Abstract:

Objective: To determine the outcome of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place & Duration of study: At Surgical C Unit, Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, from April 2010 to June 2011. Methodology A total of 88 patients, aged between 16-60 year were included in the study and subjected to transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair. The outcome measures such as operative time, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: The mean age of patients was 38.64 ± 9.04 year. The mean operative time was 60.13 ± 14.76 minutes. The mean hospital stay was 1.45 ± 0.72 days. The postoperative complications were urinary retention (n=1 - 1.1%), wound hematoma (n=1 - 1.1%), surgical site infection (n=2 - 2.2%) and recurrence of hernia (n=1 – 1.1%). Conclusion: Transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair is associated with minimal complications but requires a long learning curve.
