Abstract As most of the female inguinal hernias are of indirect type, we conducted this retrospective study to evaluate whether the single port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suture is feasible for the management of indirect inguinal hernia in female adults. From April 2016 to August 2019, there were 31 female adults who were diagnosed with inguinal hernias and received laparoscopic inspection at our surgical department. One patient who was finally diagnosed as an encysted hydrocele was excluded from the statistic study. All the 30 cases were of indirect type with a total of 35 single port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring sutures performed. The median age was 38 years (range 20–88 years). The number and percentage of patients with right, left and bilateral hernias were 17 (56%), 11 (37%) and 2 (7%) respectively. Three contralateral patent processi vaginalium and 1 occult femoral hernia were found during operation. The percentages of the respective classifications according to the European Hernia Society system for the 35 PIRSs were L1: 40%, L2: 49%, and L3: 11%. The average operation time was 18 min for unilateral and 30 min for bilateral hernias. There were 1 recurrence and 1 chronic postoperative inguinal pain. Both had their symptoms and signs resolved after reoperation. The mean follow-up period was 13.6 months. We concluded that the single-port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suture is feasible for the management of indirect inguinal hernia in female adults.

Open Mesh Repair

Background: In the practice of General Surgery, hernia repair is the second most common procedure after appendectomy. Several methods have been developed over the years to try to improve hernia repair. Good result can be expected using Bassini's, McVay's, Shouldice's techniques provided the exact nature of hernia is recognized and the repair is done without tension using healthy tissue. The introduction of synthetic mesh started a new era in hernia surgery. The use of synthetic mesh repair of primary and recurrent hernias has gradually gained acceptance among surgeons. Objective: To find out the outcome and complications of open inguinal hernia repair with prolene mesh. Methods: This is a prospective cross sectional study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, from December, 2011 to May, 2012. One hundred patients of inguinal hernia admitted in different surgical units of BSMMU, Dhaka for elective surgery were studied. We have given 1 gm ijv Cephradine per operatively and then 500 gm cephradine ijv 6 hourly for 24 hours followed by oral form of Cephradine for next 5 days. Polypropylene mesh of 11 cm x 7 cm size was used in all cases. All the operations were done by open tension free prolene mesh repair technique. Patients were followed for one year to see the outcome. Results: Out of 100 cases of inguinal hernia, 71 patients (71%) had indirect inguinal hernia and 29 cases (29%) had direct inguinal hernia; 90 cases (90%) were primary hernia and only 10 cases (10%) were recurrent hernia; 58 cases were right sided, 34 cases (34%) were left sided and 8 cases (8%) were bilateral. Complications of mesh repair of groin hernia in this study included wound infection (5%), scrotal oedema (2%), mesh infection (0%), scrotal hematoma (2%), echymoces of peri-incisional skin (5%), early wound and groin pain (7%), chronic inguinodynia (2%), hernia recurrence (1%). Conclusion: In the present study an attempt is made to evaluate the outcome of patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair by prolene mesh. The results confirm that Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair of inguinal hernia is safe and reliable for both primary and recurrent groin hernia, with less recurrence rate. Patient's compliance was good with minimum morbidity. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2018) Vol. 22 (1): 21-24

Inguinal Hernia In Children

Aims and Objectives: To know the most common surgical problems in pediatric patients presented with inguino-scrotal swellings and management done routinely. Methodology: This study was carried out in the department of general surgery, Sharadaben hospital and pediatric surgery of VS hospital, Ahmedabad. The cases were studied for a period of about one year (January, 2017 to Dec, 2017) and all children below 12 years of age, presenting to us with inguinoscrotal swellings were included in this study. The information was analysed in terms of age, diagnosis, procedure carried out and outcome. Results: Amongst the 150 children under the age of 12 years, 143 patients were males and 7 were females. Among these 150, 52 cases were of hydrocoele, 70 cases of hernia (of which 63 were males and 7 were females), 25 cases of undescended testis and 3 cases of epididymo orchitis were documented. All cases underwent simple herniotomy for hernia and hydrocoele, orchidopexy for undescended testis. The length of hospital stay ranged from 2-4 days with mean of 2.46 days. 11 children in the study were documented to have short term complications, all of which were recognised in the hospital and managed with good results. Conclusion: Hernia and Hydrocoele in children are often congenital and diagnosed clinically (history and examination). Indirect inguinal hernia are more common than other groin hernias. Open herniotomy is the operation of choice for inguinal hernia in children.

Abstract One of the most common urological emergencies encountered in pediatric patients in the emergency department (ED) is the acute scrotum. We present the case of a 4-month-old male that presented to our community ED with scrotal swelling and vomiting of 16-hours duration. He was diagnosed with a functional testicular torsion from an incarcerated inguinal hernia, transferred to a hospital with pediatric urological capabilities and was taken to the operating room ~2 hours later. His hospital course was unremarkable, and he was discharged on day 3, having made a full recovery without any loss of bowel or testicle. There have only been a handful of cases in the literature of a pediatric patient presenting with a functional testicular torsion as a result of spermatic cord compression from an indirect inguinal hernia, with no reported cases of complete salvage at nearly 18 hours since symptom onset.

Benign Condition

Hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a pathologic defect in its surrounding wall. Overall, hernia is common and is generally believed to be a benign condition associated with some morbidity, although it is not thought to be associated with significant mortality. Between 2001 and 2010, 2.3 million inpatient abdominal hernia repairs were performed in the United States, of which 567,000 were performed emergently. In some cases, a hernia can be a deadly condition. In 2002, hernia was listed as the cause of death for 1,595 US citizens. This review covers the pathophysiology, stabilization and assessment, diagnosis and treatment, and disposition and outcomes of hernia. Figures show anatomic locations of the various abdominal wall, groin, lumbar, and pelvic floor hernias; a direct inguinal hernia; an indirect inguinal hernia; point-of-care sonograms showing a ventral wall hernia and an abdominal wall hernia; and the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass based on anatomic location. Tables list risk factors for the development of inguinal hernia, sex-based differences in inguinal hernia development, risk factors for the development of incisional hernia, factors to consider when assessing the patient for a hernia, and factors associated with the highest rates of incarceration in patients with groin hernia. Key words: emergent hernia, hernia incarceration, incisional hernia, inguinal hernia, strangulated hernia This review contains 6 highly rendered figures, 5 tables, and 66 references.
