Abstract

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations in general surgery. The Lichtenstein tension-free operation has become gold standard in open inguinal hernia repair. Despite    the low recurrence rates; pain and discomfort remain a problem for a large number of patients. 

Aim: This study was to compare suture fixation vs. histoacryl sealing using a monofilament prolene mesh.  

Patient and Methods: A total of 100 patients randomly underwent primary inguinal hernia Lichtenstein repair fixing the mesh by prolene suture or by histoacryl; in both cases the mesh was fixed to the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and to the inguinal ligament. Follow-up time was 6 months.  

Results: Significantly, less postoperative pain was reported in histoacyl sealant group compared to the suture group Additionally, trends toward a higher postoperative quality of life, a   faster surgical procedure, and a shorter hospital stay were seen in the sealant group.

Conclusion: A widespread technique for the treatment of inguinal hernia is the application of a mesh using Lichtenstein procedure, the prosthesis can be fixed by traditional suture or using a new method of sutureless fixation with adhesive materials that shows an excellent local tolerability and lack of adverse effects and contraindications.
