Immunological reaction and oxidative stress after light or heavy polypropylene mesh implantation in inguinal hernioplasty: A CONSORT-prospective, randomized, clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED:The relationship between mesh weight and host tissue reaction has, so far, not been fully investigated. Lightweight meshes (LWM) are thought to give less inflammatory response compared with heavyweight meshes (HWM). The present study is a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial performed in 61 patients who underwent an elective inguinal hernioplasty. The primary outcome of the study was to investigate the relationship between total amount of prosthetic material (polypropylene), immunological reaction, and oxidative stress. The study was double-blinded. Sixty-one patients were recruited for the study and randomly assigned to 2 groups (groups A and B). Levels of inflammation markers (interleukin-6 [IL-6] and tumor necrosis factor-? [TNF-?]) and oxidative stress markers (reduced glutathione [GSH] and lipid hydroperoxides [LOOH]) were determined preoperatively and after undergoing inguinal hernioplasty (after 6, 72, and 288 hours), respectively, with LWM and HWM. There was no significant difference in IL-6 levels between HWM and LWM (P = 0.3, 0.7, 0.8 after 6, 72, and 288 hours, respectively). A statistically significant difference was found after 72 hours for TNF-? (P = 0.01), for GSH after 6 hours (P?

Project description:BackgroundConscious sedation is regularly used in ambulatory surgery to improve patient outcomes, in particular patient satisfaction. Reports suggest that the addition of conscious sedation to local anesthesia for inguinal hernioplasty is safe and effective in improving patient satisfaction. No previous randomized controlled trial has assessed the benefit of conscious sedation in this regard.ObjectiveTo determine whether the addition of conscious sedation to local anesthesia improves patient satisfaction with inguinal hernioplasty.MethodsThis trial is designed as a single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded trial of 148 patients. Adult patients diagnosed with a reducible, unilateral inguinal hernia eligible for hernioplasty using local anesthesia will be recruited. The intervention will be the use of intravenous midazolam for conscious sedation. Normal saline will be used as placebo in the control group. The primary outcome will be patient satisfaction, measured using the validated Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale. Secondary outcomes will include intra- and postoperative pain, operative time, volumes of sedative agent and local anesthetic used, time to discharge, early and late complications, and postoperative functional status.ResultsTo date, 171 patients have been recruited. Surgery has been performed on 149 patients, meeting the sample size requirements. Follow-up assessments are still ongoing. Trial completion is expected in August 2017.ConclusionsThis randomized controlled trial is the first to assess the effectiveness of conscious sedation in improving patient satisfaction with inguinal hernioplasty using local anesthesia. If the results demonstrate improved patient satisfaction with conscious sedation, this would support routine incorporation of conscious sedation in local inguinal hernioplasty and potentially influence national and international hernia surgery guidelines.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT02444260; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02444260 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/6no8Dprp4).
