, P<0.000 01) and postoperative hospital stay (MD=-2.15, 95% CI -3.63--0.67, P=0.004), the differences were statistically significant.However, the operation time of the minimally invasive laparoscopic CST group was longer than that of the traditional open CST group (MD=16.13, 95% CI 2.77-29.48, P=0.02), the difference was statistically significant.

Conclusion

Compared with traditional open CST, minimally invasive laparoscopic CST has advantages in postoperative recurrence rate, postoperative complications, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay, but its operation time is slightly longer.
