          Abstract

          Objetivo: Caracterizar la reparación de las hernias inguinales según la técnica de Rutkow y Robbins (tapón y parche) con malla de polipropileno. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo donde se evaluaron 102 pacientes de la Consulta de Cirugía General, del Hospital Dr. Manuel Noriega Trigo, San Francisco, Venezuela con diagnóstico de hernia inguinal primaria, en el lapso de enero 2002 a 30 de septiembre 2005. Se practicaron 124 hernioplastias porque 11 pacientes presentaban hernias bilaterales. Se valoró sexo, edad, tipo de hernia, tiempo quirúrgico, dolor postoperatorio, período de estancia hospitalaria, reincorporación al trabajo habitual y complicaciones. Resultados: Del total de pacientes, 91 (89.2%) eran del sexo masculino y 11 (10.8%) del femenino. El promedio de edad fue 42.7±18.29, con un rango que oscilaba entre 12 y 82 años, el grupo etario más frecuente fue de 21 a 30 años (23.5%). En el sexo masculino predominó la hernia inguinal indirecta con 47 casos de los cuales 25.5% eran derechas y 20.6% izquierdas, en el sexo femenino prevaleció la hernia directa con 4 casos (3.9%). El tiempo quirúrgico tuvo un promedio de 32.18±6.42 minutos. El dolor postoperatorio se informó como molestia (33.3%) o leve (39.2%) en la mayoría de los casos, moderado en 8.8% y en ningún caso se supo de dolor severo. La estancia hospitalaria fue 23.41±3.8 horas, con cifras entre 3 y 40 horas; el reintegro al trabajo promedió 21.56±6.5 días (entre 10 y 40). Las complicaciones post-operatorias se presentaron en 6.9% de los pacientes: infección de la herida, 1%; hematoma, 1%; seromas, 2%; 1% neuralgia inguinal, 1%; y retención urinaria, 2%. Conclusión: Técnica rápida de ejecutar, poca morbilidad postoperatoria, corta estancia, pronto reintegro laboral y escasas complicaciones, por lo que demostró ser segura para la reparación de las hernias inguinales.

          Objective: To describe the repair process of inguinal hernias according to the Rutkow and Robbins technique (plug and patch) and polypropylene mesh. Methods: A descriptive study was performed on 102 patients attending to the Surgery Clinic at Hospital Dr. Manuel Noriega Trigo, San Francisco, Venezuela. Patients had a diagnosis of primary inguinal hernia during the period of January 2002 to September, 2005. 124 hernioplasties were practiced, 11 patients received surgery for bilateral hernias. Variables in this study included: sex, age, hernia type, surgical time, postoperation pain, period of hospital staying, time for returning to daily activities, and complications. Results: Ninety one males (89.2%) and eleven females (10.8%) were included in this study. Average age was of 42.7±18.29 years (Range, 12-82) and the more frequent age group lies between 21 to 30 years (23.5%). Inguinal indirect hernia was more common on males (n=47, 25.5% right side. 20.6% left side). The direct inguinal hernia was present on 4 females (3.9%). The duration of the surgical procedure was 32.18±6.42 minutes. Postoperative pain was reported as discomfort (33.3%), mild (39.2%), moderate (8.8%), and no patients reported severe pain. Duration of hospital stay was 23.41±3.8 hours (Range, 3 to 40 hours), time for returning to daily activities was 21.56±6.5 days (Range, 10 to 40). The postoperative complications presented on 6.9% of the patients: 1% wound infection, 1% hematoma, 2% seromas, 1% inguinal neuralgia and 2% urinary retention. Conclusion: This is a quick technique associated with little postoperative morbidity, short hospital stay, short time for returning to daily activities and rare complications. This technique proves to be safe for the repair of inguinal hernias.

          Repair of groin hernia with synthetic mesh: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

          (2002)
          To measure the effects of laparoscopic and open placement of synthetic mesh on recurrence and persisting pain following groin hernia repair. Synthetic mesh techniques are claimed to reduce the risk of recurrence but there are concerns about costs and possible long-term complications, particularly pain. Electronic databases were searched and experts consulted to identify randomized or quasi-randomized trials that compared mesh with non-mesh methods, or laparoscopic with open mesh placement. Individual patient data were sought for each trial. Aggregated data were used where individual patient data were not available. Meta-analyses of hernia recurrence and persisting pain were based on intention to treat. There were 62 relevant comparisons in 58 trials. These included 11,174 participants: individual patient data were available for 6,901 patients, supplementary aggregated data for 2,390 patients, and published data for 1883 patients. Recurrence and persisting pain were less after mesh repair (overall recurrences: 88 in 4,426 vs. 187 in 3,795; OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.34-0.55; P <.001) (overall persistent pain: 120 in 2,368 vs. 215 in 1,998; OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.29-0.46; P <.001), regardless of the non-mesh comparator. Whereas the reduction in recurrence was similar after laparoscopic and open mesh placement (OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.76-2.08; P =.36), persistent pain was less common after laparoscopic than open mesh placement (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.52-0.78; P <.001). The use of synthetic mesh substantially reduces the risk of hernia recurrence irrespective of placement method. Mesh repair appears to reduce the chance of persisting pain rather than increase it.

            Lichtenstein patch or Perfix plug-and-patch in inguinal hernia: a prospective double-blind randomized controlled trial of short-term outcome.

            Open mesh used in anterior inguinal hernia repair can be configured as a flat patch (Lichtenstein operation) or as a cone-shaped preformed plug and supplementary patch (plug-and-patch operation; Perfix Plug; Davol Inc, Cranston, RI). One hundred forty-one patients were randomly allocated and blinded to receive either a Lichtenstein patch or a Perfix plug-and-patch. Information before the operation and on postoperative days 3 and 14 was recorded by an independent blinded observer to include operating time, postoperative pain, analgesic medication, return to activity and work, and quality of life assessment. Operating time (32 vs 37.6 minutes) was significantly shorter in the plug-and-patch group (P = .01). During days 1 through 8, patients who had undergone the plug-and-patch operation experienced less pain, and their physical functioning on day 3 was significantly better (P = .013). Days of analgesic medication (4.0 vs 4.6 days), return to normal activity (2.8 vs 3.6 days), return to work (17.0 vs 20.8 days), and total days of work missed (14.3 vs 16.1 days) were similar in both groups (P = NS for all comparisons). Compared with patients who received the Lichtenstein patch for ambulatory inguinal hernia repair, patients who underwent the Perfix plug-and-patch operation experienced less postoperative pain in the first 8 days after the operation but consumed similar postoperative analgesic medication. The rate of return to normal activity and work is similar in both groups, which indicates no superiority for the plug-and-patch operation in overall rehabilitation and societal costs. Overall hospital costs are greater for the plug-and-patch operation ($120 [US]) compared with the Lichtenstein patch ($20 [US]), with a negligible (5.6 minutes) saving of operating room time for the plug-and-patch operation.
