Summary

The most common symptom after an inguinal hernia is postoperative pain. According to the severity of the pain, the quality of life of the patient is also affected.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair

It is made through 3 holes, 10 mm optical port from the umbilicus, and 5 mm ports each from the right and left lower quadrants. The peritoneum is opened a few cm above the defect in the form of an arc. Dissection of the peritoneum, first lateral and then medial to the defect, is performed. It is continued until the pubic bone is found medially and the periphery of the bone is released. The dissection of the cord elements and the sac is completed. Posterior dissection is a very important step to avoid recurrence. Here, the peritoneum is thoroughly dissected posteriorly, the ductus deferens and vessels are removed from the peritoneum so that no recurrence occurs under the patch. 1-2 to the pubic tubercle, 3-5 to the upper edge of the patch, to the upper edge. Staples at the upper edge should remain above the iliopubic tract, no staples should be placed below. The patch is closed by overlapping the peritoneal leaves so that the patch is not visible.
