Summary

Inguinal hernia is one of the most-common surgical conditions. Incidence is about 27% in males and 3% in females.The treatment of this condition is inguinal hernia repair operation which can be approached with several techniques; open hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair and robotic hernia repair. The current guidelines recommend the hernia repair operation with mesh placement either Lichtenstenstein operation or laparoscopic technique; transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal technique (TEP). In the laparoscopic approach, one of the complications that can occur is post-operative pain from the mesh fixator. So the self-gripping mesh becomes another option to decrease this incidence.However the adhesive property of the mesh is still challenging for many surgeons. Several techniques of self-gripping mesh placement were introduced. One of the popular techniques is bilateral vertical folding of self-gripping mesh which still causes some adhesive problems when introduced to the target area. This research's aim is to present a new technique of the self-gripping mesh placement which is more effective, more convenient, and decreases the time taken to place the mesh at the surgery site.

Conditions

  • Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

Interventions

OTHER

self-gripping mesh placement with plastic sheath in laparoscopic inguinal hernia

to apply these to the mesh graft placement process. In the first step, plastic sheaths self-gripping mesh placement with plastic sheathwere prepared configuration with the standard 9cmx15cm self-gripping mesh. Then the meshes were folded and unfolded over or under the plastic sheaths.
