Sponsor's own description

Liver transplant recipients share the risk with cirrhotic patients for the development of inguinal hernias, but their liver failure pathophysiology has reversed following transplantation. Despite immunosuppression alters wound healing and infections, inguinal hernia repair in transplanted patients has shown better outcome compared to cirrhotic patients. Endoscopic inguinal hernia techniques have proved to be superior to open repair, due to lower incidence of postoperative complications and short-term convalescence, but there is no evidence of the use of this approach in liver transplanted patients. This prospective consecutive case series study will be the first study to describe the postoperative results of groin hernia repair in ambulatory surgery regimen in liver transplanted patients using totally extraperitoneal approach. The included patients will be prospectively registered in a standardized database. Rate of completion of surgery by totally extraperitoneal approach without the needing of conversion to anterior open approach or transabdominal preperitoneal approach due technical difficulties will be evaluated. Postoperative complications all along with quality standards criteria of ambulatory surgery will be reported for descriptive purposes.
