Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prospective study on Darning and Lichtenstein Mesh Hernioplasty in Inguinal Hernia Repair is a study of 61 cases of inguinal hernias which were treated by either open Inguinal hernia mesh repair (Lichtenstein) or darning repair. The study was conducted with an objective to compare the effectiveness of these procedures and complications if any. 61 cases of inguinal hernia admitted in Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangalore were selected on the basis of the non-probability (prospective) sampling method. All patients with uncomplicated direct and indirect hernias treated by darning or mesh repair were included. After preoperative preparation they were randomly chosen for darning or mesh repair. The age/sex incidence, mode of presentation, precipitating factors, surgical treatment and postoperative complications were all evaluated and compared with standard published literature. The total number of postoperative complications was reported in 13.9% patients, complications was high after Mesh repair when compared to Darning. Seroma was the most common complication followed by funiculitis and wound infection. There was one recurrence each noted till date in the two groups under study. Darn repair is equally effective and much less costly treatment for inguinal hernia than mesh repair which had more risk of infection.
