“…In some studies, lower rates of both complications and pain have been reported to develop following MPR [ 11 , 13 ]. In contrast, the complication rate was reported to be higher especially due to migration of the mesh [ 4 , 14 , 15 ]. Intestinal volvulus, obstruction, and perforation are reported complications due to mesh migration in MPR different from LR [ 9 , 16 ].…”

Objective: The lifetime risk to develop an inguinal hernia is 27%-43% for men and 3%-6% for women. Methods of hernia repair currently involve prosthetic mesh applications. The aim of this study is to compare the Lichtenstein repair and Mesh-plug repair methods in the surgical treatment of indirect inguinal hernias and to identify which of these two techniques is superior regarding its conferred advantages.Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 102 patients who were diagnosed with indirect inguinal hernia between the years 2014 and 2015 without a previous operation were analyzed. Patients undergoing Lichtenstein repair and Mesh-plug repair were compared, especially during operation time, hospital stay, postoperative pain and other aspects.Results: The mean age of patients was 28.7 years (19-73). The mean duration of operations and hospitalizations was significantly shorter in patients who had undergone mesh-plug repair. Inguinal pain in the operation area on postoperative day one, two weeks and six months was significantly less in patients who had undergone mesh-plug repair. Patients were followed-up for two years.Conclusion: We concluded that mesh-plug repair was superior to Lichtenstein repair regarding postoperative pain, quality of life of the patient, shorter duration of operation, and duration of hospital stay although the two methods were similar regarding both recurrence and complication rates. Considering this information, we suggest that mesh-plug repair can be used safely for the treatment of indirect inguinal hernias.

“…La implantación de tapones introducidos en el orificio superficial y fijados a los bordes del defecto fue ampliamente difundida por Rutkow y Robbins para la recidiva inguinal y crural 47,48 . Con la técnica original el tapón queda en el espacio preperitonenal, en vecindad con órganos intraabdominales a los que podría lesionar 49 . Por ello, nunca fuimos partidarios de aplicar dicho procedimiento tal como lo describen los autores, pero sí nos facilitó el concepto para desarrollar nuestra técnica PPP, que evita el peligro al sustituir el tapón por un dispositivo plano sobre el que realizamos el cierre del defecto, cierre que constituye propiamente la reparación y que queda reforzado por la prótesis.…”
