Review with video of a laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for giant inguinoscrotal hernia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Giant inguinoscrotal (GIS) hernias are rarely encountered in clinical settings and are often associated with mental neglect for many years. This type of hernia is defined as "giant" if it descends below the mid-point of the inner thigh of a patient in an upright position. The laparoscopic repair approach of a GIS hernia is technically challenging. It has been claimed that laparoscopic surgery has several advantages over the open surgical approach, with less pain and an earlier recovery. The aim of this video is to evaluate the efficacy of TAPP (laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal) in order to treat a GIS hernia.

Case presentation

A 65-year-old male without a relevant past medical history was admitted to the emergency service with abdominal pain, belching and nausea. He denied any other symptoms, and no previous surgical operations were recorded. Physical examination showed a large mass in the left scrotum below the mid-point of the inner thigh of the patient in an upright position. A CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of a GIS. A laparoscopic TAPP procedure was decided upon as the best course of treatment.

Results

The patient underwent a successful repair procedure. The operation time was 150 min. No intraoperative blood transfusion was necessary. The patient's diet was resumed on the first day post surgery, and the postoperative hospital stay was three days.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic TAPP repair is a safe and feasible method for surgically managing GIS hernias.

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) groin hernia repair using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (LiquiBandFIX8) for mesh fixation and peritoneal closure: case report about extraperitoneal hematoma.

Project description:IntroductionA symptomatic inguinal hernia is a prevalent condition that typically requires surgical intervention. Various surgical approaches have been established for hernia repair, including several techniques for peritoneal closure and mesh fixation in laparoscopic surgery. N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, such as LiquiBandFIX8, offers a time-saving alternative to invasive methods for both mesh fixation and peritoneal closure. While n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is employed in various closure procedures, LiquiBandFIX8 is specifically designed for mesh fixation in inguinal hernia repair.Case presentationWe present a case of a 68-year old man undergoing transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair under full heparinization. LiquiBandFIX8 was employed for mesh fixation and peritoneal closure. Upon conducting a revision laparoscopy due to a significant postoperative hematoma, we found that the mesh and peritoneum remained undamaged and fully sealed, indicating an effective fixing technique. Both the initial repair and the subsequent revision surgery were documented and the videos were subsequently analyzed.ConclusionLiquiBandFIX8 provides a reliable adhesive strength and appropriate application for peritoneal closure and mesh fixation. When encountering extraperitoneal fluid collection, there is no anticipation of intraabdominal complications.

A new approach to enter Retzius space in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal bilateral inguinal hernia repair.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the right-side approach to enter Retzius space in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal bilateral inguinal hernia repair.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on 189 patients who were diagnosed with bilateral inguinal hernia preoperatively or intraoperatively and underwent selective TAPP in the General Surgery I Section of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2015 to September 2020. 94 cases were performed using the right-side approach (research group), and 95 cases with conventional approach (control group). Intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the two groups were observed and compared.ResultsAll operation were completed successfully. The operative time of research group was significantly shorter than that of control group (128.8 ± 35.4 vs 144.1 ± 40.9 min, P = 0.006). There were no significant differences in postoperative hospital stay, VAS score on first postoperative day, incidence of seroma and hematoma, urinary retention and other complications (P > 0.05). None of the patients occured hernia recurrence, mesh infection, intestinal obstruction and other complications.ConclusionsThe right-side approach to enter Retzius space is safe and feasible in TAPP surgery of bilateral inguinal hernia. Compared with the conventional approach, it can shorten the operative time and has certain advantages.

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for female patients with groin hernias.

Project description:BackgroundLaparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) was recommended for female patients with groin hernias. Whereas, only a few studies focused on whether and how to preserve the round ligament of the uterus in TAPP.MethodsClinical data of 159 female patients with 181 groin hernias who underwent TAPP at a single institution in China from January 2016 to June 2022 were retrospectively reviewed and collected.ResultsAll the patients underwent the operation smoothly without conversion. Division of the round ligament was performed for 33 hernias. Preservation of the round ligament was adopted for 148 hernias, 51 with the "keyhole" technique, 86 with the "longitudinal incision of peritoneum" method, and 11 with total dissection of the round ligament. The mean operative time was 55.6 ± 8.7 min for unilateral TAPP and 99.1 ± 15.8 min for bilateral TAPP. The mean estimated blood loss was 7.1 ± 4.5 mL. The postoperative complications included 6 (3.3%) cases of seroma, 1 (0.5%) case of hematoma, and 3 (1.6%) cases of mild chronic pain. The incidences of chronic pelvic pain and genital prolapse seemed to be higher in the division group than in the preservation groups (6.1% vs. 0.6% and 3.0% vs. 0%, separately). However, no statistical difference was observed (p > 0.05).ConclusionsTAPP is feasible and effective for female patients with groin hernias, especially in preserving the round ligament of the uterus.

Transabdominal Preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair leading to orchiectomy: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionAnd importance: The most common postoperative complications after inguinal hernia repair are hernia recurrence, hematoma, seroma, wound infection, chronic pain, numbness and swelling. The aim of this case report is to present a rare complication of inguinal hernia repair, a large scrotal abscess that was caused by an inoculated scrotal hematoma 3 months after Transabdominal Preperitoneal bilateral inguinal hernia repair.Case presentationAn 84-year-old patient presented to the emergency department complaining about fever, pain and progressive swelling of the left hemiscrotum. He had undergone a Transabdominal Preperitoneal bilateral inguinal hernia repair 3 months earlier and a scrotal paracentesis 17 days earlier due to a scrotal hematoma. The pelvic CT scan was indicative of a large abscess in the left hemiscrotum compressing the ipsilateral testicle. Surgical exploration of the inguinal area was performed and considering the patient's advanced age the abscess was excised "en bloc" with the ischemic ipsilateral testicle. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home on the third postoperative day.Clinical discussionScrotal abscess, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scrotal pain after inguinal hernioplasty. Scrotal drainage is sometimes used in order to relive the patient's discomfort caused by a swollen scrotum, but if not performed properly it can lead to serious infections. Postoperatively, a suction drain or elevation and compression of the scrotum may prevent scrotal complications.ConclusionScrotal abscess is a rare complication of inguinal hernioplasty. Scrotal care pathways establishment after inguinal hernia repair could help reduce and manage complications.

