“…In our study the incidence of urinary retention was similar in both the groups. Lau et al [40] have studied the factors responsible for urinary retention and found that peak flow rates were not affected after TEP and that there was no significant association with bilateral or type of hernia. No single clinical factor could be identified to predict urinary retention, which probably results from a combination of factors such as long anesthesia, use of opiate analgesia, old age, and overhydration during operation.…”

Total extraperitoneal (TEP) mesh repair of inguinal hernia in the developing world: comparison of low-cost indigenous balloon dissection versus direct telescopic dissection: a prospective randomized controlled study

Anatomical delineation of inguinal area and dissection in the extraperitoneal space in TEP repair was equally satisfactory with both low-cost indigenous balloon (group 1) and telescopic dissection (group 2). Balloon dissection was associated with significantly reduced postoperative pain at 6 h, scrotal edema, and seroma formation. However at 3 months follow-up balloon dissection did not offer significant advantage over direct telescopic dissection in the overall long-term outcome of TEP repairs. If balloon dissection is considered useful for the beginner, low-cost indigenous balloon may be used to avoid higher cost of commercially available balloon dissector with added early advantages.

“…31,32 The following factors may contribute to the occurrence of urinary retention: long aesthesia, the use of opiate analgesics, the older age of the patient, and fluid overload during surgery. 33,34 There is no single clinical factor that could have been identified to predict urinary retention, which might occur after a TEP repair procedure and which is most probably a result of a combination of different factors. 35 The high incidence of urinary retention obtained in this study might have been a result of overhydration during operations.…”

Whereas open Lichtenstein inguinal herniorrhaphy is generally accepted as a safe, well-understood method with a high success rate, the laparoscopic repair of a inguinal hernia is a fairly recent technique. Although the laparoscopic approach to a hernia repair procedure is associated with less pain and faster recovery than open repair, many surgeons are not familiar with this technique owing to technical demands and a long learning curve. This study compares the results and complications between open tension-free mesh (Lichtenstein) repair and laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair. The study cohort was comprised of 345 consecutive patients who underwent an inguinal herniorraphy procedure. An open hernia repair was performed on one group of patients (n = 233), whereas TEP repair was performed on the other (n = 112), and then the comparison of intra- and postoperative complications and results obtained from both techniques was done. The mean hospital stay was similar in both groups. The average operative time in the TEP group was 58.6 +/- 18.1 minutes, and the average operative time in the open group was 58.2 +/- 17.8 minutes. There was no difference in postoperative complication rates between the two groups, except for urinary retention, which patients who underwent TEP repair were more likely to get. The following major complications were recorded: 2 cases of urinary bladder perforation-1 during TEP repair and the other during Lichtenstein repair, but both with good postoperative outcome-and 1 case of pneumothorax, which occurred during the TEP procedure. Despite the fact that TEP is a demanding procedure, it may be performed efficiently with an acceptable operating time and a low complication rate.

“…The rate of postoperative urinary retention was 7.9% in the TEP group, compared to only 1.1% in the open group. This complication has not been uncommon after LIHR and has ranged from 2.0% to 10.9% [6,9,16,17]. Because the TEP repair involves dissection in the preperitoneal space near the bladder, operative manipulation may be a contributory factor.…”
