Background: Chosen the choice of inguinal hernia repair for patient case by case is also challenging. The ideal technique must have low complication and low recurrences. There also should be simple technique, easily to perform and have high cost-efficiency.For these reasons, the HerniaSurge project suggested to use mesh-based technique for the main technique in treatment of inguinal hernia. In some situation, surgeon will have worrisome for using mesh-based repair such as contaminated field or surgeon in place that have minimal resources. In this study want to compare results of the techniques of inguinal hernia repair in dimension of difficulty of operation, postoperative complication, and cost of treatment.
Materials and Methods:This retrospective medical records reviews of all inguinal hernia repair done in the Sisaket hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 was performed.Results: Moloney's darn repair had superior to other techniques in terms of length of hospital stay and cost of treatment in all situations of inguinal hernia especially when compared to Lichtenstein hernioplasty. Our results also shown that Bassini's repair still had treatment results and postoperative complications comparable to Lichtensteins hernioplasty.
Conclusion:Although mesh-based technique such as Lichtenstein herniolasty approved by HerniaSurge for standard treatment of inguinal hernia in the present. But, the other techniques such as Moloney's darn repair or Bassini's repair can be used for alternative choice in some situation or in area that have low resources.
