Analysis of Inguinal Herniorrhaphy with Mesh in Classic and Preperitoneal Method: An Institutional Based Study

Abstract

Background: Most hernias occur when part of the bowel or peritoneum pushes through a gap in the abdominal wall. The peritoneum is the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and (completely or partly) encloses most of the organs in the abdomen. Hence; the present study was conducted for evaluating and comparing the results of inguinal herniorrhaphy with mesh in classic and preperitoneal method. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients scheduled to undergo. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients were obtained. All the patients were broadly divided into two study groups as follows: Group A: Classic method and Classic. Surgery was scheduled and preoperative biochemical and haematological profile was evaluated. All the patients were recorded and analysed by SPSS software. Results: In the present study, mean age of the patients of the classic group and preperitoneal group was 29.5 years and 30.2 years respectively. Recurrence was seen in 5 patients of the classic group and 1 patient of the preperitoneal group. Paine after surgery was seen in 7 patients of group Preperitoneal. Postoperative seroma formation was seen in 4 patients of group A while it was seen in 1 patient of group B. Conclusion: Preperitoneal method is a more suitable method for inguinal herniorrhaphy than the classic. However further studies are recommended.
