Application effects of stereoscopic 3D patch in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
Objective:To observe application effects of stereoscopic 3D patch in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair(TAPP).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 86 patients with occult inguinal hernia admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to March 2023.According to the random number table method,they were divided into study group and control group,43 cases in each group.Both groups were treated with TAPP.The control group was implanted with conventional hernia patch,while the study group was implanted with the stereoscopic 3D patch.The perioperative index levels,the postoperative pain degree[visual analogue scale(VAS)]score,the incidence of postoperative complications,and the hernia recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The first out of bed time,the operation time and the hospitalization time in the study group were shorter than those in the control group,the intraoperative blood loss was less than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).At 3 and 7 days after the surgery,the VAS scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,the incidence of postoperative complications and hernia recurrence rate in the study group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:Stereoscopic 3D mesh implantation in TAPP for the patients with occult inguinal hernia can reduce perioperative index levels,the VAS scores,the incidence of postoperative complications and the hernia recurrence rate.Moreover,it is superior to conventional hernia patch implantation.
