A new approach for transversalis fascia reinforcement in Lichtenstein's inguinal hernia repair.
Surgery Today 2013 Februrary
Operations undertaken for inguinal hernia repair are the most common elective surgical procedures. According to the current guidelines, Lichtenstein's tension-free method is the gold standard for elective hernia operations. The most common types of implanted mesh are polypropylene and composite mesh. We herein present Lichtenstein's operation using a biological hemostatic mesh (Tachosil) used for transversalis fascia reinforcement, and our results after a 3-year follow-up period for 52 patients implanted with Tachosil mesh are reported. According to our results, the biological mesh can be safely implanted during hernia repair with the same recurrence rate and lower postoperative pain and complications compared to hernia repair with polypropylene mesh implantation.
