Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is the safest, most comfortable anesthesia care for hernia repair
| Charateristic | Traditional method | The Integrative Hernioplasty |
| Low risk of anesthesia | Traditional surgery requires regional or general anesthesia, and the risk of anesthesia is high, especially in those with advanced age and poor cardiopulmonary function. | Local anesthesia+ intravenous sedation Local anesthesia is only required for the surgical site, and the safety is higher than regional and general anesthesia. Intravenous sedation are administered during surgery, and patients can sleep comfortably during the surgery. |
| Low recurrence rate | The recurrence rate for traditional tissue repair method is about 5-10%, 2-3% for mesh repair, and 3-7% for laparoscopic hernia repair. | 0.2%, low recurrence rate |
| Small surgical incision | The size of the wound for the traditional tissue repair method and artificial omental patch technique is about 5-10 cm while the size of the wound for endoscopic surgery is about three 1-2 cm incisions. | Minimal incision |
| Less foreign implant | In about 95% of traditional surgeries, foreign objects are used for reconstruction. | Most surgeries do not need implantation of foreign objects (reducing the permanent implantation of foreign artificial omentum). |
| Zero-length of stays | Traditional surgery requires hospitalization for 2-3 days. Must fast for 8 hours after surgery. Must lie down for 8 hours after surgery. Ten to twenty percent of patients may have to have a catheter inserted. Discharged the next day or two days after surgery. Strenuous exercise can be done three months after surgery. | Day surgery Recovery time is fast Can eat immediately after surgery. Can get up and walk immediately after surgery. Can get up and use the toilet immediately after surgery. Can be discharged six hours after surgery (can also choose to recuperate and be discharged on the day after surgery). Can resume exercise three weeks after surgery. |
| Low surgical pain | Traditional postoperative: Low to moderate degree of pain | Painless or low degree of pain |
| Reduction of complications | Depends on the situation. | Very few. |
