Background: Current investigation was conducted to explore the clinical application of self-made electric hook in laparoscopic indirect inguinal hernia repair.
Methods: Randomized controlled trial was conducted that compared two groups of patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair from 2013 to 2017 at our institution. A laparoscopic indirect inguinal hernia repair with beak-like electrocoagulation instrument as modified trans-abdominal preperitoneal prosthesis was performed on 42 patients. As a comparison, 40 patients with traditional TAPP were collected and analyzed. In the end, we compared the operation time, blood loss, complications, and recurrence of two groups.
Results: 82 patients have successfully completed surgery without conversion to open inguinal hernia repair. Patients were follow-up visited for 18 to 78 months, and no recurrence was found. 1 case of scrotal edema occurred using a self-made electric hook in modified TAPP, and cured by conservative treatment. In traditional TAPP group, there was 1 case of postoperative seroma, which cured by conservative treatment. There was no significant difference between these 2 groups in terms of complications and recurrence (p>0. 05). However, the differences in operation time and blood loss were significant (p<0. 05).
Conclusions: Self-made electrical hook showed in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair of indirect inguinal hernia has the advantages of shortening operation time, reducing bleeding, easing the difficulty of operation, and improving the safety of surgery, it is worthy of further clinical application.
