Objectives: This study investigated short-term outcomes of Lichtenstein hernia
repair using self-gripping Parietex ProGrip mesh in Chinese patients with inguinal hernias.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing Lichtenstein hernia repair using the
Parietex ProGrip mesh at a single hospital in China between July 2012 and June 2013. All patients
completed the EuroQol-five dimensions (EuroQoL-5D) and short form-36 questionnaires
and were followed up at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month. and 6 months, postoperatively.
Results: Ninety cases (66 males, 24 females) were studied. Mean
standard deviation (SD) patient
age was 48.7
16.8 (range, 21e87) years. Most hernias were Gilbert’s type II (23%) or III
(31%). During 6 months of follow-up, none of the patients had recurrent hernia or systemic
postoperative complications. The mean
SD pain visual analog scale score decreased from
32
10.6 at postoperative Day 1 to 0.67
2.5 at 6 months. From postoperative Day 1 to 6
months, there were marked improvements in health and health-related quality of life;
mean
SD visual analog scale EuroQoL score increased from 55.3
8 to 95.2
3 and
mean
SD HR EuroQoL score from 0.31
0.07 to 0.95
0.02. At 6 months, mean scores in
all eight dimensions of the short form-36 questionnaires had increased from baseline.
Conclusion: The use of self-fixating Parietex ProGrip mesh in open inguinal hernia repair is simple,
rapid, effective, and safe, and is associated with low postoperative pain and improved
quality life among patients.
