          Abstract

          Objetivos: La recidiva continúa siendo la más frecuente complicación tardía de las herniorrafias inguinales primarias; estas tasas son aún mayores cuando se actúa sobre las hernias recidivadas. En el presente estudio prospectivo, observacional, descriptivo, damos cuenta de nuestros resultados en una serie de pacientes intervenidos en forma electiva, en el Centro de Hernias del CRS Cordillera, entre los años 1998 y 2009 por hernias inguinales recidivadas. Material y Métodos: La cirugía se efectuó, con anestesia local asistida, en forma ambulatoria, tras una adecuada selección de los pacientes y firma de un consentimiento informado. Se intervinieron 70 pacientes, 59 varones y 11 mujeres con una edad promedio de 56,2 ± 13,9 años. Se usó profilaxis antibiótica y de la trombosis venosa profunda. Resultados: La duración promedio de la cirugía fue de 54 ± 25,3 min. Se efectuó reparación tisular en 12 y protésica en 48 casos. El conducto deferente se seccionó en forma accidental en un caso. En el postoperatorio hubo un hematoma y 2 infecciones superficiales que se trataron ambulatoriamente. El seguimiento alejado a un promedio de 9 (4-14) años se efectuó en el 79% de la serie, detectándose 2 recidivas (3,5%) y un caso de inguinodinia leve. Las 2 recurrencias se apreciaron en las reparaciones con técnica de Lichtenstein (4,2%). El 92% de los enfermos refirió estar satisfecho o muy satisfecho con el procedimiento. Conclusiones: La reparación ambulatoria con anestesia local, en manos expertas, es una alternativa a ser considerada en el tratamiento de las hernias inguinales recidivadas.

          Background: Recurrence is the most common long term complication of inguinal hernia repair. aim: To report the experience of ambulatory treatment of hernia recurrence. Patients and Methods: Seventy patients aged 56 ± 14 years (59 men), with a low surgical risk and a body mass index below 40 kg/m² were admitted to the program. The surgical repair of the hernia was performed under local anesthesia on an ambulatory basis. All patients received antibiotic and prophylaxis for venous thrombosis. Results: The surgical procedure lasted 54 ± 25 minutes. A tissue repair was performed in 12 cases and a prosthetic one in 48. The ductus deferens was accidentally sectioned in one case. The postoperative complications were one hematoma which did not require surgery and two superficial infections that healed in an ambulatory basis. A long term follow up, for 9.3 ± 1.9 years after surgery was possible in 79% of cases. Two recurrences (3.5%) were observed and one patient complained of a light, intermittent pain in the inguinal region. There were two recurrences after tissue repair, both occurring after a Lichtenstein repair (4.2%). Ninety two percent of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure. Conclusion: Ambulatory treatment of recurrent hernias is feasible and safe.

          Open mesh versus laparoscopic mesh repair of inguinal hernia.

          Repair of inguinal hernias in men is a common surgical procedure, but the most effective surgical technique is unknown. We randomly assigned men with inguinal hernias at 14 Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers to either open mesh or laparoscopic mesh repair. The primary outcome was recurrence of hernias at two years. Secondary outcomes included complications and patient-centered outcomes. Of the 2164 patients who were randomly assigned to one of the two procedures, 1983 underwent an operation; two-year follow-up was completed in 1696 (85.5 percent). Recurrences were more common in the laparoscopic group (87 of 862 patients [10.1 percent]) than in the open group (41 of 834 patients [4.9 percent]; odds ratio, 2.2; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.5 to 3.2). The rate of complications was higher in the laparoscopic-surgery group than in the open-surgery group (39.0 percent vs. 33.4 percent; adjusted odds ratio, 1.3; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 1.6). The laparoscopic-surgery group had less pain initially than the open-surgery group on the day of surgery (difference in mean score on a visual-analogue scale, 10.2 mm; 95 percent confidence interval, 4.8 to 15.6) and at two weeks (6.1 mm; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.7 to 10.5) and returned to normal activities one day earlier (adjusted hazard ratio for a shorter time to return to normal activities, 1.2; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 1.3). In prespecified analyses, there was a significant interaction between the surgical approach (open or laparoscopic) and the type of hernia (primary or recurrent) (P=0.012). Recurrence was significantly more common after laparoscopic repair than after open repair of primary hernias (10.1 percent vs. 4.0 percent), but rates of recurrence after repair of recurrent hernias were similar in the two groups (10.0 percent and 14.1 percent, respectively). The open technique is superior to the laparoscopic technique for mesh repair of primary hernias. Copyright 2004 Massachusetts Medical Society

            Mesh compared with non-mesh methods of open groin hernia repair: systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

            (2000)
            Open tension-free methods of groin hernia repair have been widely adopted despite little rigorous evaluation. Information was assimilated from all randomized or quasi-randomized trials comparing open mesh with open non-mesh methods to assess benefits and safety. Electronic databases were searched and members of the EU Hernia Trialists Collaboration consulted to identify trials. Prespecified data items were extracted from reports, and quantitative or, if not possible, qualitative meta-analysis was performed. Fifteen eligible trials, which included 4005 participants, were identified. There were similar numbers of complications in each group, with few data to address short-term pain and length of stay in hospital. Return to usual activities was quicker in the mesh group for seven of ten trials (P not significant). There were fewer reported recurrences in the mesh groups: overall 21 (1.4 per cent) of 1513 versus 72 (4.4 per cent) of 1634 (odds ratio 0.39 (95 per cent confidence interval 0.25-0. 59); P < 0.001). Although the rigorous search maximized trial identification, formal meta-analysis was limited by the variation in trial reporting. Within the data available, mesh repair was associated with fewer recurrences.

              An anatomic and functional classification for the diagnosis and treatment of inguinal hernia.

              A simple classification of inguinal hernias is presented which can be valuable to surgeons as a (1) blueprint for dissecting the canal, (2) means for choosing the most appropriate operative procedure, (3) means for evaluating and correlating the prognosis of postoperative symptoms, time of convalescence, and degree of disability, and (4) method of identifying and communicating the exact anatomic derangement found so that accurate and consistent follow-up studies and statistics can be prepared. Diligent follow-up is essential for verifying the true results of hernia surgery techniques. Such follow-up requires that the surgeon be dedicated to examining his patients for many years, as well as to understanding, recording, and referencing the exact anatomic and functional defects found and the repairs used to correct them. Only with these factors identified and recorded can there be a basis for meaningful reporting and valuable conclusions. The classification of inguinal hernias presented here is intended to provide surgeons an opportunity to better evaluate their own methods and to more clearly communicate results with colleagues. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "Many times ideas grow better when they are transplanted from one mind to another."
