Abstract

"Introduction: According to historical data treatment of inguinal hernia is one of the first surgical interventions made by human worldwide, annually operating around one million patients, applying different operating techniques Object of the paper: To make a comparison of the results in patients with inguinal hernia operated by the Lichtenstein method using SURGIPRO PARIETENE MESH AND LIGHT PARIETENE MESH, in the incidence of post-operative pain, post-operative wound infection, time of post mobilization and days of hospitalization. Material and Methods: This study analyzed 50 patients with inguinal hernia operated in the period between 01.01 - 31.12. 2013, ate the unit for digestive surgery at MOB ""September 8"" in Skopje. Of these, 25 patients are inserted with SURGIPRO mesh, and 25 with LIGHT meshes. All patients were operated under general anesthesia with the Lichtenstein method. Results: This paper is a comparative study involving 50 subjects with inguinal hernia. Of these, at surgery in 25 (N1) patients are embedded Light - meshes, and 25 (N2) Surgipro meshes. Regarding age there is no statistically significant difference between the patients from both groups (Mann-Whitney U Test: Z = - 0,951 p = 0,3417) The VAS - scale of 1 to 10 patients in the first group N1 postoperative day confirmed present Boca average volume of 3,20 ± 1,0 and patients confirmed the presence of N2 on average volume of 3 88 ± 1,33. The difference in terms of days of hospitalization was statistically significant in relation to the occurrence of infection; there is no statistically significant difference between both groups. Keywords: inguinal hernia, surgical meshes, operational techniques "
