“…Although laparoscopic hernia repair requires more operating time and depends on the expertise of the surgeon, it has the advantages of reduced postoperative pain, fewer postoperative complications, reduced hospital stay, and a short period of disability [10][11][12][13]. The reduced postoperative pain associated with TAPP repair is due to the fact that there is a decreased rate of postoperative complications with this procedure since postoperative pain and postoperative complications are closely related [14][15][16][17]. Due to conflicting evidence in the previous studies, we conducted a study in our tertiary care hospital to compare postoperative pain and other complications in patients undergoing both Lichtenstein repair and TAPP repair for inguinal hernia.…”

“…These complications (seroma, hematoma, scrotal edema) are related to inguinal incision. Thus, they are more likely to occur in the open approach than in the laparoscopic approach [ 17 - 18 ]. Recurrence rates after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair have been reported from 0% to 4% [ 14 ].…”

IntroductionLaparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair is a minimally invasive technique that is becoming the procedure of choice among surgeons for inguinal hernia repair and research work is still going on comparing TAPP repair with Lichtenstein open mesh repair. The objective of our study is to compare common postoperative complications in Lichtenstein mesh repair and laparoscopic TAPP repair for unilateral inguinal hernia in our unit. MethodsBetween August 2016 and August 2018, patients with unilateral inguinal hernia and ASA grade I/II were selected in the surgical outpatient department (OPD) and prospectively randomized into two equal groups. Lichtenstein open mesh repair was done in Group-I and laparoscopic TAPP repair in Group-II. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used for the assessment of the intensity of pain. ResultsA total of 100 patients with a diagnosis of unilateral inguinal hernia were included in the study. Overall, our study showed that there was less postoperative pain in those patients who underwent TAPP repair as compared to patients with Lichtenstein mesh repair (p= <0.05). There were more postoperative complications in Group-I as compared to Group-II. ConclusionLaparoscopic TAPP repair for inguinal hernia is associated with less postoperative pain and other postoperative complications in addition to a shorter hospital stay as compared to Lichtenstein mesh repair. Thus, this is helping in the early return of patients to daily life activities.

“…It could be argued that is very reasonable, since they are essentially measuring different things. For instance, a study investigating quality of life following laparoscopic hernia repair could apply the herniaspecific Carolinas Comfort Scale, and the generic Short-Form 36 Health Survey and visual analog scale simultaneously (51). This is supposedly a more comprehensive representation of the patients' health status and covers a wide range of symptoms and issues.…”

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Patients Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Repair

et al. 2020

There are many ways to determine the success of an inguinal hernia operation. Traditional measures are hernia recurrence, neuralgia, mesh infection, or rather the absence of these complications. While these traditional measures obviously have their merits, alternative outcomes are emerging, and researchers and clinicians are gaining an increasing interest in patient-reported outcomes and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). PROMs are patient questionnaires concerning quality of life, chronic pain, disability, or other subjects that are best assessed by the patients. PROMs come in two different forms: generic and condition specific. The generic PROMs concern general symptoms and issues, while the condition-specific PROMs target patients with a certain condition. Inguinal hernia-specific PROMs typically address issues like mesh-related symptoms, groin pain, sexual dysfunction, etc. Clinical measurement instruments such as PROMs should be carefully validated according to standardized guidelines to ensure their psychometric measurement properties. Unfortunately, this type of evidence is often lacking when it comes to inguinal hernia-specific PROMs. In this review, we explain why PROMs are useful for patients with inguinal hernia and why one should use inguinal hernia-specific PROMs as opposed to the generic ones. We address the importance of population-specific validation and explain what type of evidence is lacking. Last, we discuss the future prospects of using PROMs for patients with inguinal hernia.
