This study retrospectively reviewed the data of 243 male patients aged 18-21 who underwent inguinal hernia repair, and found that there were no significant differences in immediate postoperative outcomes and recurrence rates between the mesh and no-mesh groups, but there was a significant difference in chronic pain rates.
Purpose: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common treatments worldwide, but there are few studies about the use of mesh in late adolescent patients because hernias are rare in this group. This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes of hernia repair with and without mesh in late adolescent patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 243 male patients aged between 18 and 21 years who underwent inguinal hernia repair at a single institution from January 2013 to December 2017. We distinguished 2 groups depending on the repair method; mesh (n = 121) and no-mesh (n = 122) groups. We compared the baseline characteristics, immediate postoperative outcomes, and recurrence and chronic pain rates between the 2 groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the mesh and no-mesh groups on immediate postoperative outcomes (length of stay: 18.5 +/- 8.9 days vs. 17.0 +/- 6.0 days, P = 0.139; postoperative complications: 8.2% vs. 6.6%, P = 0.821) and 2-year recurrence rate (0.8% vs. 2.6%, P = 0.194). There was a significant difference in the chronic pain rate (9.0% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.023). Conclusion: Using mesh for inguinal hernia repair in late adolescent male patients increases chronic postoperative inguinal pain. [Ann Surg Treat Res 2021;100(4):246-251]
