Resumen
Introducción

El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar los resultados preliminares de la reparación herniaria inguinal mediante una nueva malla protésica de polipropileno, a través de un abordaje preperitoneal siguiendo la técnica descrita por Kugel.

Pacientes y método

Se estudia prospectivamente a 27 pacientes tratados de 30 hernias inguinales (4 directas, 24 oblicuas externas y dos mixtas), de las que tres eran bilaterales, mediante esta técnica entre abril y junio de 2000. Se comentan los aspectos técnicos del procedimiento.

Resultados

Aunque el período de seguimiento es corto (entre 4 y 6 meses), se ha observado una única incidencia: seroma (3,7%), que se drenó y sólo requirió curas locales durante 7 días. No se han presentado otras complicaciones ni recidivas hasta la fecha.

Conclusiones

Con el abordaje mínimamente invasivo y prácticamente sin suturas de esta técnica, que puede realizarse con anestesia local o regional, y el uso de esta nueva malla se obtienen unos resultados excelentes que se deben validar a más largo plazo, aunque pensamos que es una buena técnica que debería incorporarse a nuestro armamentarium quirúrgico y que debemos conocer.

Introduction

The aim of the present study was to present the preliminary results of inguinal hernia repair using a new polypropylene prosthetic mesh. A preperitoneal approach was used, following the technique described by Kugel.

Patients and method

We prospectively studied 27 patients who underwent surgery using this technique for 30 inguinal hernias (4 direct, 24 external oblique and 2 mixed) between April and June 2000. Three cases were bilateral. The technical aspects of this procedure are discussed.

Results

Although the follow-up period has been short (between 4 and 6 months), only one event has been found: seroma (3.7%) which was drained and required only local treatment for 7 days. No other complications or recurrences have been found to date.

Conclusions

Excellent results were obtained with this minimally invasive approach and the new mesh. The technique requires practically no sutures and can be performed with local or regional anesthetic. Although the results require validation over a longer period, we believe that this is an effective technique that should become known to surgeons and should be incorporated into our surgical armamentarium.
