TEP repair, found to be superior than Lichtenstein repair operation; as it provides return to work early, the patients have less pain and less analgesic is needed, and less cost that promoted by the earlier return to work.

Abstract

Aim: To compare Lichtenstein and TEP methods regarding the endocrine and inflammatory response to surgery and the results of early postoperative period. Material and Method: 40 patients who had been operated for inguinal hernia at our clinic were included in the study. TEP was administered to the 20 patients while Lichtenstein was performed in another 20 patients. During the induction of anesthesia, postoperative 6th and 12th hours blood samples from the patients in both groups was obtained and serum ACTH, IL-6, WBC and CRP levels were measured. Results of early postoperative periods of operations were evaluated. Results: There was no difference between the two groups in terms of surgical endocrine responses. Inflammatory response parameters varied. In patients TEP applied on WBC values ​​and average checked at 6th hours at statistically significant degree higher while average of CRP values ​​checked in 6th hours is lower at statistically significant degree in the patients with TEP than patients who underwent Lichtenstein operation. There were no significant differences detected in any period between Lichtenstein and TEP group in terms of IL-6 value. Postoperative VAS values ​​of Lichtenstein group were statistically significantly higher than those of patients who underwent the TEP. Conclusion: In study there wasn’t difference between TEP and Lichtenstein repair in terms of inflammatory and endocrine responses. TEP repair, found to be superior than Lichtenstein repair operation; as it provides return to work early, the patients have less pain and less analgesic is needed, and less cost that promoted by the earlier return to work.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada inguinal herni nedeni ile yapılan Lichtenstein ve TEP yöntemleri, cerrahiye endokrin ve inflamatuvar yanıt ve postoperatif erken dönem sonuçları açısından karşılaştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde inguinal herni tanısı ile opere edilen 40 hasta çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Hastaların 20’sine TEP, 20’sine Lichtenstein onarımı yapıldı. Her iki gruptaki hastalardan anestezi indüksiyonu sırasında, postoperatif 6. ve 12. saatte kan alınarak serum ACTH, IL-6, WBC ve CRP düzeyleri bakıldı. Operasyonların postoperatif erken dönem sonuçları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Her iki grup arasında cerrahiye endokrin yanıt açısından fark bulunmadı. İnflamatuvar yanıtta parametreler değişkenlik göstermekte idi. TEP yapılan hastaların 6. saatte bakılan WBC değerleri ve ortalaması Lichtenstein yapılan hastalardan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksekken, yine 6. saatte bakılan CRP değerinin TEP yapılan hastalardaki ortalaması Lichtenstein yapılan hastaların ortalamasından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha düşük bulundu. IL-6 değerleri açısından TEP yapılan grup ile Lichtenstein yapılan grup arasında hiçbir dönemde anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. Lichtenstein yapılan grubun postoperatif VAS değerleri, TEP yapılan hastalardaki değerlerden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda TEP fıtık onarımı ile Lichtenstein fıtık onarımı arasında inflamatuvar ve endokrin yanıt açısından anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. TEP, hastaların erken işe dönmesi, daha az ağrı olması ve daha az analjeziğe ihtiyaç duyulması ve işe erken dönüşün de yarattığı daha az maliyet ile Lichtenstein fıtık onarımına göre daha üstün bulunmuştur.
