| Popis: | Background Sutured inguinal hernia repairs are now uncommon, with evidence suggesting that those augmented with mesh are associated with a lower recurrence rate. We aimed to explore the suggestion that the established use of mesh does indeed lower the rate of operation for recurrence in a single National Health Service region. Method We collected retrospective Office of Population Censuses and Surveys coded data across one region of all primary and recurrent inguinal hernia repairs over 15 years (2004–2019). Electronic records of recurrent repairs were scrutinised to identify year and type of previous primary repair. Results In total, 7,234 repairs were performed during this time, of which 289 (4%) were for symptomatic recurrence. Operations for primary repair increased year on year (111 in 2004 to 402 in 2019). Frequency of operation for recurrent herniation declined with increasing use of mesh (8.8% in 2004 to 3.5% in 2019). The majority of repairs (73%) for recurrence were by an open approach. As opposed to an open mesh repair, a primary laparoscopic repair was associated with an earlier recurrence. Conclusions Inguinal hernia repairs are increasing in frequency but operations for later symptomatic recurrence following an open primary prosthetic mesh repair are not. |
