摘要
Objective: The objective of this article is to systematically analyse the randomised, controlled trials comparing tacker mesh fixation (TMF) versus no-mesh fixation (NMF) in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR). Methods: Randomised, controlled trials comparing TMF versus NMF in LIHR were analysed systematically using RevMan (R), and combined outcomes were expressed as risk ratio (RR) and standardised mean difference (SMD). Results: Eight randomised, controlled trials encompassing 1386 patients were retrieved from the electronic databases. There were 691 patients in the TMF group and 695 patients in the NMF group. Statistically there was non-significant heterogeneity among trials. In random effects models, operating time (p = 0.15), postoperative pain (p = 0.45), post-operative complications (p = 0.55) and length of hospital stay (p = 0.11) were statistically comparable between two techniques of mesh fixation in LIHR. The risk of developing chronic groin pain (p = 0.67) and risk of hernia recurrence (p = 0.77) was also similar. Conclusion: NMF in LIHR does not increase the risk of hernia recurrence. It is comparable with TMF in terms of operation time, post-operative pain, post-operative complications, length of hospital stay and chronic groin pain. Therefore, based upon the results of this review NMF approach may be adopted routinely and safely in LIHR. (C) 2012 Surgical Associates Ltd. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
