ABSTRACT
Objective:
To compare the application value of different polypropylene mesh in inguinal hernia repair of adults.Methods:
The prospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 120 adult patients with inguinal hernia who were admitted to two medical centers (60 in Huadong Hospital affiliated to Fudan University and 60 in Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from March 2012 to Match 2014 were collected. Patients were randomly divided into study group and control group using the random number table. Patients in the study group underwent repair of inguinal hernia using the SMP95958X mesh, and patients in the control group underwent repair of inguinal hernia using the modified Kugel mesh. All patients underwent preperitoneal repair by senior hernia surgery specialists. Observation indicators (1) postoperative pain; (2) complications and follow-up. Patients were followed up at postoperative 3 months and 6 months using outpatient examination to detect the short-term complications by physical or color doppler ultrasonography examination, and at postoperative 5 years using telephone interview or outpatient examination to detect long-term complications including infection, foreign body sensation and recurrence of hernia. The follow-up was up to March 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), comparison between groups was analyzed using the nonparametric rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square, continuous correction chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ranked data were analyzed using the nonparametric rank sum test.Results:
A total of 118 patients with inguinal hernia were selected for eligibility, including 116 males and 2 females, aged (64±12)years, with a range from 29 to 84 years. Of the 118 patients, 59 were in the study group and 59 were in the control group, respectively. (1) Postoperative pain of the 59 patients in the control group, 34 took painkiller and 1 case lost the data of taking painkiller at postoperative 2 days. Of the 59 patients in the study group, 29 cases took painkiller. There was no significant difference in taking painkiller between the two groups ( χ2=1.055, P>0.05). The pain score at postoperative 2 days and 3 months were 3.26(range, 0.70-6.90) and 0.87(range, 0.00-4.10) of the control group, respectively, and 3.03(range, 0.00-8.80) and 0.83(range, 0.00-3.10) of the study group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( Z=0.782, 0.729, P>0.05). (2) Complications and follow-up the incidence of postoperative complications at perioperative period (within postoperative 2 days) was 1.7%(1/59) and 1.7%(1/59) in the control group and study group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Both of 59 patients in the control group and study group were followed up for 6 months after operation, respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications at 3 months and 6 months after operation was 1.7%(1/59) and 1.7%(1/59) in the control group, respectively, and 5.1%(3/59) and 5.1%(3/59) in the study group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Fifty-five patients of the control group and 52 patients of the study group were followed up for 5 years after operation, respectively. There was 1 case of infection in the control group, with the incidence of postoperative long-term ( within 5 years after operation) complication of 1.8%(1/55), and there were 2 cases of infection and 1 case of foreign body sensation in the study group with the incidence of postoperative long-term (within 5 years after operation) complication of 5.8%(3/52), showing no significant difference between the two group ( P>0.05). There was no recurrence of hernia in either group.Conclusion:
Both of the SMP95958X mesh and the modified Kugel mesh can be used in preperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia, showing no significant difference in the efficacy between them.
