Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become increasingly popular as an alternative to open surgery. Aim: To evaluate total extraperitoneal repair with direct telescopic dissection and mesh hernioplasty for inguinal hernias.

Methods: This study was conducted at General Surgery department the period of 1 year on 30 patients having inguinal hernia.

Results: This prospective study included 30 adult patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernia, all of them were males. Age of study patients ranged from 22 to 64 years old. Intraoperatively, 6 patients were presented to have direct inguinal hernia (20%) while 21 patients had indirect inguinal hernia (70%). In 3 patients, combined direct and indirect hernia defects were present (10%). Mean operative time was 99.30±25.13 min. Mean time for analgesia was 3.62±1.57 days. Hospital stay mean was 1.43±0.62 days. The mean time until return to work was 14.1±3.13 days, the mean time of follow up was 7.1±2.2 months. Intra operatively 5 (15%) and post operatively 8 (26.6%)complications were observed.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic TEP repair is an excellent alternative to open preperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia. Complication rate was average with other studies while there was no hernia recurrence during the period of follow up.
