Transabdominal partial extraperitoneal repair of lumbar hernia:A clinical study of 12 patients
Abstract：Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of transabdominal partial extraperitoneal (TAPE) repair of lumbar hernia. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with lumbar hernia underwent TAPE repair between May 2009 and July 2013 in Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were analyzed retrospectively. Results The average size of the hernia defect was (81.3±43.9) cm2. The average size of the mesh employed was (266.7± 103.0) cm2. There was no conversion to open surgery. The mean surgical time was (60.3 ± 10.4) minutes. No intra-operative complications occurred. No patients need to take analgesic postoperatively. The mean VAS were 3.9 ± 0.7 and 2.7 ± 0.6 on the first day and the third day after surgery (POD1 and POD3) respectively. The mean postoperative hospitalization was (5.0 ± 1.4) days. All patients returned to unrestricted activity within two weeks after surgery. During the follow-up period,no recurrence and complications were observed. Conclusion TAPE is a novel laparoscopic technique with safety and effectiveness for lumbar hernia repair. Its efficacy in short-term is certain.
