Summary

The objective of this study was to explore the clinical efficacy of transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) and open tension-free hernia repair in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia. This study aims to provide a basis for selecting the optimal treatment methods for recurrent hernias.

Detailed description

The patients were randomly allocated to the TAPP group and the open tension-free repair group. We recorded the general situation, operation time, and intraoperative complications; postoperative visual analogue pain scale (VAS) scores at 24 and 48 h; and the incidence of complications such as seroma, chronic pain, inguinal numbness, foreign body sensation, and recurrence at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. These indicators were compared between the two groups of patients.
