Key Highlights
- IPOM PLUS had a significantly shorter mean surgical time (79.13 min) compared to SCOM/SCOLA (94.53 min).
- Postoperative pain relief was superior in the SCOM/SCOLA group after the 7th day.
- Higher incidence of seroma in SCOM/SCOLA group (86.7% in the 1st week) compared to IPOM PLUS (6.7%).
- IPOM PLUS resulted in shorter hospital stays (1.83 days) than SCOM/SCOLA (5.07 days).
- SCOM/SCOLA incurred greater total costs due to prolonged hospitalization.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
- Evaluate umbilical and para-umbilical hernias for surgical intervention.
Management
- Consider findings from the study for surgical technique selection.
Monitoring & Follow-up
- Monitor for seroma formation post-surgery.
Risks
- Higher risk of seroma with SCOM/SCOLA technique.
