Objective
: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) is conventionally done by general anesthesia.
This procedure can be performed by regional anesthesia. We present four years of experiences (Jan 2012–Dec 2015) using regional
anesthesia for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair TAPP to assess the feasibility and safety of this procedure.
Methods
: Between Jan, 2012 to Dec, 2015, 93 patients with inguinal hernias, ASA I & II, underwent TAPP repair under loco regional
anesthesia [spinal/peridural/combined, sedation (Midazolam) and analgesia (morphine/fentanyl)], spinal anesthesia level VL III–
IV, Spinocan 29G with block target VTh IV-V using a low pressure CO2 (10–12 mm Hg) pneumoperitoneum. Strangulated and
obstructed patients were excluded but irreducible were included. All defects covered by low weight plain mesh 10x15 cm and fixated
by secure strap. Patients were followed up over one year period.
Results
: There was neither conversion from spinal anesthesia to general anesthesia nor to opened surgery. Age: 17–53 years (average:
32 years), sex: male 88 patients, female five patients. Defects: unilateral 88, bilateral five, six patients with recurrent case. Operating
time: 30–135 minutes (average: 60 minutes). Average hospital stays one, five days (one–two days). Two patients complained of
shoulder pain, two patients suffered bradycardia and one hypotension intra operatively. There were no postural headache, PONV
(post-operative nausea and vomiting) and urinary retention found.
Conclusion
: TAPP repair is feasible and safe under regional anesthesia. Further studies are required to validate this technique.
