بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST GRACEFUL THE MOST MERCIFUL
LAPAROSCOPIC HERNIA REPAIR
INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED • Laparoscope 300 • Three – four Trocars (10-12 m.m.) + reducers • Dissector • Grasper • Diathermy needle • Suction tube • Endo-hernia • Endo-Clip clips • Marlex, polypropylene mesh or surgipro (different sizes) • Laparoscopic needles and needle holders
Types of Laparoscopic Repair • On-Lay mesh patch • Transperitoneal: a) pre-peritoneal mesh b) plug and mesh c) Cigarettes and mesh • Extra-peritoneal approach
ON-LAY MESH PATCH • Intra – peritoneal • Weight of viscera to fix it • Complications (adhesions, obstruction and fistulas) • Less testicular pain and swelling • Not recommended by many authors
Trans-peritoneal(Pre-peritoneal)Mesh only mesh and plug mesh and cigarettes

Extra-Peritoneal Approach (Video presentation)
Advantages of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair • Anatomy is clear. • Suitable for bilateral and recurrent hernias. • Quick convalescence (resume working after 1-7 days). • Less pain and scrotal swelling post-operatively. • Inguinal canal is not opened (less risk of nerves and cord injuries)
Disadvantages • A little more expensive than anterior approach. • Higher recurrence rate (initial studies) than anterior approach Viz: Bassini’s, McVay or Litchenstien’s repair. • Requires G.A. • Takes a little longer operating time ( 2 – 2 ½ hours) • Needs experts.
Training requirements for Laparoscopic Hernia repair • Attending basic courses in Laparoscopic surgery. • Training course in Hernia repair. • Surgeon should be familiar with the instruments. • Should know how to operate with both hands. • Learn how to suture laparoscopically. • Learning the anatomy of the region (very important). • Observing experts, assisting them and operates later on.
INDICATIONS • Bilateral Hernias (avoid long recoveries because of incisions) • Recurrent Hernias (avoid dissecting scarred tissues, so less chance of cord and nerve injuries).
CONTRA-INDICATIONS • Patients who can not tolerate G.A. • Large incarcerated sliding hernia
POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS OF Laparoscopic hernia repair • Complications related to the laparoscope: a) Gas embolism b) Trocar injury (Bl. Vessels, bladder, bowel) c) Cautery injury (bladder, bowel)
2. Complications related to the repair:a) Vascular injuryb) Bladder / bowel injury c) Injury to vas deferensd) nerve injurye) migration or infection of prosthesisf) adhesions and bowel obstructiong) Seroma formationh) Recurrence

Post-op follow-up Pain : Patient given I.M Voltaren and Nubain 4-6 hourly for 24 hours. All received prophylactic antibiotics for 3 doses post-op. All discharged with pain killers to be taken PRN. Same day of op 4 Ambulation1st post-op day 40 2nd post –op day 3
Hospital stay: (1-7 days) average 2 days ( 7 days for that with D.V.T.) • Return to work: 3 days to 5 weeks (D.V.T.) ( Average 7 days) • Lifting heavy objects : 6 weeks
Complications • During Surgery: One case, injury to U.B. stitched with Vicryl + catheter for 10 days
Continuation: Complications II. Post-op: - Retension of urine: One case responded to urinary catheterization for 24 hrs. - Neuralgia of upper medial part of thigh (staples) - Seroma – one case detected by U/S and aspirated from inguinal region. - Recurrence (4.2%) = 2 one after 3 months + one after 15 months post-op. - Trocar Hernia - One at umbilical port repaired later on
Continuation: Complications II. Post-Op • Bleeding • Infection • Hydrocele • Orchitis NONE • Pelvic collection • Bowel injury
