Comparing non-mesh and sutured inguinal hernia repairs in groin surgery: A randomized clinical trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: Mesh technique is the standard for inguinal hernia repair because of less recurrence, but it is inferior or equal to sutured technique in case of other post-operative complications such as chronic pain. This clinical trial set out to compare these two techniques. Materials and Methods: A total number of 322 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia in participants older than 18 years old were divided into 158 cases for mesh (Lichtenstein) and 164 for nonmesh (Bassini-McVay) hernia repair techniques. In order to compare the complications in the two groups, they were followed up from one to five years. Results: During the study period, 12 and 7 participants were excluded from the mesh and non-mesh suture groups, leaving 146 and 157 participants in each group, respectively. The mean ages were 50.9 and 46.6 years old in mesh and sutured groups, respectively and mean follow up time was 2.9 years. Compared to mesh group, all complications were equal or less in non-mesh group, except for recurrence which had a statistically significant difference. Chronic post-operative pain, foreign body sensation, returning time to daily activities and costs were significantly less in non-meshed group (P = .0083). Conclusion: Non-mesh suture technique still has its place in hernia repair. Mesh can be preserved for special conditions such as weak fascia wall, contralateral unsuccessful surgery, and recurrence, if suture technique is expensive or not easily available.

متن کاملTension-free inguinal hernia repair comparing 'darn' with 'mesh': a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.
Background: Tension-free inguinal hernioplasty is sine-qua-non for a good hernia repair and is aptly fulfilled by both Lichtenstein’s mesh and a correctly done Abrahamson’s darn. Aims: This study compares the increasingly popular, yet costly, Lichtenstein’s mesh repair with the classical Abrahamson’s darn repair for inguinal hernia. Materials and Methods: A randomized, bias-free study was condu...
متن کاملThe tension-free hernioplasty in a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND The tension-free hernioplasty as introduced by Lichtenstein has gained increasing acceptance during the last decade although the technique has not been evaluated in a randomized trial. METHODS This randomized study compares the 2-year follow-up results after 102 tension-free hernioplasties with implantation of a prolene mesh in all groin hernias to 53 Cooper ligament repairs in dir...
متن کاملA systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effectiveness of lightweight mesh against heavyweight mesh in influencing the incidence of chronic groin pain following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
BACKGROUND A systematic analysis was conducted of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lightweight mesh (LWM) with heavyweight mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. METHODS Data extracted from the included RCTs were analyzed according to the principles of meta-analysis. RESULTS Eleven RCTs encompassing 2,189 patients were analyzed. In a fixed-effects model, operating time, p...
