Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Laparoscopic hernioplasty was performed by either transabdominal preperitoneal or totally extraperitoneal approaches, The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that laparoscopic hernioplasty is a way to treat military personnel in the army with less pain and for the patients to return to an active lifestyle in a short time. METHODS:A total of 217 laparoscopic hernioplasty were performed in 192 patients. Eighty-eight hernias were operated by transabdominal preperitoneal and the 146 hernias were operated by totally extraperitoneal approach hernioplasty. RESULTS:The mean +/- SD operation times were 69.4 +/- 23.94 and 58.3 +/- 24.13 minutes for the transabdominal preperitoneal and the totally extraperitoneal approach, respectively (p = 0.42). Postoperative pain was monitored by the visual analog scale. Hospitalization time for patients without complications was significantly shorter (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION:Laparoscopic hernioplasty could be performed on military personnel who need to return to work quickly with a short hospitalization time, less pain, and lower recurrence rate.
