Event Description
It was reported via journal article: ¿title: inguinal hernia repair with parietex progrip mesh causes minimal discomfort and allows early return to normal activities¿ authors: pikli batabyal, m.B.B.S.; richard l.Haddad, f.R.A.C.S.; jaswinder s.Samra, d.Phil., f.R.C.S., f.R.A.C.S.; simon wickins, m.B.B.S.; edmund sweeney, f.A.N.Z.C.A.; thomas j.Hugh, m.D., f.R.A.C.S.Citation: the american journal of surgery.2016; 211: 24 30.Doi: http://dx.Doi.Org/10.1016/j.Amjsurg.2015.04.019.The type of inguinal hernia repair used depends on many factors but predominantly the surgeon¿s training, interpretation of the literature, and personal preference.This prospective cohort study describes a consecutive series of open mesh inguinal hernia repairs (modified lichtenstein technique) performed as an outpatient procedure using 2 different mesh types.A total of 540 patients underwent inguinal hernia repair.Primary hernia repairs were performed in 92% of the patients while the remaining 8% underwent repair of the recurrent hernia.During the surgical procedure, polypropylene mesh was fixed with polypropylene 2-0 permanent sutures (ethicon) in 299 patients and parietex progrip mesh was fixed with polydioxanone 2-0 absorbable sutures (ethicon) in 241 patients.Reported complications included cellulitis/wound infection (2.6%), spermatic cord hematoma (1.9%), urinary retention (.6%), epididymitis (.4%), scrotal swelling (.2%), per rectal bleeding (.2%), and hydrocele (.2%).It was concluded that an open anterior inlay mesh repair is safe and results in minimal postoperative pain and early return to normal activities.Progrip mesh resulted in a shorter operative time and more rapid return to normal activities compared with polypropylene mesh.
