Fibrin Sealant Versus Mechanical Stapling for Mesh Fixation During Endoscopic Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernioplasty

Abstract: This randomized prospective clinical trial demonstrated a significant reduction of analgesic consumption by using FS for mesh fixation during bilateral TEP, but it was associated with an increased incidence of postoperative seroma.

“…There was no difference in postoperative pain, although analgesic consumption was lower in the glue group. With a median follow-up of 1.2 years (84 % FU), there was no significant difference in chronic pain (20 vs. 13.2 %; P = 0.418); no recurrences were seen in any group [41]. A comparable study was done in TAPP [42].…”

“…These authors were able to show that fi xation with fi brin sealant is mechanically equivalent to stapler fi xation. In a number of clinical studies, both its effi ciency and also a reduction in postoperative complication have been shown in inguinal hernia repair [20,21]. The use of fi brin sealant is now also being described for hiatus hernia repair.…”

“…In a 2007 study, Lovisetto et al compared fi brin glue to staples in TAPP repairs in 197 patients and found the fi brin sealant group had signifi cantly less pain, faster recovery, and better quality of life at 1 month with no difference in recurrence rates after 12 months of follow-up [ 59 ]. In a 2005 study, 93 patients were randomized to either fi brin sealant or stapling for mesh fi xation [ 60 ]. The primary endpoints were pain, analgesic requirements, and seroma formation.…”
