چکیده
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate pain and further disabling complications in patients undergoing Lichtenstein technique for primary inguinal hernia repair by fixing the mesh with fibrin sealant versus sutures. METHODS This study was carried out on 116 patients between January 2009 and July 2009. All patients were male, between the ages of 20 and 75 years. Lichtenstein, using a polypropylene mesh as prosthetic material. A total of 116 hernias were operated on. Group I: 54 operations were done using the conventional repair procedure with polypropylene sutures (prolene 2/0) for mesh fixation. Group II: 62 operations were done using fibrin glue for fixation of the mesh. All patients were operated as day cases, with a maximum hospital stay of 12 hours; none required readmission. RESULTS No complications were observed in follow-up at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months. At 12 months, none of the patients had developed a recurrence. The mean time for complete healing of wound after herniorrhaphy plus fibrin sealant was 8.13±7.88 days (range 6-28 days). This was markedly increased in group 1 patients (mean 12.08±8.59days, and range 8-32) (p <0.001).12 months after surgery, The median VAS pain score was significantly lower in group 2 patients (P < 0·001). The mean (SD) duration of incapacity for work was 5 (2-12) days in group 2(p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the effectiveness of fibrin glue in securing prosthetic meshes and reducing chronic inguinal pain. KEY WORDS Chronic pain, Fibrin glue, Inguinal hernia repair.

BACKGROUND We sought to determine the efficacy of sutures, human fibrin glue and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for mesh fixation in patients undergoing the plug and mesh procedure for groin hernia. METHODS A total of 156 patients with 167 inguinal hernias (11 bilateral) underwent a plug and mesh procedure and were randomly assigned to received either sutures (n = 59 hernias), human fibrin glue (n =...
متن کاملUse of human fibrin glue (Tisseel) versus staples for mesh fixation in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TISTA): a randomized controlled trial (NCT01641718)
BACKGROUND Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide. This procedure is increasingly performed with endoscopic techniques (laparoscopy). Many surgeons prefer to cover the hernia gap with a mesh to prevent recurrence. The mesh must be fixed tightly, but without tension. During laparoscopic surgery, the mesh is generally fixed with staples or tissue glue. Howe...
متن کاملSelf-gripping mesh versus fibrin glue fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: a randomized prospective clinical trial in young and elderly patients
Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair is a safe and effective technique. In this study we tested the hypothesis that self-gripping mesh used with the laparoscopic approach is comparable to polypropylene mesh in terms of perioperative complications, against a lower overall cost of the procedure. We carried out a prospective randomized trial comparing a group of 30 pati...

PURPOSE Tacks and sutures ensure a strong fixation of meshes, but they can be associated with pain and discomfort. Less invasive methods are now available. Three fixation modalities were compared: the ProGrip™ laparoscopic self-fixating mesh; the fibrin glue Tisseel™ with Bard™ Soft Mesh; and the SorbaFix™ absorbable fixation system with Bard™ Soft Mesh. MATERIALS AND METHODS Meshes (6 cm ×6 ...
