Abstract Aims To review practice of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing groin hernia repair against the International guidelines for groin hernia management 2018, in order to improve compliance with International Guidelines. We also assessed the risk category of patients. Methods Retrospective data of all patients undergoing groin hernia repair from November 2019 to March 2020 was collected using hospital software. Data collected included patient demographics, details of hernia repair including; primary/recurrent hernia, emergency/elective, laparoscopic/open repair and use of mesh. The details of antibiotic prophylaxis were recorded. Descriptive statistics was used. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results 67 patients were included, of which 38(57%) were high risk. 62 (92.5%) primary repairs were done, of which 48(72%) were open. 62(92.5%) were operated electively. 46(69%) patients underwent open repair with mesh, 6(9%) had open repair without mesh, while 15(22%) had laparoscopic repair with mesh. A total of 45 (67%) patient received antibiotic prophylaxis. Adherence to International guidelines for groin hernia in open hernia surgery was 82.67%, while that for laparoscopic surgery was 60%. Overall adherence to the Guidelines was 56.67%. Conclusions The audit reflects the need for improved understanding and adherence to the International Guidelines. Data collection of surgical site infection can help inform and influence practice to minimize the risk for surgical site infection and assist in better communication with patients regarding risk. Risk assessment for surgical site infection of patients prior to procedure helps to identify those with indication of antibiotic prophylaxis.

Repair Techniques

Background: Treatment of groin hernias continues to evolve. The emergence of laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery has challenged the conventional gold standard Lichtenstein’s tension free mesh repair. Laparoscopic technique to achieve surgical correction over groin hernia is increasingly being practiced in our country, and it is imperative to test the overall outcome of this technique in a tertiary care setting. Objectives: Current study was aimed at evaluating the per-operative events, early and late outcomes of laparoscopic groin hernia repair techniques. End points of evaluation were postoperative pain, hospital stay, resumption of normal activities, chronic pain and recurrence. Methods: Within a 2-year period, 45 patients of groin hernias of different clinical types underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in Bangladesh Medical College Hospital were recruited in this prospective observational study. Preoperative findings, intraoperative course, postoperative and follow-up data were analyzed to evaluate the outcomes. Observations were made regarding operating time, operative hazards, postoperative pain, incidence of early post-operative morbidities, hospital stay, resumption of activities. Total 24 months follow-up was carried out with regards to normal activity, late complications notably chronic groin pain and recurrence. Results: The mean age of 38.1±11.1 years, 27(60%) patients underwent TEP repair whereas, TAPP procedure was carried out in 18 patients (40%). For unilateral hernia repair using TEP technique, mean operative time was 50.3±4.2 mints and 61.7±5.3 mints for direct and indirect variety (D/I), with the corresponding rates for TAPP repair being 65.0±2.2 mints and 72.8±3.2 mints (D/I) respectively. Conversion rate to other operative procedure was 6.67%. The overall surgery related early post-operative morbidity was 7.4% (TEP) and 16.8% (TAPP). 3 out of 45 patients (6.67%) experienced chronic pain in the groin in the study. However, there was no single incidence of recurrence observed during the follow up period. Conclusion: Laparoscopic groin hernia repair techniques are safe and feasible, offers the benefits of minimally invasive surgery and becoming the procedure of choice specially for bilateral and recurrent inguinal hernias.
