Comparison of Common Postoperative Complications Between Lichtenstein Open Repair and Laparoscopic Transabdominal Pre-peritoneal (TAPP) Repair for Unilateral Inguinal Hernia

Introduction Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair is a minimally invasive technique that is becoming the procedure of choice among surgeons for inguinal hernia repair and research work is still going on comparing TAPP repair with Lichtenstein open mesh repair.

description Introduction Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair is a minimally invasive technique that is becoming the procedure of choice among surgeons for inguinal hernia repair and research work is still going on comparing TAPP repair with Lichtenstein open mesh repair. The objective of our study is to compare common postoperative complications in Lichtenstein mesh repair and laparoscopic TAPP repair for unilateral inguinal hernia in our unit. Methods Between August 2016 and August 2018, patients with unilateral inguinal hernia and ASA grade I/II were selected in the surgical outpatient department (OPD) and prospectively randomized into two equal groups. Lichtenstein open mesh repair was done in Group-I and laparoscopic TAPP repair in Group-II. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used for the assessment of the intensity of pain. Results A total of 100 patients with a diagnosis of unilateral inguinal hernia were included in the study. Overall, our study showed that there was less postoperative pain in those patients who underwent TAPP repair as compared to patients with Lichtenstein mesh repair (p= <0.05). There were more postoperative complications in Group-I as compared to Group-II. Conclusion Laparoscopic TAPP repair for inguinal hernia is associated with less postoperative pain and other postoperative complications in addition to a shorter hospital stay as compared to Lichtenstein mesh repair. Thus, this is helping in the early return of patients to daily life activities.
