Sperm motility after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with lightweight meshes: 3-year follow-up of a randomised clinical trial

Purpose To analyse the effects of lightweight meshes in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair on male fertility aspects, chronic pain development and recurrence at 3-year follow-up. Methods Fifty-nine male patients with a primary, unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia were randomised to laparoscopic...

description Purpose To analyse the effects of lightweight meshes in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair on male fertility aspects, chronic pain development and recurrence at 3-year follow-up. Methods Fifty-nine male patients with a primary, unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia were randomised to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using a standard polypropylene (Marlex ® ) or lightweight mesh (VyproII ® , TiMesh ® ). Patients attended clinical follow-up 3 years postoperatively, at which male fertility aspects, by semen analysis and scrotal ultrasound, chronic pain status (McGill Pain Questionnaire), quality of life (SF-36) and recurrence were assessed, or completed quality of life, pain and hernia-specific questionnaires at home. Results In total, 49 patients (83.1 %) completed follow-up (median follow-up = 39.1 months), by questionnaire and/or clinical follow-up. As other semen parameters and scrotal ultrasound results, sperm motility was unchanged compared to 1 year postoperatively, but not significantly different between VyproII ® and TiMesh ® versus Marlex ® patients (−8.5 % and −8 % vs. −2.8 %; P  = 0.23). Pain perception and quality of life were comparable between the heavyweight and lightweight groups, and no change was noted in comparison with 1 year postoperatively. Chronic pain incidence was 6.1 % (3 patients), without occurrence of disabling pain. Three patients were clinically diagnosed with a recurrent hernia (5.9 %). Conclusions The decrease in sperm motility in patients operated on with a lightweight mesh compared to patients operated on with a heavyweight mesh 1 year after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair could not be confirmed at 3 years follow-up. Furthermore, heavyweight and lightweight groups were comparable regarding quality of life, chronic pain and recurrence rate.
