Abstract
The study was undertaken to determine the similar efficacy of swadeshi material in Lichtenstein’s hernioplasty as that of polypropylene mesh at the same time being 20 times cheaper. The swadeshi material is prepared from mosquito net made of polyethylene and sterilised with ethylene oxide. The material was subjected to physical and chemical analysis. The cost of the material is twenty times cheaper than the commercially available polypropylene material. From January 2018 to January 2019, 50 patients presenting with inguinal hernia in GRH Madurai will be recruited in this study, after getting consent. The standard Lichtenstein operation for hernia repair were performed under spinal anaesthesia with polypropylene mesh in the control group and swadeshi material (polyethylene mesh/mosquito net) in the study group. From the study it was evident that incidence of seroma, hematoma, wound infection, early recurrence, foreign body sensation, altered groin sensation were similar in the control group and the study group. However patients in the study group had less incidence of postoperative pain and early return to day to day activities compared to the control group. The use of a swadeshi material (polyethylene mosquito net) in lichtensteins hernioplasty is thus as efficacious as use of polypropylene mesh but cheaper and hence can be used to reduce cost in developing and underdeveloped countries.
