Abstract
Background
The purpose of the present randomized trial was to compare the Jean Rives (JR) technique and the laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair for the treatment of primary inguinal hernias with respect to operating time, hospital stay, sick leave, chronic pain and recurrences after a follow-up of 10 years.
Methods
110 patients with primary inguinal hernia were randomized to either a JR repair (53 patients) or to a laparoscopic (TEP) repair (57 patients). All the interventions were exclusively realized by two experienced surgeons. Follow-up examinations were performed after 1, 6 months, 1, 5 and 10 years.
Results
Both groups were identical concerning age and hernia type, which were type II and type IIIa according to Nyhus classification. No significant difference was found concerning hospital stay, chronic pain and recurrences. The operating time was significantly lower in JR group, whereas the sick leave was significantly in favor of TEP group.
Conclusion
Jean Rives technique is a relatively easy technique to perform, requires shorter operating time when compared to laparoscopic TEP technique. JR technique should be taken into consideration while planning surgical treatment of inguinal hernia.
