Clinical comparison of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal and tranabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair

2018 
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair. Methods 68 patients underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in Shenzhen Guangming New District People's Hospital were enrolled from January 2014 to January 2016. The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group, and 34 cases in each group. The patients in the observation group were treated with TEP repair, and the patients in the control group was treated with TAPP repair. The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months. The hospitalization time, the postoperative pain, the complications and recurrence between the two groups were compared. Results The duration of anal exhaust time, hospital stay and postoperative pain were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (t=7.83, 6.16, 11.11; P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the incidence of complications and the recurrence rate of inguinal hernia (χ2=0.77, 0.57; P=0.38, 0.45). Conclusion TEP can further shorten the postoperative pain time and hospitalization time compared with TAPP. However, TEP has a high requirement for surgeons, and it needs to be further promoted.
