Evaluating the Effect of Drainage on the Incidence of Seroma After Laparoscopic Trans Abdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair
Evaluating the Effect of Drainage on the Incidence of Seroma After Laparoscopic Trans Abdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of drainage on the incidence of seroma after laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair.
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical conditions encountered in primary care settings. Globally, around 20 million groin hernia repairs are performed each year. Surgical procedure is the gold standard treatment for inguinal hernia repair.
Laparoscopic hernioplasty is suitable for patients with inguinal hernia who can undergo general anesthesia, especially in cases like hernia recurrence after open repair, bilateral hernias, and simultaneous procedures like cholecystectomy.
Although open mesh repair has already demonstrated a low recurrence rate, laparoscopic mesh repair has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its benefits, including a better view of the groin anatomy, ease in addressing bilateral hernias, and superior cosmetic outcomes. The two most widely used laparoscopic mesh repair techniques are Totally Extra peritoneal (TEP) and Trans abdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) repair, both of which are based on the myopectineal orifice theory. The key difference between TEP and TAPP lies in the method used to access the preperitoneal space.
