Abstract:
The clinical data of 42 patients undergoing laparoscopic transabdomical preperitoneal ( TAPP) hernia repair in Taizhou People′s Hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.In this series, 22 patients used VicrylTM polyglactin suture (group A) and 20 patients used the unidirectional barbed suture (group B).The clinical efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.There were no significant differences in volume of intraoperative blood loss [(7.3 ± 3.2) vs.(7.9 ±3.2)ml],length of postoperative hospital stay [(14.6 ±1.2) vs.(4.8 ±1.1)d], pain scores [visual analogue scale (VAS),1.9 ±0.9 vs.2.1 ±1.0] at the first-day after operation,body discomfort(1 vs.0 case),and incidence of chronic pain and recurrence between the two groups (P>0.05). The time of operation and peritoneum suturation in group B was markedly shorter than that in group A [(34.3 ±7.1) vs.(40.4 ±9.9) min, (9.8 ±1.8) vs.(13.1 ±4.8) min, both P <0.05].Both unidirectional barbed suture and VicrylTM polyglactin suture are safe ,effective in peritoneum suturation for inguinal hernia repair; however , the unidirectional barbed suture has advantages of shorter operation time and less difficulty of surgical procedure .
