Abstract
Introduction

The use of meshes made with reabsorbable materials and structures that allow them to be fixed to the tissue without sutures, is considered as a therapeutic possibility in inguinal hernioplasty, reducing surgical times and supposedly improving pain and postoperative recovery.

Material and methods

A prospective randomised study of patients intervened for inguinal hernia between March 2009 and March 2010. Those patients chosen for hernia repair with a self-adhesive mesh (Parietene Progrip®) were placed in the in the SA (self-adhesive) group, and those chosen for hernia repair with a polypropylene mesh fixed with a monofilament suture in the CL (Classic Lichenstein) group. Complications and pain, using the visual analogue scale, were evaluated over 7 days.

Results

A total of 90 patients were divided into 2 groups of 45. The mean age was 60 and 49 years, respectively, with the mean size of the hernia defect being 3 cm, and approximately 60% were indirect hernias. The time of fixing the mesh and the overall surgery time was lower in the SA group than in the CL group: 56 s vs 3 min and 52 s, and 17 min and 45 s versus 20 min and 10 s, respectively. There were no differences in hospital stay, complications or post-operative pain.

Conclusion

The use of this type of mesh reduces the time of fixing the prosthesis and the total surgical time, with no effect on early post-operative pain or surgical complications compared to hernioplasty with a polypropylene mesh fixed with a monofilament suture.

Resumen
Introducción

El empleo de mallas confeccionadas con materiales reabsorbibles y estructuras que les permiten fijarse al tejido sin suturas se plantea como posibilidad terapéutica en la hernioplastia inguinal, disminuyendo tiempos quirúrgicos y mejorando supuestamente dolor y recuperación postoperatoria.

Material y métodos

Estudio prospectivo y aleatorizado de pacientes intervenidos de hernia inguinal unilateral entre marzo de 2009 y marzo de 2010. En el grupo AutoAdhesiva (AA) se incluyeron los sometidos a hernioplastia inguinal con malla autoadhesiva (Parietene Progrip®) y en el grupo Lichtenstein clásico (LC) aquellos sometidos a hernioplastia con malla de polipropileno fijada con sutura monofilar. Durante 7 días postoperatorios se evaluaron las complicaciones y el dolor mediante la escala visual analógica.

Resultados

Un total de 90 pacientes fueron divididos en 2 grupos de 45. La edad media fue de 60 y 49 años, siendo, en ambos, el tamaño medio del defecto herniario de 3 cm y aproximadamente un 60% hernias indirectas. El tiempo de colocación de la malla y el quirúrgico global fue menor en el grupo AA frente al LC: 56 segundos frente a 3 minutos y 52 segundos y 17 minutos y 45 segundos frente a los 20 minutos con 10 segundos respectivamente. No hubo diferencias en estancia hospitalaria, analgesia, complicaciones ni dolor postoperatorio.

Conclusión

El empleo de este tipo de mallas disminuye el tiempo de colocación de la prótesis y el quirúrgico total, sin efecto en el dolor y complicaciones postoperatorias precoces frente a la hernioplastia con malla de polipropileno fijada con sutura monofilar.
