It was developed in the 19th century. A recent report revealed high recurrence
rate, long hospital stay and delayed recovery. But high ligation and simple
closure of the opening (Marcy's procedure) is suitable for young adults,
especially women.
The most popular tension-free method in Japan. Onlay patch
（The newest prosthesis, permitted by the Japanese government in Dec. 2005.
It's also one of the tension-free methods. It has merits of both the mesh-plug
and original Kugel. Some specialists like this method. Inlay patch
Also one of the tension-free methods. It offers minimal incision, but it's
a little more expensive than open techniques. A recent study revealed relatively
high recurrence rate compared to open procedures. Inlay patch
We will decide the procedure with consideration for your age, gender and
symptoms.
Our first recommendation for patients middle age and above is the "Direct Kugel procedure".
no prosthesis short hospital stay and early recovery with Marcy's method long hospital stay (5-7 days) with Bassini's method High recurrence rate 5-15% with Bassini's method You may feel some tension or discomfort with Bassini's method.
An approximately 150-year-old method. No synthetic material is used in
this procedure. After removal of the hernia sac, the abnormal abdominal
wall opening is closed. The suture is not so tight in Marcy's method. It
allows a short hospital stay and early recovery. But the tissue is sutured
very tightly in Bassini's method. Patients have to stay longer in the hospital.
The recurrence rate with Bassini's method is 5 to 15 %.
with prosthesis short hospital stay and early recovery low recurrence rate <1% most popular procedure in Japan
One of the hernioplasty methods developed in the 1990's. To cover the
hernia port, two pieces of synthetic material are placed in the inguinal
canal (onlay). This method is the most popular in Japan now. The recurrence
rate is lower (approximately 1 to 5 %) than conventional methods. A short
hospital stay and early recovery are major merits. There are a few varying
procedures and materials. (Lichtenstein, PHS etc.)
with prosthesis short hospital stay and early recovery low recurrence rate <1% whole cover of inguinal weak point
This procedure is also tension-free and is derived from the original Kugel
method. Open approach through the inguinal canal and placement of the mesh
on the preperitoneal space are performed. The shape of the mesh is round.
It is approximately 10cm in diameter round framed with fine vinyl tube.
The mesh can fully cover the weak point of the groin region.
with prosthesis short hospital stay (3 days) and early recovery general anesthesia relatively high cost in Japan relatively long operation time
Three small holes are made on the abdomen. A scope and instruments are
put through the holes, and a piece of mesh is placed on the preperitoneal
space (inlay). It was developed in the 1990's.
Short hospital stay. General anesthesia and relatively high cost are necessary.
