          Abstract

          Introducción: Creemos que eventualmente los resultados de la hernioplastia de Lichtenstein sufrirán cambios objetivos y subjetivos según la percepción de cada paciente. El objetivo fue evaluar mediante el Instrumento de medición Cualitativo y Cuantitativo (ICCRHL) los resultados de la hernioplastia de Lichtenstein en una cohorte específica de pacientes y analizar los cambios que en estos podrían ocurrir. Pacientes y método: Los pacientes masculinos mayores de 15 años electivamente operados por hernia inguinal entre Enero y Diciembre del 2004 fueron seguidos prospectivamente mediante entrevista, examen físico y llenado de una forma pre-impresa del ICCRHL un mes después de la cirugía, a los 6 meses, 1 año y 2 años. Resultados: El 70,5% de los pacientes obtuvieron resultados excelentes a los 6 meses los cuales se mantuvieron a los 2 años. Los mejores resultados se obtuvieron en el control del primer año. Los resultados muy malos tuvieron una distribución bimodal, presentándose con mayor frecuencia en el primer control y observándose un importante incremento en el control de los 2 años; la causa fue el desarrollo de inguinodinia. Conclusión: De acuerdo al ICCRHL, los resultados de la hernioplastia de Lichtenstein son diferentes según el momento del tiempo en el cual son medidos. Este hecho demuestra que los resultados de una cirugía funcional como ésta, son dinámicos, varían según el momento en el cual son evaluados y sufren cambios importantes con el tiempo

          Background: Eventually the outcomes of Lichtenstein hemioplasty will experience objective and subjective changes according to the perception of every individual patient. Aim: To evalúate the outcomes of Lichtenstein hemioplasty using the Quantitative and Qualitative Measurement Instrument (QQMI), in a specific cohort of patients and to analyze the changes that may occur. Patients and methods: One hundred and twelve male patients, aged 17 to 92 years, electively operated for inguinal hernia from January to December 2004, were enrolled in a prospective protocol and subjected to assessments that included an interview, physical exam and the completion of the QQMI, one moth, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery. Results: Seventy-five percent patients had excellent outcomes at 6 months and maintained the same perception two years after surgery. The best outcomes were recorded at one year after surgery. Patients with very bad outcomes had a bimodal distribution, they were more frequently found at the first control and at the 2-years assessment. The cause of this bad perception was the appearance of inguinal pain. Conclusions: The outcomes of Lichtenstein hernioplasty are different according to the moment on which they are recorded. This fact shows that the outcomes of a functional operation, such as the operation for inguinal hernia, suffer important changes over time and differ according to the moment on which they are measured

            Mesh inguinodynia: a new clinical syndrome after inguinal herniorrhaphy?

            Chronic inguinodynia or neuralgia after conventional inguinal herniorrhaphy is rare, and diagnosing the exact cause is difficult. Treatment has ranged from local injection to remedial surgery with variable results. The increasing popularity of prosthetic mesh repairs (tension free, plug, or laparoscopic) has not eliminated these pain syndromes from occasionally occurring. Recommended management in these situations is extremely difficult. Since 1994, 117 inguinal reexplorations have been performed for inguinodynia and 20 of these patients had primary mesh herniorrhaphy. All 20 patients had mesh removal. Records were reviewed and patients contacted to evaluate outcomes. All 20 patients were evaluated (15 by telephone or direct contact, 5 by chart review). Three patients had their initial repair performed laparoscopically. Symptoms persisted for 12.2 +/- 1.7 months before remedial surgery. Four patients underwent inguinal reexploration and mesh removal; 16 had mesh removal plus ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric neurectomy. Good to excellent results were achieved in 12 out of 20 patients (60%). Average followup time was 15.9 +/- 3.1 months. Two of 3 patients who had laparoscopic herniorrhaphy had favorable outcomes (67%). Ten of the 16 patients who had mesh removal plus neurectomy reported good to excellent results (62%) compared with 2 of 4 reporting the same with mesh excision only (50%). Eleven patients had pain relief with preoperative nerve block. Of these, 9 had elective neurectomy resulting in good to excellent results in 5 (56%). Remedial inguinal exploration and mesh removal with or without neurectomy resulted in favorable outcomes in 60% of patients with mesh herniorrhaphy chronic inguinodynia (neuralgia). It appears that coincident neurectomy affords better results than mesh removal alone. Relief with nerve block did not predict favorable outcomes. Despite the popularity and favorable outcomes of prosthetic mesh repairs, persistent postoperative pain still occurs in a small cohort of patients. This may become more evident with the rising interest in laparoscopy. Correcting this problem once presented can be a formidable task. Remedial inguinal surgery with mesh removal and neurectomy will cure selected patients.

              Chronic pain after open mesh and sutured repair of indirect inguinal hernia in young males.

              Chronic pain is common after herniorrhaphy, but the effect of surgical technique (mesh versus non-mesh repair) and the social consequences of the pain have not been established. The aim of this study was to analyse chronic postherniorrhaphy pain and its social consequences in young males operated on for an indirect inguinal hernia with a Lichtenstein mesh repair, Shouldice or Marcy (annulorrhaphy) repair. This was a postal questionnaire study carried out within the Danish and Swedish Hernia Database Collaboration. Some 2612 patients responded (response rate 80.9 per cent), of whom 1250 had undergone a Lichtenstein, 630 a Shouldice and 732 a Marcy repair. Chronic pain had been experienced within the previous month by 22.9 per cent of the patients who responded. There was an overall decrease in pain with time, from 29.7 per cent at 6-12 months to 18.1 per cent at 37-48 months after surgery, with no overall differences between the three types of repair. Pain was more common in patients younger than 40 years of age. Some 3.9 per cent of patients described the pain as moderate to severe and as frequent or constant. Of all patients with pain, 10.7 per cent experienced it as worse after than before surgery, and 56.6 per cent stated that it interfered with social activities. Chronic pain is common after primary inguinal hernia repair in young males, but there is no difference in the pain associated with open mesh and non-mesh repair.
