Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Incidence of inguinal hernia has been increasing, with 500,000 new cases every year. Most surgeons prefer open hernia repair techniques; however, more recently, both surgeons and patients have begun to prefer minimally invasive techniques, which result in less pain, early work return, less incidence of infection, better cosmetic results, and better patient satisfaction. Aim of the Study: To compare Lichtenstein Hernioplasty under local anesthesia and Totally Extra peritoneal (TEP) Laparoscopic Inguinal hernias repair under general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the department of general surgery of the medical hospital. For the selection of study group we included adult male patients with an inguinal hernia presenting for treatment to the surgical OPD. A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The patietns were randomly grouped into two groups, Group 1 and Group 2. The patients in group 1 were allocated Lichtenstein Hernioplasty under local anesthesia and patients in group 2 were allocated totally extra peritoneal laparoscopic inguinal hernias repair under general Anesthesia. For the evaluation of the procedures we recorded the primary outcomes and Secondary outcome. Results: In the present study a total of 30 patients were included. Number of patients in group 1 and group 2 were 15 each. Mean age of the patients in group 1 was 44.38 years and in group 2 was 42.12 years. Baseline CRP of group 1 patients was 4.22 mg/dL and of group 2 patients was 4.16 mg/dL. The number of dissatisfied patients was more in group 1 as compared to group 2. Conclusion: Lichtenstein Hernioplasty under local anesthesia and Totally Extra peritoneal (TEP) Laparoscopic Inguinal hernias repair are both very efficient surgical procedure for management of inguinal hernia. TEP laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is more satisfactory to patients as compared to Lichtenstein Hernioplasty.