Meta-analysis of the effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia.

Project description:BackgroundInguinal hernia is a common global disease. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair (RTAPP) and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (LTAPP) for inguinal hernia.MethodsWe conducted a thorough search in Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed for relevant clinical studies. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the quality of selected studies was assessed using the Jadad scale for randomized controlled studies and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for observational studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of ten studies were included, comprising two randomized controlled studies and eight non-randomized controlled studies. Meta-analysis results revealed no statistically significant differences between the RTAPP group and the LTAPP group regarding hospital stay [MD = 0.21 days, 95% CI (-0.09, 0.51), P = 0.17], incidence of seroma [OR = 0.85, 95% CI(0.45, 1.59), P = 0.61], overall complication rate [OR = 1.22, 95% CI(0.68, 2.18), P = 0.51], readmission rate [OR = 1.31, 95% CI(0.23, 7.47), P = 0.76], and recurrence rate [OR = 0.82, 95% CI(0.22, 3.07), P = 0.77]. However, the RTAPP group had longer operation time compared to the LTAPP group [MD = 14.02 minutes, 95% CI (6.65, 21.39), P = 0.0002], and the cost of the RTAPP procedure was higher than that of the LTAPP procedure [MD = $4.17 thousand, 95% CI (2.59, 5.76), P<0.00001].ConclusionRTAPP for inguinal hernia is a safe and feasible approach, however, it is associated with increased operation time and treatment costs.

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of strangulated femoral hernia: Superiority of an unusual emergency surgical approach due to a case.

Project description:IntroductionInguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations of general surgery. In order to avoid complicated and urgent cases, performing such operations electively is generally accepted. Otherwise, unforeseen emergency surgical situations accompanied by incarceration and strangulation may occur.Case presentationIn this article, we present a 45-year-old female patient with strangulated femoral hernia repair that we performed using the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal method, unlike other conventional methods.DiscussionEarly diagnosis and elective surgical treatment have an important role in hernia surgery, especially due to increased morbidity and mortality. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has developed in the recent years as a prominent method and nowadays it is performed much easier than the open method even in urgent and challenging cases.ConclusionThe transabdominal preperitoneal method has superiority over the conventional method in terms of ensuring that intestinal loop is visible during the strangulated femoral hernia repair and that the feeding of the intestine is intact.

Bilateral inguinal bladder hernia following unilateral transabdominal preperitoneal repair. A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Sliding hernia occurs when the hernia sac is partially formed by the wall of a viscus. The most common components of a sliding hernia includes the sigmoid colon, cecum, appendix, urinary bladder, and the ascending colon. However, the presence of bilateral vesical sliding hernia is rare and few cases have been reported in the literature. Patients with vesical sliding hernia may present with groin swelling with an associated lower urinary tract symptom. Computed tomography (CT) scan is the modality of choice for suspected cases which may reveal the classic pelvic micky mouse sign. The method of repair should be individualized taking in account the diagnostic findings. Although laparoscopic repair is becoming the mainstay management for inguinal hernia, the majority of sliding hernias are repaired using an open approach, which could be attributed to the presence of large hernias, associated complications, or recurrence with associated adhesions. We present a case of a 60-year-old male patient presented with bilateral inguinal swelling associated with urinary hesitancy and intermittency. He had undergone transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for a left inguinal hernia 8 years ago. CT scan confirmed the presence of a bilateral hernia with the bladder herniating bilaterally. He underwent an elective bilateral open Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair.

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal obturator hernioplasty with self-gripping mesh: A case report with operative video.

Project description:IntroductionWe investigated the effectiveness of a self-gripping mesh, which has microgrips attached to fibrous tissue, in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) obturator hernia (OH) repair to minimize the risk of postoperative pain and obturator nerve injury.Presentation of caseThe patient was an 80-year-old woman who was transferred to our emergency department with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant and low back pain that began half a day prior to presentation. Computed tomography (CT) detected right OH. Based on the results of the laboratory examination and dynamic CT, intestinal viability was maintained. Ultrasonography-assisted manual reduction of the incarcerated intestine was performed, followed by admission to our department to check for delayed perforation of the intestine. Laparoscopic TAPP OH repair was performed on day seven as an elective surgery. A self-gripping mesh was placed over the OH defect and the femoral ring without tacking. The patient was discharged on postoperative day four, without any complications.DiscussionTacking of the mesh at the lateral and dorsal sides of the obturator canal is dangerous due to the presence of the obturator nerve and vessels. Self-gripping mesh use in laparoscopic TAPP OH repair is a rational decision in terms of avoiding tacking or suturing around the obturator canal while maintaining stable fixation of the mesh to prevent recurrence.ConclusionLaparoscopic TAPP OH repair with self-gripping mesh is a rational treatment option that reduces the risk of obturator nerve injury while maintaining the secure fixation of a mesh to prevent recurrence.
