Abstract: Objective To compare the effect between Titanium coating mesh and polypropylene mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Methods A total of 48 patients performed laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair from Jan. 2016 to Jun. 2016 were included into this study. All patients were divided into two groups randomly, including Titanium coating mesh group(observation group, n=24) and polypropylene mesh group(control group, n=24).The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, hospital stay, hospital cost, time return to work and complications were analyzed. Results All of the operations were performed successfully. No statistical difference was observed of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, hospital stay, time return to work between two groups(P>0.05). The difference of hospital cost, incidence of seroma and foreign body sensation were statistically(P<0.05). No recurrence, infection or chronic pain was observed at 1 year follow-up. In observation group, 1 seroma case and 6 foreign body sensation cases were observed. And in control group, 5 seroma cases and 8 foreign body sensation cases were observed, with lower hospital cost (P<0.05). Conclusion Use of Titanium coating mesh may decrease the incidence of seroma and foreign body sensation with same risk of recurrence and complications. It is worthy to be used for clinical practice although hospital cost may be higher than polypropylene mesh.
