The recurrence rate for inguinal hernia repair is up to 15%. The purpose of the work is to determine the optimal method of surgery for recurrent inguinal hernias. From 2007 to 2011, a clinical study was conducted involving 146 patients (randomized – 82, prospective – 64) with recurrent inguinal hernias, previously operated on using different methods. Less pain syndrome and fewer complications after laparoscopic interventions were noted. In total, 68 patients were operated on laparoscopically, 78 patients were operated by open method (according to Lichtenstein). The number of recurrences after laparoscopic surgery – 3, after open – 8. Conclusion: the laparoscopic method for recurrent inguinal hernias can reduce the duration of the operation, the number of complications, reduce pain after operation and reduce the number of reccurences. Key words: inguinal hernia, TAPP, Lichtenstein's operation, recurrent inguinal hernia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
