Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of tension-free mesh-plug repair in the treatment of inguinal incarcerated hernia. Methods The mesh & plug tension-free hernia repair was administered in 45 patients with incarcerated indirect hernia using the Bard Mesh PerFix Plug. Results The operation time was 48～98 min (mean, 75 min). The patients got out of bed 12～24 hours after surgery. Wound pain lasted 2～4 days. Postoperative subcutaneous hydrops occurred in 2 patients and dysuria happened in 2 patients. The postoperative hospital stay was 3～10 days (mean, 5 days). Follow-up for 5～18 months (mean, 12.5 months) in 39 patients found no recurrence. Conclusions Tension-free mesh-plug repair has advantages of reliability, minimal invasion, rapid recovery and low recurrence rate. This method can be applied to those with incarcerated hernia with satisfactory outcomes.
