Abstract
The word "hernia" is derived from Latin term meaning "a rupture or protrusion". Laparoscopic techniques for inguinal hernia mesh repair have shown to be a less invasive surgical maneuver and it is associated with reduced postoperative pain, earlier return to normal life style and lower recurrence rates. In case of tacker fixation the location and number of staples is very important for the immobilization of the mesh patch. The rule is that the staples must be placed on the ileo-pubic tract. Glue also used for other group using glutuck or laparoscopic glue applicator Using Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair in Alexandria, Egypt.
Aim of the Work The aim of the study was to compare between two techniques of mesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair either tackers or cyanoacrylate glue and their post-operative impact.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective observational study, all patients aged ≥ 18 years undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair at the Gastrointestinal surgery unit of the Alexandria Main University Hospital and Medical research institute between November 1st, 2022, and September20, 2023, were included. Excluded from the study were patients with coagulopathy problem, contraindicated for general anesthesia, long term use of immunosuppressive drugs,conversion to open repair, Previous abdominal explorationor complicated hernia.Data collection was done using a standardized data collection form to identify the difference between both techniques.
