Abstract:
Objective To summarize the clinical experience of Gilbert tension-free hernioplasty in the elderly patient under local anesthesia. Methods Seventy-six elderly hernia patients operated by Gilbert tension-free hernioplasty under local anesthesia were analyzed in operating time, postoperative complications, hospitalization days and recurrence rate, etc. Results Patients with abdominal hernia were all cured. The average operation time was 25.7 minutes and the time staying in bed after operation was 2-5 hours. The complications of incision pain, foreign body sensation and scrotum hydroceles after operation were observed in 8, 4 and 3 patients respectively. The average hospitalization period was 2.3 days. All patients were followed-up for 1-12 months and no recurrence and infection were observed. Conclusions Gilbert tension-free hernioplasty under local anesthesia is an ideal operation to treat abdominal hernia for elderly patients with less interference to physiological function, quick recovery and less complications.
