NCT02984917

Brief Summary

To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the anterior transversalis fascia approach versus the preperitoneal approach for inguinal hernia repair in residents from northern China regarding common postoperative complications (including acute and chronic pain, wound infection, rates of wound infection, hematoma, seroma, and hernia recurrence) and severe postoperative complications.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • VAS pain score

    Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) pain score is one of the most commonly used tools for assessing pain.It comprises a 10 cm line with 0 at one end, representing no pain, and 10 at the other end, representing the worst pain imaginable; the patient places a mark on the line to indicate the degree of pain that they are experiencing.

    changes of month 1, month 3, month 12, month 24 after operation

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative complications

    changes of month 1, month 3, month 12, month 24 after operation

Study Arms (2)

anterior transversalis fascia approach

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with inguinal hernia will undergo inguinal hernia repair via the anterior transversalis fascia approach.

Procedure: Anterior transversalis fascia approach

preperitoneal space approach

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with inguinal hernia will undergo inguinal hernia repair via the preperitoneal space approach.

Procedure: Preperitoneal space approach

Interventions

Patients will undergo inguinal hernia repair via the anterior transversalis fascia approach.
