Modified laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh in complicated inguinal hernia surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo analyse the recurrence rate and postoperative complications in inguinal hernia patients where the laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique (IPOM) was used due to preperitoneal fibrosis.
methodsPatients who had undergone inguinal herniotomy with the IPOM technique at Horsens Regional Hospital during the calender years of 2004 through 2010 filled out a questionnaire specific for recurrence and postoperative complications and had a clinical examination. Furthermore the medical records and national databases were analysed for reoperations for recurrent hernias.
results37 patients (38 hernias) were operated. Two patients had a recurrent hernia (5 %), four patients (11 %) reported chronic pain and six patients (16 %) reported various bowel symptoms after the operation.
conclusionsThe optimal treatment of these relatively rare and complicated patients is still an issue of debate, but in the light of the present study it seems that the IPOM technique is equal to or has a better profile compared to Lichtenstein in terms of re-recurrence and chronic pain. We believe that the IPOM technique has a place in the treatment of these patients.
