Use of Pre-peritoneal Drainage in rTAPP - a Comparative Study

Use of Pre-peritoneal Drainage in rTAPP - a Comparative Study With Laparoscopic TEP

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)
• Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The safety and efficacy of pre-peritoneal drain after TEP has been validated in our previous studies - which can effectively reduce seroma formation post-operatively and safe in clinical use. We shall extend the indication of pre-peritoneal drainage after robotic TAPP, results will be compared with our retrospective cohort from previous studies.

Detailed description

The safety and efficacy of pre-peritoneal drain after TEP has been validated in our previous studies - which can effectively reduce seroma formation post-operatively and safe in clinical use. We shall extend the indication of pre-peritoneal drainage after robotic TAPP, results will be compared with our retrospective cohort from previous studies. Criteria of enrolling into trial is same as our previous experiment: aged 18-80, unilateral, first occurrence, reducible, non-inguino-scrotal inguinal hernia fit for GA for minimally invasive hernia repair. Routine robotic TAPP performed in standardized manner and pre-peritoneal drains are placed for drainage of 23 hours post-operatively. Drain output, pain scores, status of seroma formation (clinical, USG detected), post-operative recovery and recurrence will be monitored and compared.
