Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to characterize the patterns of recurrence associated with specific types of primary inguinal hernia repair techniques used for and their respective correlations with early morbidity, in patients undergoing open repair for their first hernia recurrence.

Methods

After ethics approval was obtained, a retrospective review of charts from patients who underwent open surgery for repair of a first recurrence after a previous inguinal hernia repair during 2013–2017 was completed. Statistical analyses were performed and p-values < .05 are reported as statistically significant.

Results

1393 patients underwent 1453 surgeries for recurrent inguinal hernias at this institution. Operations for recurrence were longer (61.9 ± 21.1 vs. 49.3 ± 11.9; p < .001), required more frequent intra-operative surgical consultation (1% vs. 0.2%; p < .001) and had a higher incidence of surgical-site infections (0.8% vs. 0.4%; p = .03) than primary inguinal hernia repairs. When comparing the patterns of recurrence among different techniques of primary repairs, patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair presented with a higher incidence of indirect recurrences. Reoperations after a Shouldice repair and open mesh repair represented markers for higher surgical difficulty in the recurrent operation (longer operative time, higher identification of heavy scarring, less nerve identification, and higher frequency of intra-operative consultation), but not higher rates of complications when compared with other techniques.

Conclusions

Open reoperations for inguinal hernia first recurrences are more complex, with noticeable differences according to the index operation, and associated with higher morbidity when compared with primary hernia repairs. This complexity varies according to the type of primary surgery, with a previous Shouldice repair and open hernia repair with mesh presenting higher surgical difficulties although this did not translate to higher incidence of early complications. This information may allow adequate allocation of surgeons with an expertise in recurrent hernias and choice of recurrent repair method (laparoscopic or open) based on the primary surgery.
