Résumé
Background. The use of fibrin glue to fix meshes in open and laparoscopic hernia repair has recently evolved.
Methods. A literature search through the PubMed database was performed to assess the use of fibrin glue for mesh fixation. Twenty-nine trials were finally included in the review (10 randomized controlled trials, 7 non-randomized trials and 12 case series). The endpoints were operative time, seroma formation, recovery time, recurrence rate and postoperative early and chronic pain.
Results. There was only a small difference between the groups regarding operative times, with a trend towards shorter operative times with fibrin sealant. There was no evidence for increased seroma formation after fibrin sealing. Recovery times were shorter after using fibrin glue and recurrence rates were similar in both groups. The main finding was reduced acute and chronic pain after fibrin sealing.
Conclusion. Fibrin sealing for mesh fixation in open and endoscopic hernia repair is a feasible and safe technique.
