Comparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Transabdominal Pre-Peritoneal Vs Open Tension-Free Hernia Repair in Treating Inguinal Hernia

Objective:To investigate and analyze the clinical outcomes of inguinal hernia patients treated with transabdominal pre-peritoneal repair(TAPP)versus open tension-free hernia repair.Methods:The study was carried out from January 2021 to August 2023,and a total of 50 inguinal hernia patients were selected for this study.The patients were randomly divided into a study group(n=25)and a control group(n=25)by the numerical table method.The patients in the control group were treated with open tension-free hernia repair,whereas the patients in the study group were treated with TAPP.The surgical and postoperative recovery indexes,complication rates,and recurrence rates of the two groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference in the operative time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups(P>0.05),and the postoperative feeding time,time out of bed,and hospitalization time of the study group were shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05);the incidence rate of postoperative complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);and there was no significant difference in the recurrence rate of the two groups after operation(P>0.05).Conclusion:Compared to open tension-free hernia repair,TAPP offers a shorter postoperative recovery duration and hospitalization time,and reduces the incidence of complications.Therefore,this surgical method should be popularized in the treatment of inguinal hernia.

The Effect of Tension-Free Herniorrhaphy in the Preperitoneal Space on the Treatment of Hernia

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of tension-free herniorrhaphy in the preperitoneal space in patients with hernia.Methods:The study period was from January 2020 to December 2022.198 samples of hernia patients admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into a research group(n=99)and a control group(n=99).Patients in the control group underwent tension-free herniorrhaphy with plain films,and patients in the study group underwent tension-free herniorrhaphy in the preperitoneal space.The surgical and postoperative recovery-related indicators,incidence of complications,and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The intraoperative and postoperative recovery indexes of the study group were better than those of the control group(P<0.05);the incidence of complications in the study group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Tension-free herniorrhaphy in the preperitoneal space shortens the operation and postoperative recovery time of hernia patients and reduces the incidence of postoperative complications,so it should be popularized.

Urethral complications after tension-free vaginal tape procedures:A surgical management case series

AIM： To analyze the clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and the surgical management of urethral complications after tension-free vaginal tape procedures.METHODS： This study encompasses a retrospective review of nine patients presented with urethral complic-ations after midurethral sling procedures. The patients underwent the procedures during a period from 1999 to 2012 in three different regional hospitals in the southwest part of Sweden. The time from sling placement to diagnosis, the risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, surgical management, and functional outcome are presented. The presenting symptoms were described as either early onset （〈 12 mo） or late onset （〉 12 mo） according to when they were frst reported.RESulTS： Eight cases of urethral erosion and one case of bladder-neck erosion were detected. The mean interval for diagnoses of the erosions ranged from 3 mo to 11 years. The most common presenting symptoms included de novo urgency with or without incontinence （7/9 patients）, urinary retention/voiding dysfunction （4/9 patients）, urethritis （4/9 patients）, relapse of stress-incontinence （3/9 patients）, recurrent urinary tract infections （5/9 patients）, and hematuria （1/9 patient）. In most cases, voiding dysfunction and urethritis occurred early after the operation. The surgical management applied in most cases was transurethral resection of the intraurethral part of the mesh. The removal of the intraurethral mesh resulted in improvement or complete cure of urgency symptoms in 5/7 patients with urgency. Four patients were reoperated with a new stress-incontinence surgery, one with laparoscopic Burch, and three with retropubic tension-free vaginal tape procedures. COnCluSIOn： Urethral complications should be suspected in the case of de novo urgency and relapse of stress-incontinence. Transurethral excision of the intraurethral mesh is the recommended treatment.

POSTOPERATIVE EVALUATION OF TENSION-FREE VAGINAL TAPE PROCEDURE

Objective To study the outcome of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women with cystocele. Methods Forty-two patients with SUI confirmed by urodynamics underwent the TVT procedure under local anesthesia. A prolapse repair was done simultaneously. Results Mean TVT operation time was 26.29 minutes. Mean blood loss was 29.86 mL. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were able to micturate spontaneously within 12 hours and residual urine was less than 100 mL. And 12% of the patients had to use indwelling catheter for 3-11 days. Average hospital stay was 2.91 days. Eighty-eight percent of patients were discharged within 2 days. All patients were followed up (an average of 10.26 months). According to subjective and objective assessment of the outcome, 39 patients (93%) were cured, another 3 patients (7%) were significantly improved and none was failed. There were no major complications such as bladder injury occurred. Conclusion TVT procedure is a minimal invasive, effective, and safe surgery for treatment of SUI.

Analysis of Ultrasound-guided Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric Nerve Block in Tension-Free Inguinal Hernia Repair in Elderly Patients

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block(IINB)in tension-free inguinal hernia repair in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 70 elderly patients with tension-free inguinal hernia repair who treated in the hospital from April 2018 to November 2019 were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method,with 35 cases each.The control group underwent infiltration of local anesthesia(LA),and the study group added with IINB.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of the two groups of patients were compared.Results:The VAS score of the study group when pulling the hernia sac was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:IINB has good analgesic effect in tensionfree inguinal hernia repair in elderly patients,and it is worth promoting.

