La técnica de Nyhus en la reparación de las hernias inguinales recidivadas: análisis de una serie de 203 pacientes Nyhus technique in the repair of recurrent inguinal hernias: analysis of a series of 203 patients
Aim
The aim of the study is to evaluate the closure of the defect in postoperative pain, seroma and recurrence.
Material and Methods
Inclusion criteria were; defect width of 2 - 4 cm and body mass index ≤ 35 kg / m2, or previous intraperitoneal surgery. A prospective database of perioperative variables have been collected. We consider postoperative pain as a value ≥5 on the Visual Analogue Scale, seroma types III and IV of the Morales-Conde classification.
Results
32 patients were operated with laparoscopic closure of the defect (LCD) between 2018 and 2020. The mean age was 59 years and body mass index was 31 kg / m2. 14 patients had incisional hernia. 90% of the cases were M2-3 with a mean defect diameter of 2.7 cm. In 5 cases, a preperitoneal mesh was placed without takers, the mean size of the mesh was 15 cm. The mean duration of the procedures was 96.1 min. Seven (22%) patients presented postoperative pain, of which 5 had 24 h limited and in two cases it lasted up to 48 h. No patient presented pain at the 30-day evaluation. The mean length of stay was 1.8 days. The mean follow-up was 23 months, one seroma (3.1%) and three (9.4%) recurrences were diagnosed.
Conclusions
In our initial experience, we considered LCD a safe technique with benefits for selected patients.
