The systemic inflammatory response was normalized before or on the seventh postoperative day .
Conclusions Hernia repair elicits a systemic inflammatory response characterized by an increase in CRP , IL-6 , leukocytes , neutrophils , IL-1 , IL-10 , fibrinogen , and α1-antitrypsin and a decrease in lymphocytes and albumin .
A higher inflammatory response was found after mesh repair compared with non-mesh repair and after open mesh repair compared with laparoscopic mesh repair
Purpose All surgical procedures elicit a complex systemic inflammatory response effectuated and modulated by cytokines .
The purpose of this systematic review was to present an overview of the inflammatory response and the serum markers associated with hernia repair and to compare the response between patients treated with and without mesh .
Lipid peroxidation and inguinal hernia repair. Tension-free vs. Andrews technique.
AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the early effect of inguinal hernia repair by the tension-free method compared to the conventional And rew 's technique on lipid peroxidation . PATIENTS - METHODS Thirty-four patients subjected to elective hernia repair were enrolled in the study divided in two groups . Group A ( n=18 ) underwent  hernia repair  by the tension-free method using a polypropylene mesh . Group B ( n=16 ) underwent  hernia repair by the And rew 's technique ( i.e. a modification of the Bassini 's technique ) . Venous blood sample s were drawn preoperatively and at 12 , 24 and 48 h postoperatively . Malondialdehyde ( MDA ) was estimated by the thiobarbiturate assay . RESULTS Neutrophil counts were significantly higher in patients of group B compared to group A at 12 and 48 h postoperatively . Concentrations of fibrinogen were similar between the two groups . MDA was significantly higher in patients of group B hours compared to group A at 12 , 24 and 48 h postoperatively . Positive correlation was found between neutrophil counts and MDA at 12 h ( r : + 0.43 , P : 0.015 ) and 48 h ( r : + 0.496 , P : 0.005 ) but not at 24 h. No correlation was found between serum fibrinogen and MDA . CONCLUSION Hernia repair by the And rews 's technique elicits a sustained triggering of lipid peroxidation , compared to the tension-free method
The systemic inflammatory response was normalized before or on the seventh postoperative day .
