Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic hernioplasty in the treatment of elderly indirect inguinal hernia. Method 40 elderly patients with indirect inguinal hernia who were admitted to Xingpu Hospital in Suzhou Industrial Park from January 2019 to April 2022 were selected to undergo hernia repair. They were divided into control group and observation group with 20 patients each according to different operation methods. The control group was treated with traditional open tension-free hernioplasty, and the observation group was treated with laparoscopic hernioplasty. Result The patients in the observation group had less intraoperative bleeding, shorter incision length, shorter time to get out of bed and stay in hospital, and the incidence of

postoperative complications was significantly lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic hernioplasty for the treatment of indirect inguinal hernia in the elderly has higher safety, less damage and is more conducive to the recovery of patients.
