ABSTRACT

The inguinal hernia is a common condition in the pathology of the abdominal wall. Developments in its treatment go parallel with technology. Laparoscopic surgery and advances of prosthetic materials in order to repair these defects of the abdominal wall are the greatest impact on treating this disease. Material and methods: A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted. Patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair TAPP type in general surgery by a single surgical team in a period of nine years between January 2004 and January 2013 were included; in this study included patients with a diagnosis of right, left or bilateral hernia, no age limit, or sex. With a total of 121 patients (144 hernias) the following variables were analyzed: age, sex, length of hospital stay, infection, recurrence and reoperation inguinodynia. Results: We found 121 patients in this study, only one patient (0.82%) with recurrence which had to be reoperated with open surgery, 0 patients inguinodynia and 0 patients with infections. All were less than 24 hours hospitalized for the procedure.
