Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open repair techniques in patients undergoing emergency surgery for incarcerated incisional hernia in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: A prospective evaluation was conducted on 45 patients who underwent emergency laparoscopic and open repair for incarcerated incisional hernia between 2018 and August 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical technique used: laparoscopic (n = 15) and open repair (n = 30). Key variables analysed included demographic data, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, operative time, perioperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, European Hernia Society Quality of Life pain score, and recurrence rates during follow-up.
Results: Significant differences were found between the laparoscopic and open repair groups regarding pain scores, length of hospital stay, and amount of perioperative bleeding. The laparoscopic repair group demonstrated reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and less perioperative bleeding compared to the open repair group.
Conclusion: This study shows that laparoscopic repair for incarcerated incisional hernia offers significant advantages over open repair. These findings support the preference for laparoscopic repair in the emergency surgical management of incarcerated incisional hernia in appropriate patients.
期刊介绍:
Hernia was founded in 1997 by Jean P. Chevrel with the purpose of promoting clinical studies and basic research as they apply to groin hernias and the abdominal wall . Since that time, a true revolution in the field of hernia studies has transformed the field from a ”simple” disease to one that is very specialized. While the majority of surgeries for primary inguinal and abdominal wall hernia are performed in hospitals worldwide, complex situations such as multi recurrences, complications, abdominal wall reconstructions and others are being studied and treated in specialist centers. As a result, major institutions and societies are creating specific parameters and criteria to better address the complexities of hernia surgery.
Hernia is a journal written by surgeons who have made abdominal wall surgery their specific field of interest, but we will consider publishing content from any surgeon who wishes to improve the science of this field. The Journal aims to ensure that hernia surgery is safer and easier for surgeons as well as patients, and provides a forum to all surgeons in the exchange of new ideas, results, and important research that is the basis of professional activity.
