Abstract Aim Prospective evaluation comparing outcomes between laparoscopic (LIHR), robotic (RIHR), and open inguinal hernia repair (OIHR). Material and Methods Prospective institutional data comparison of patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair from 1999–2020 was performed. Patients with chronic pain or infection were excluded. Standard statistical methods were used and univariate analysis was performed between LIHR, RIHR, and OIHR groups. Results 3,300 repairs were performed: 1,970 LIHR (597-bilateral), 127 RIHR (25-bilateral), and 538 OIHR (43-bilateral). LIHR and RIHR patients were younger (55.4±14.8vs59.0±13.7vs 65.0±13.7years;p<0.01), with lower BMI (26.6±6.5vs28.9±20.3vs31.8±7.6kg/m2; p<0.01), fewer overall (2.7±1.9 vs 2.7±2.2vs3.7±2.5; p < 0.01) and cardiac (0.2% vs 0% vs 2.6%; p<0.01) comorbidities, and fewer patients had diabetes (5.2%vs4.6%vs10.9%; p<0.01). OIHR had the highest rate of recurrent hernias (21.2%vs11.2%vs30.9%; p<0.01). History of smoking was less in LIHR (13.9%vs30.9%vs19.5%%; p<0.01). Mesh was used in 99.5% of cases; synthetic was used in all minimally invasive cases and 98.4% of OIHR, with biologic mesh in 1.0% of OIHR due to bowel resection during the operation. Operative time was shortest in LIHR followed by open (86.5±39.6vs109.0±56.8vs92.6±55.2 min; p<0.01). Wound complications were more frequent in OIHR (0.8%vs0.7%vs3.8%; p<0.01). Admission was more common after open repair (2.2%vs2.7%vs5.7%; p<0.01) with a trend to less readmission following LIHR (1.0%vs2.0%vs2.3%; p=0.06). There were few recurrences overall (0.7%vs0.7%vs1.3%; p=0.40) with mean follow-up time 21.1±22.4 months. Conclusions LIHR, RIHR, and OIHR were performed with low overall morbidity and complications. Recurrent hernias and cardiac patients were most often repaired open, which more frequent admission and had higher wound morbidity. RIHR had longer OR times with no improvement overall outcomes.

Background: This study aimed to determine the incidence of urinary retention in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair at our hospital as well as the predictors of urinary retention.Methods: Patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair at Lokman Hekim university Akay hospital between January 2010 and January 2020 were included in the study. The total number of patients was 578. The patients were divided into two groups: group-1 (patients who developed urinary retention following inguinal hernia repair) and group-2 (patients who did not develop urinary retention following inguinal hernia repair). The relationship between urinary retention and age, history of preoperative BPH, type and localization of hernia, operative and anesthesia time, perioperative NSAID, narcotic analgesic and antispasmodic use, presence of DM and rheumatic diseases and perioperative fluid replacement was investigated. Results: The median ages were 57.7±15.1 (20-74) and 48.8±17.5 (18-89) in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p<0.001).   5.36% (31/578) of the patients developed urinary retention. The group-1 were found to be at a more advanced age (p<0.001), have higher rates of BPH and DM (p<0.001), longer operative time (p<0.001), higher rate of perioperative antispasmodic use (p<0.001), higher rate of perioperative fluid replacement (p<0.001) and a lower rate of perioperative NSAID use (p<0.001) compared to those who did not develop postoperative urinary retention. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, advanced age, history of DM and BPH, antispasmodic use, longer operative time, high amount of postoperative fluid replacement and no perioperative use of NSAIDs lead to an increased risk of urinary retention.

Subcutaneous endoscopically assisted ligation (SEAL) technique is an effective and minimally invasive approach for indirect inguinal hernia repair in children. Not all patients are candidates for SEAL because of technical limitations. We hypothesized that preoperatively assessed patient-level factors may predict technical feasibility of SEAL repair. We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent indirect inguinal hernia repair between June 2012 and December 2014. All patients younger than two years and any patient older than two years who had a concomitant umbilical hernia were considered candidates for diagnostic laparoscopy with SEAL repair. We compared patients who had SEAL repair with those who had diagnostic laparoscopy with conversion to open repair. Univariate statistics was performed using the chi-squared and Student's t test. One hundred forty-one patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy with intent to perform a SEAL repair. Seventeen patients were lost to follow-up. Of the remaining 124 patients, 66 had SEAL repairs, 35 had open repairs, and 23 had a SEAL repair with contralateral open repair. Patient age, BMI, gender, history of prematurity, and history of incarcerated hernia were similar between the SEAL and open groups. Sixty-two per cent of hernias were able to be repaired with SEAL technique. Hernia recurrence was seen in 3 of 123 total SEAL repairs and in 1 of 74 open repairs. The recurrence rate for SEAL repairs (2.4%) was not significantly different from the recurrence rate for open repairs (1.4%). No preoperative patient-level factors predicted technical inability to perform a successful SEAL repair. In this series, the recurrence risk of SEAL compared with open repair was low and not statistically significant. For practitioners with minimally invasive experience, SEAL should be considered a safe and successful option for inguinal hernia repair in pediatric patients undergoing routine diagnostic laparoscopy.

INTRODUCTION Chronic postoperative pain after inguinal hernia repair has an incidence of 0.7–36.7%. This study aimed to look for any relationship between patients presenting with severe pain at initial presentation or a past history of chronic pain conditions and the development of severe chronic pain following inguinal hernia repair. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study in which 24 patients referred to a chronic pain clinic following inguinal hernia repair were compared with 24 age- and sex-matched controls. Hospital notes were reviewed for the severity of presenting pain and a past history of chronic pain. RESULTS Average age was 55.4 years. In the chronic postoperative pain group, 14 (58%) presented with severe pain versus 3 (13%) in the pain-free group. Twelve (50%) of the chronic postoperative pain group had a past history of chronic pain conditions versus none of the pain-free group. Both of these factors showed a significant (P < 0.005) association with severe chronic pain postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Patients with severe pain at presentation or with a past history of chronic pain conditions are at increased risk of severe chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair. A prospective study is needed to quantify any increased risk, although this would need to be of significant size.
