Purpose: This prospective, randomized, double-blind study compared the analgesic efficacy and safety of parecoxib sodium versus lornoxicam and diclofenac, after Lichtenstein tension-free mesh inguinal hernia repair.
Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to receive parecoxib 80 mg daily i.v. (Group A), lornoxicam 16 mg daily i.v. (Group B) or diclofenac 150 mg daily i.m. (Group C). Rescue analgesia in all groups consisted of pethidine 25 mg i.m. Pain was measured with an analogue scale (pain intensity score).
Results: Patients treated with parecoxib 80 mg reported significantly lower summed pain intensity scores compared with lornoxicam and diclofenac-treated patients. Duration of analgesia was also significantly longer with parecoxib than with lornoxicam and diclofenac. Adverse events were significantly less common in the parecoxib and lornoxicam group, compared with diclofenac group.
Conclusions: Multiple-day administration of parecoxib 40 mg twice daily is more effective than equivalent doses of lornoxicam and diclofenac, and generally better tolerated than diclofenac after Lichtenstein tension-free mesh inguinal hernia repair.

Comparison of Hernia Sac Transection and Full Sac Reduction for the Treatment of Inguinal Hernias: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials.

Background: The history of inguinal hernia repair has been marked by the description of several therapies over ages, each with its own approach to managing the hernial sac. An analysis of hernia sac transection (with or without high ligation) versus reduction (invagination) in adults who underwent Lichtenstein open tension-free inguinal hernia repair and in adult and pediatric patients who underwent suture repair has been the primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: The authors conducted a comprehensive review and meta-analysis.
Comparison of Postoperative Short-term Complications and Recurrence after One Year between Laparoscopic Transabdominal Pre-peritoneal (TAPP) and Lichtenstein Tension Free Repair on the Treatment of Primary Unilateral Inguinal Hernia.

Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common cases of elective surgery. Several methods are used to repair inguinal hernia, however, none of these methods have been introduced as the preferred method. Based on this, the current study was designed with the aim of comparing the postoperative short-term complications and recurrence after one year between laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) and Lichtenstein tension free repair in the treatment of primary unilateral inguinal hernia.

Objective: To compare the effect of self-gripping mesh and suture mesh in Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair.
Methods: A computer search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Ovid, and Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted from January 2010 to October 2021 to compare the efficacy of self-gripping mesh versus suture mesh in Lichtenstein tension-free hernia repair. After screening the literature based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literature was assessed for quality and poor quality literature was excluded and subsequently meta-analyzed using Review Manager 5.

Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common visceral surgical conditions in industrialised countries. The aim of the present observational clinical study was to investigate the dermatome patterns after nerve injury following inguinal hernia surgery and to demonstrate the marked individual anatomical and topographical variability of peripheral nerves in the inguinal region.
Methods: 220 patients were followed up for one year after inguinal herniotomy.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the effectiveness and outcomes of two surgical methods for treating bilateral inguinal hernias: Lichtenstein repair and Rives-Stoppa repair, in order to improve patient care.
- This research analyzed data from 86 male patients who underwent these procedures and assessed various post-operative complications over three months.
- The findings showed no significant differences in complication rates or hernia recurrence between the two methods, indicating that both repair techniques can be considered equally effective for managing bilateral inguinal hernias.
