Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to explore the safety and efficacy of a novel mini-open sublay hernioplasty with D10 mesh for primary lumbar hernias.
Methods
This retrospective study included 48 patients with primary lumbar hernias who underwent mini-open sublay hernioplasty with D10 mesh from January 2015 to January 2022 in our hospital. Observation indicators were intraoperative measured diameter of hernia ring defect, operation time, length of hospital stay, postoperative follow-up, complications, postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score, chronic pain.
Results
The operations were completed successfully in all 48 cases. The mean diameter of hernia ring was 2.66 ± 0.57 cm (range 1.5–3.0 cm), the mean operation time was 41.54 ± 13.21 min (range 25–70 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 9.89 ± 6.16 ml (range 5–30 ml), and the mean hospital stay was 3.14 ± 1.53 days (range 1–6 days). The mean preoperative and postoperative VAS scores at 24 h were 0.29 ± 0.53 (range 0–2) and 2.52 ± 0.61 (range 2–6), respectively. All cases were followed-up for 53.4 ± 24.3 months (range 12–96 months) without seroma, hematoma, incision or mesh infection, recurrence, and obvious chronic pain.
Conclusion
A novel mini-open sublay hernioplasty with D10 mesh for primary lumbar hernias is safe and feasible. Its efficacy in the short term is favorable.
