Abstract:Objective To explore effects of automatic-fixation patch and biological patch on inflammatory factors and complications in the adult with inguinal hernia (IH) after laparoscopic surgery.Methods 80 IH patients from January 2017 to September 2019 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 40 cases in each. The control group was treated with biological patch, while observation group was treated with automatic-fixation patch. The operation condition, levels of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood [C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-6 (IL-6)] at 1st day before and after surgery, visual analogue scale (VAS) before surgery, at 1st day, 7th day and 15th day after surgery, complications and recurrence within 6 months after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in hospitalization time between the two groups (P > 0.05). The levels of IL-6 and CRP at 1st day after surgery in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in IL-10 level between the two groups (P > 0.05). The VAS scores at 1st, 7th and 15th day after surgery in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence of complications within 6 months after surgery between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no recurrence in either group.Conclusion Compared with biological patch, application of automatic-fixation patch in treatment of IH adults in laparoscopic surgery can reduce intraoperative blood loss, shorten operation time, alleviate postoperative inflammatory response, effectively relieve pain, and not increase incidence of complications and recurrence rate, with high safety.
