Abstract

Inguinal hernias are common surgical problems that affect millions of people worldwide. They occur when a part of the intestine or other abdominal organ protrudes through a weak spot in the groin area. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a new era of minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions and a camera to insert a mesh that covers the defect and prevents recurrence.
Tackers and cyanoacrylate glue are two different methods of mesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Tackers are titanium clips that are used to secure the mesh to the abdominal wall, while cyanoacrylate glue is a synthetic adhesive that is applied to the mesh and the peritoneum. ¹³
Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Tackers are easy to use and provide strong fixation, but they may cause tissue damage, nerve injury, chronic pain, or bleeding. Cyanoacrylate glue is less invasive and less painful, but it may have a higher risk of infection, allergic reaction, or recurrence.
Several studies have compared the outcomes of these two methods in terms of postoperative pain, complications, recurrence, hospital stay, and cost. The results are not consistent, but some studies suggest that cyanoacrylate glue may be superior to tackers in reducing chronic pain and shortening hospital stay, without increasing morbidity or recurrence.
In our study, you found that there is no significant difference between tackers and cyanoacrylate glue in mesh fixation for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. This may be due to the sample size, the follow-up period.
