- Abstract
The inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed operations in general surgery. The different types of meshes were used in total extra-peritoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair. However, there is still contraversion about the most widely used slit and non-slit meshes. The aim of this study was to determine the differences of the usage of slit and non-slit meshes. We compared the both techniques in terms of postoperative complications and operative time. In our retrospective study between January 2009 and December 2010, a total of 236 laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair was performed in 195 male patients. A total of 54 slit mesh was used in 43 patients. On the other hand a total of 182 non-slit mesh was used in 152 patients. Hernia recurrence was seen in 4 (2,19%) patients in the non-slit mesh group however there was no recurrence in the slit mesh group (p <0.05). There was seroma development in 10 (5,49%) patients in non-slit mesh group and 3 (5,55%) patients in slit mesh group (p>0.05). Discussions continue on the type of mesh used. In our study, the use of slit mesh in total extraperitoneal herni repair is safe and we found that in the term of hernia recurrence slit mesh has advantage over non-slit mesh. There was no difference in operative time and complications.
