Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether the placement of drainage tube in the preperitoneal space can effectively prevent the occurrence of seroma after bilateral transabdominal preperitoneal prosthetic (TAPP) surgery. Methods The 64 patients with bilateral inguinal hernia admitted to our hospital from June 2017 to March 2019 were reviewed. According to whether or not the drainage tube was placed in the preperitoneal space, the patients were divided into group A (30 patients with drainage tube placed) and group B (34 patients without drainage tube placed). In group A, drainage tubes were placed in the preperitoneal space during TAPP. No drainage tube was placed in group B during TAPP, and the incidence of postoperative seroma and postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of seroma was 3.33% in group A and 23.53% in group B, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Placing drainage tube in the preperitoneal space can effectively prevent the occurrence of seroma after TAPP surgery and does not prolong the hospital stay.
