Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has been shown to be slightly superior to open approaches. The aim of study is to compare advantages and disadvantages between two methods of extra peritoneal access for TEP repair of inguinal hernia using conventional balloon device method and using Dulucq method.

Methods: This is a prospective study. It was conducted from June 2014 to November 2016 at SSG Hospital Vadodara. Total 50 patients of inguinal hernia taken for laparoscopic TEP repair among them patients were divided in two groups by envelop method of randomization, in 25 patients extra peritoneal space was created by balloon method and in 25 patients extra peritoneal space was created by veress needle or Dulucq method.

Results: The mean time taken for extra peritoneal space creation by balloon method was 13.12 minutes and the mean time taken for extra peritoneal space creation by veress needle method was 9.32 minutes. The mean total operative time required for TEP by balloon method was 66.7 minutes and that for, TEP with veress needle method was 53 minutes.

Conclusions: Total time for extraperitoneal space creation by Dulucq method is less as compared to balloon method of extraperitoneal space creation in laparoscopic TEP repair of inguinal hernia.
