ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effects of modified laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) in inguinal hernia.Methods:One hundred and twenty-five patients with inguinal hernia in Yiwu Central Hospital from February 2017 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective study. They were divided into modified TEP group (63 cases) and TAPP group (62 cases). The modified TEP group was treated with modified TEP, and the TAPP group was treated with TAPP. The perioperative operation related indexes, serum oxidative stress indexes, 1-year recurrence rate and semen quality indexes were compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of visual analogue scale after operation for 24 h in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (1.68 ± 0.39) scores vs. (1.97 ± 0.46) scores, P<0.05. After operation for 3 d, the levels of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (92.79 ± 8.82) μmol/L vs. (84.40 ± 7.36) μmol/L, (81.52 ± 9.37) U/L vs. (75.75 ± 8.50) U/L; and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (23.42 ± 3.3) μmol/L vs. (26.71 ± 3.92) μmol/L; the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in 1-year recurrence rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). One year after operation, the levels of acid phosphatase (ACP), fructose (FRU) and α- glucosidase (α- Glu) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (180.87 ± 20.15) kU/L vs. (159.85 ± 14.50) kU/L, (3.37 ± 0.84) g/L vs.(2.53 ± 0.67) g/L, (62.94 ± 6.25) kU/L vs. (43.96 ± 5.31) kU/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Both modified TEP and TAPP are effective methods for the treatment of inguinal hernia, but the former can reduce surgical trauma, recover quickly, and protect normal reproductive function.
