Resumen
FERRER ROBAINA, Horlirio et al. Inguinal Hernia Treatment through Laparoscopic Surgery. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2021, vol.60, n.2 Epub 31-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1561-2945.
Introduction:
In recent years, the usage of laparoscopic surgery has offered new expectations regarding inguinal hernia treatment, since it not only allows the placement of a mesh without tension, but also allows it to be placed in the authentic weak area of the inguinal region, its posterior wall.
Objective:
To show the outcomes obtained with the implementation of laparoscopic hernioplasty as an alternative treatment in inguinal hernias repair.
Method:
A quasiexperimental study was carried out, during the period from June 2015 to May 2017, in the general surgery service of Comandante Pinares General Teaching Hospital, with a sample of 27 patients. Variables such as age, type of inguinal hernia, procedural complications, treatment recurrences, as well as the effectiveness of the procedure were controlled in comparison with conventional techniques.
Results:
Unilateral inguinal hernia was the most frequently treated. Complications were caused by inguinodynia and mesh rejection. Variables such as blood loss and surgical time decreased. Effectiveness was considered good in most cases.
Conclusions:
Laparoscopic hernioplasty is shown to have greater biological, social and economic advantages.
