Purpose: The use of prosthetic implants in inguinal herniarepair is considered as gold standard. The conventional prosthesis used earlier were static and passive and there were complications related to the direct fixation of these prosthesis, such as bleeding, nerve entrapment, hematoma, pain and discomfort. So, to improve the results and to assess the post- operative complications after inguinal hernia repair with 3D suture-less prosthesis, we performed a prospective study. Methods: From September 2015 to March 2017, 50 patients with inguinal hernia underwent inguinal repair with Proflor ( Insightra). The patients were evaluated pre operatively clinically and by ultrasound. Patients were assessed postoperatively at seven days, three months and six months. Results: According to the visual analog scale the pain ranged from one to three during the first week and no pain was reported after one week. There were no recurrences and post operative complications except for seroma in one patient. Ultrasound findings showed that all the implants delivered were well placed. Conclusions: This suture-less dynamic implant technique could be considered as an alternative method to decrease complications of hematoma formation, chronic pain and nerve entrapment after inguinal hernia repair. |
