Objective To compare the postoperative outcomes of elderly and non-elderly patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair in same-day surgery mode, and explore the utility and safety of same-day surgery mode in inguinal hernia repair. Methods Patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair in Day Surgery Center, West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 1st 2021 and October 31st 2021 were prospectively included. The patients were divided into elderly group (≥60 years old) and non-elderly group (18-59 years old). The preoperative conditions, postoperative outcomes, discharge readiness and social support of the two groups were analyzed. Results A total of 451 patients were enrolled, including 111 elderly patients and 340 non-elderly patients. The male proportion, prevalence rates of preoperative comorbidities, and bilateral inguinal hernia proportion in the elderly group were significantly higher than those in the non-elderly group (P<0.05), and the body mass index in the elderly group were significantly lower than that in the non-elderly group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in anesthesia method, analgesic method, bleeding volume, or surgery time between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative pain score of the non-elderly group was higher than that in the elderly group (Z=–2.226, P=0.026), but there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of postoperative unplanned analgesia, rate of discharge delay, pain score on the third day after discharge, re-consultation within one month after discharge, complications within one month after discharge, or post-discharge satisfaction (P>0.05). The total score of social support was higher in the elderly group than that in the non-elderly group (31.77±3.04 vs. 29.75±4.78; t=4.182, P<0.001). Conclusion The same-day surgery mode for inguinal hernia repair is feasible and safe in elderly patients and worthy of implementation.
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nursing measures based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for patients undergoing day surgery of inguinal hernia repair. Methods A total of 120 patients scheduled for day surgery of inguinal hernia repair between January and June 2015 were randomized into ERAS group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Patients in the ERAS group received nursing optimized by the idea of ERAS during the perioperative period, while those in the control group received traditional routine nursing intervention. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, adverse responses, early ambulation, influence of pain on patients’ sleep, satisfaction of the patients and prolonged hospital stay rate were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results VAS scores during hours 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, and 8-12 in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Between hour 12 and 24, the VAS sco res were not significantly different between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). Early postoperative ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, and patients’ satisfaction on pain control and nursing care in the ERAS group were all significantly better than those in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion Based on the concept of ERAS nursing intervention model, we can effectively reduce postoperative complications after inguinal hernia repair, accelerate patients’ postoperative rehabilitation, and increase patients’ satisfaction.
目的 评价3DMax补片在腹腔镜下全腹膜外修补术(totally extraperitoneal,TEP)中修补腹股沟疝的价值。方法 回顾性分析我院2009年2～6月期间腹腔镜下应用3DMax补片对18例腹股沟疝患者行TEP的临床资料，分析其手术时间、住院时间、复发和并发症发生情况。结果 18 例患者中Ⅰ型疝3例，Ⅱ型疝4例，Ⅲ型疝9例，Ⅳ型疝2例； 斜疝11例，直疝6例，股疝1例。成功完成腹腔镜下TEP 17例。1例因疝内容物为末端回肠，与疝囊粘连并局部狭窄梗阻，中转开放手术切除部分回肠。手术时间40～95 min，平均65.4 min。术后均未使用镇痛剂，术后住院时间2～7 d，平均住院5.5 d。术后发生阴囊血清肿1例，经穿刺排液后愈合良好。随访1～6个月，无复发病例。结论 腹腔镜下TEP具有创伤小、恢复快、复发率低等优点，采用预先成型的3DMax 补片使手术操作更加简便。
ObjectiveTo compare the efficiency of total extraperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy with laparoscopic technique using an innovative self-gripping mesh and polypropylene mesh. MethodsThe clinical data of 142 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia who underwent total extraperitoneal prosthesis (TEP) in our hospital form June 2012 to March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. the operation type was total extraperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy with laparoscopic technique. Depending on the kind of mesh, all patients were divided into two groups from the self-gripping mesh group (n=60) and the polypropylene mesh group (n=82). ResultsThere was no significant difference in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and The Visual Analogue Score of post-operative (at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after operation) between the 2 groups (P>0.05). On the post-operative complications, there was no significant difference in incidences of total complication, scrotal edema, seroma, bladder injury, vascular injury of abdominal, and urinary reten-tion too (P>0.05). All the patients were followed up for 3-36 months (the median time was 19-month), and no recurrence occurred during the follow-up period. ConclusionInnovative self-gripping mesh is safe and effective, and maybe a good direction of mesh for material development.
Objective To retrospectively compare short-term outcomes and health economics of PHS versus UHS for inguinal hernia repair. Methods We included 105 patients suffering from reducible inguinal hernia hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Lanzhou University from September, 2007 and September, 2012. The referred hernia types involved direct and indirect hernia (unilateral and bilateral). Based on different repair materials, the patients were divided into two groups, PHS group (n=53) and UHS group (n=52). Outcome parameters for comparison included incidences of seroma and scrotum edema, hospital duration, costs, etc. Results There were no differences in age, sex, hernia type, incidences of seroma and scrotum edema after surgery, hospital duration and costs between the two groups. However, the patients in the PHS group spent less money than those in the UHS group regarding the costs of materials and hospitalization, with significant differences. Conclusion For inguinal hernia repair, PHS and UHS are alike in reducing short-term complications, but PHS can significantly reduce patients’ economic burden due to less costs.

Objective To explore the application effect of PDCA cycle management on reducing the unplanned overnight recovery rate in patients undergoing transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) under the same-day surgery model. Methods The unplanned overnight recovery rate in patients who underwent TAPP at West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University between January and October 2023 (pre-improvement phase) was analyzed. A quality control group was established, and PDCA cycle management was employed to define control objectives and implement strategies to reduce the unplanned overnight recovery rate. The unplanned overnight recovery rate in patients who underwent TAPP between November 2023 and April 2024 (post-improvement phase) was compared with that in the pre-improvement phase. Results After the implementation of PDCA cycle management, the unplanned overnight recovery rate in patients undergoing TAPP under the same-day surgery reduced from 23.87% (37/155) in the pre-improvement phase to 9.05% (19/210) in the post-improvement phase, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of PDCA cycle in the process management of TAPP under the same-day surgery model significantly reduces the unplanned overnight recovery rate in patients.
