Early results of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair for inguinal hernia.
British Journal of Surgery 1994 December
Over a 15-month period, 39 patients (37 men) of mean age 52 years underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Seven patients had bilateral hernia. Forty-six hernias (33 indirect, five direct, eight both direct and indirect) were repaired. A piece of polypropylene mesh measuring 8 x 10 cm was used to cover the direct and indirect spaces with an endoscopic multifeed hernia stapler. The mean operating time for unilateral and bilateral repair was 49 and 63 min respectively (range 25-90 min). One-third of patients required no postoperative analgesia and only seven had more than one injection of pethidine. The median postoperative stay was 1 (range 1-3) days. The mean period to resumption of daily activities was 7 (range 4-21) days. Three patients complained of paraesthesia of the lateral aspect of the thigh and one developed a hydrocele. Two recurrences were noted on follow-up at 3 months.
