Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The Lichtenstein technique of meshplasty has pioneered the ambulatory surgery for inguinal hernia repair with standard way of securing the mesh in position on the posterior wall of inguinal canal is with polypropylene sutures. Methods: A total of 50 cases were operated under local anaesthesia for inguinal hernia as day surgery or ambulatory surgery with three stitch mesh anchoring technique. Results: We observe the mean operative time was 29.3+8.5 minutes. Whereas 70 % were pain free with local anesthesia only. Only 20 % of the patients complained of Post-op pain. Two patients developed hematoma and Seroma. Three patients developed wound site induration and infection. Only one patient stayed for 48 hrs that to due to complications. Conclusion: We conclude that three stitch mesh anchoring technique for inguinal hernia repair under local anesthesia is easy to learn and faster with less post-operative complication and early ambulation.
