The laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal hernioplasty in case of inguino-scrotal hernia

The laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal hernioplasty is an effective technique of treatment of uncomplicated hernia. However, application of this technique at complicated forms (inguinal-scrotal, repeatedly relapsing, strangulated hernias) continues to be a point at issue. The treatment of inguinal-scrotal hernia requires from surgeon availability of considerable experience independently of selected technique. The study was carried out to evaluate reliability and effectiveness of application of trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal hernioplasty under inguinal-scrotal hernia. In municipal clinical hospital № 4 8 operations of hernioplasty was implemented using trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal hernioplasty from 2014 to 2015. The technical intra-operational characteristics of techniques were analyzed. The evaluation of intra-operational and post-operational complications in early post-operational period and after 3 and 6 months after operation was implemented. All hernias were primary and onesided ones and were operated by the same surgeon. The average duration of operation made up to 93.5 min. In no cases the conversion was needed. No severe intra-operational complications were detected. In no case chronic pain and relapsing were detected. The total rate of post-operative complications made up to 12.5%. All patients were satisfied with operation in 3 and 6 months after discharge from the hospital. According the results of study, trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal hernioplasty is an effective technique of treatment of inguinal-scrotal hernias comparative with results of treatment of primary uncomplicated hernias.
