To compare and analyze the practical value of laparoscopic preperitoneal hernioplasty and Lichtenstein patch hernioplasty in the treatment of inguinal hernia.

From September 2016 to March 2018, 88 patients with inguinal hernia admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Ziyang City were enrolled in the study. They were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method. Laparoscopic preperitoneal hernioplasty was performed in the study group and Lichtenstein hernioplasty in the control group. Relevant data of operation, recovery and adverse reactions were recorded in the two groups.

The operation time of the study group was significantly shorter than that of the control group and the treatment cost of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the amount of intraoperative bleeding between the two groups (P>0.05). The first time out of bed after operation, the first time to eat after operation and the hospital stay after operation in the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The incidence of scrotal edema (0.00%), pain and foreign body sensation (0.00%) was significantly lower than those of the control group (11.36%, 11.36%, 13.64%, respectively).

Laparoscopic preperitoneal hernioplasty is effective in the treatment of inguinal hernia, which is conducive to ensuring the short-term prognosis of patients.
