In order to evaluate the usefulness of mesh plug method, these 115 cases (group M) were compared with another 115 cases undergone conventional hernioplasty (group B) in the same period for operating time, suture method, times needed analgesics, hospital stay, postoperative complication, and recurrence rate. Operating time was 41 ± 15 minutes (mean ± standard deviation) in group M, and it came to 40 ± 12 minutes in group B. The skin was closed with the buried suture in 94 cases of group M and in only two cases of group B. Sixty-three patients (55%) did not need narcotic analgesics and 77 patients (67%) were discharged within postoperative 6 days in group M, but in group B, 27 (23%) and 6 (5.3%) patients, respectively. Postoperative complications were observed in four patients from each group (3.5%). Two patients with direct hernia in group M experienced recurrence in the vicinity of the pubic bone. In comparison with conventional hernioplasty, the mesh plug method lessens postoperative discomforts and minimizes hospital stay by using the buried suture.}, pages = {234--238}, title = {成人鼠径ヘルニアに対するmesh plug法の検討}, volume = {114}, year = {2000} }