Analysis of the Effect and Efficiency of Tension- Free Hernia Repair and Traditional Surgery in The Treatment of Hernia

Objective: To analyze the efficiency of tension-free hernia repair and traditional surgery in the treatment of hernia. Methods: A total of 80 patients with hernias were selected and randomly into a control group (traditional hernia repair) and an observation group (tension-free hernia repair), of 40 cases each. The perioperative indicators, pain, physiological stress indicators, complications, and recurrence rates between the two groups were compared. Results: The perioperative indexes of the observation group were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The postoperative pain score, postoperative physiological stress index level, incidence of complications, and recurrence rate of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In the surgical treatment of hernia, tension-free hernia repair was less traumatic and had a better effect than traditional hernia repair.

Comparing the effects of Bassini versus tension-freehernioplasty: 3 years’ follow-up

In order to compare the effects of Bassini and tension-free mesh hernioplasty,a total of 552 patients with inguinal hernia who were subjected to surgical treatment in our hospital were randomly divided into the following two groups:the Bassini group(n=269)and the tension-free mesh group(n=283).The recurrence rates,pain,dis-comfort,and other complications were recorded,and the causes of the complications were explored.The recurrence rate in the Bassini group was 8.9%(24/269),significantly higher than that in the tension-free repair group(2.8%,8/283).In addition,the recurrence rates in the Bassini and tension-free groups before 2004 were 12.6%and 5.6%,respectively,which were markedly higher than the rates after 2004(5.3%and 0.7%,respectively).The rate of post-operative discomfort and pain within thefirst three months was higher in the Bassini group compared to the tension-free group(25.7%vs 18.5%,respectively).However,there was no difference after three months in the rate of post-operative discomfort and pain,incidence of infection,or scrotal edema between the two groups.The average hospital stay in the Bassini group was longer than that in the tension-free repair group(7.6�1.2 vs 4.5�2.2 days,respectively),but the cost was lower(4518.0�510 vs 6221.3�578 yuan,respectively).Thus,tension-free mesh hernioplasty is indicated for most inguinal hernia patients due to the low recurrence rate,rapid recovery time,and treatment success,but the traditional Bassini procedure has lower cost and other beneficial effects and is still suitable for some patients.

Efficacy and postoperative complication of tension-free vaginal tape-Secur for female stress urinary incontinence

Background As the third-generation tension-free tape for female stress urinary incontinence （SUI）, tension-free vaginal tape （TVT）-Secur has decreased the common complications associated with TVT and tension-free vaginal tape-transobturator （TVT-O）, such as bladder perforation and obstruction of the bladder outlet; but its efficacy and persistence were still controversial. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate and compare the postoperative efficacy and complication at different follow-up time.Methods Patients with SUI, who underwent lVT-Secur treatment in two hospitals from October 2008 to October 2009,were selected. By analyzing preoperative and intraoperative data and postoperative complications, the therapeutic effect and satisfaction at different follow-up stages were evaluated.Results A total of 30 female patients participated in this study. Patients were scheduled for follow-up at the 1st month,3rd month, 6th month and 12th month, while the cure rate was 83.3% （25 patients）, 66.7% （20 patients）, 63.3% （19patients） and 60.0% （18 patients） respectively and the overactive bladder （OAB） symptoms appeared in 11 patients （36.7%）, 10 patients （33.3%）, 6 patients （20%） and 7 patients （23.3%） respectively.Conclusion With the follow-up time becoming longer, TVT-Secur has a high recurrence rate of SUI, the therapeutic effect from the 3rd month to the 12th month is relatively persistent.

Inside out transobturator vaginal tape versus tention-free vaginal tape for primary female stress urinary incontinence： meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background Inside out transobturator vaginal tape （TVT-O） and tension-free vaginal tape （TVT） are predominant surgical treatments for female stress urinary incontinence. This meta-analysis evaluated the complications and cure rates of TVT-O versus TVT. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted according to the Cochrane Collaboration methodology to identify randomized controlled clinical trials with no language restriction. Two authors independently assessed papers for eligibility and methodological quality. Estimates were measured by relative risk with 95% confidence intervals. Outcome measures were objective cure, subjective cure and complications. Quality rating for each outcome of the meta-analysis and recommendations were performed by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation （GRADE） system. Results Twenty randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria, and a pooled estimate of effectiveness and complications was made. Relative risks with 95% confidence intervals for pooled effects under the fixed effects model were： 0.20 （0.09-0.45）, for bladder injury, 0.37 （0.16-0.86） for hematoma, and 2.35 （1.57-3.51） for postoperative pain, suggesting an 80% risk reduction of bladder injury, 63% risk reduction of hematoma, and a 1.35% risk elevation for postoperative pain with TVT-O. There was no significant difference between complications of urinary tract infection 1.14 （0.78-1.65）, lower urinary tract symptoms 1.60 （0.67-3.79）, recatheterization 0.93 （0.59-1.44）, and tape erosion 0.90 （0.48-1.67）, total objective cure rate 1.06 （0.39-2.84） and for the subjective cure rate 0.98 （0.93-1.04）. The quality rating for each outcome and recommendations was high for objective cure, bladder injury, hematoma, lower urinary tract symptoms, and tape erosion and moderate for subjective cure, pain, and urinary tract infection. Conclusions TVT-O is associated with a reduced risk of bladder injury and hematoma and an elevated risk of postoperative pain. Other complications, including tape erosion,urinary tract infection, lower urinary tract symptoms, and recatheterization, are similar to those of TVT.
