Abstract
The authors evaluated the effects and clinical value of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) mesh to treat inguinal hernia in young adults by the laparoscopic method. The clinical data of 357 cases with inguinal hernia using SIS mesh in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively from June 2014 to June 2018. All cases were divided into 2 groups according to the surgical method. Operation time, hospital stay, cost, postoperative complications, and complications during follow-up were analyzed. Of the 357 patients, 202 (56.6%) underwent Lichtenstein repair and 155 (43.4%) underwent transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair. Operation time and hospital costs of the Lichtenstein group were significantly lower compared with the TAPP group (P<0.05). The incidence of seroma in the Lichtenstein group was lower than that in the TAPP group at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively with significant differences (P<0.05). Perioperative pain scores in the Lichtenstein group were higher than the TAPP group (P<0.05). No statistical difference was observed for hospital stay between 2 groups (P>0.05). In the Lichtenstein group, 1 case recurred during the follow-up period (0.5%). No intestinal obstruction or intestinal fistula occurred in any patient during the follow-up period. The effect of SIS mesh was positive whether the patient underwent a Lichtenstein or TAPP method. Seroma was more common in the TAPP method that may cause lower postoperative pain. Therefore, we recommend individualized treatment.
