Indirect inguinal hernia is a common medical condition that can be caused by an embryological defect due to failure of closure of processus vaginalis that can lead to herniation (i.e. abnormal protrusion) of abdominal contents into scrotal sac in males. In this paper, we describe an interesting case report of a patient with bilateral inguinal hernia with hydroceles who underwent a modified shouldice repair. In addition, we also discuss initial presentation & surgical management of this patient who had painless postero-inferior displacement of testes. Reason why we think this case is unique, is because of ‘bilateral’ hydroceles along with bilateral inguinal hernia which is rarely seen as compared to its unilateral counterparts. We also describe various surgical steps of modified shouldice repair with bilateral orchiopexy along with the post-operative outcome. Finally, we also discuss various types of hydroceles, along with its pathology that is found after surgical resection.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.7(1) 2017: 62-65

Background The optimal method to achieve analgesia after inguinal hernia repair in children is unknown. This study compared the analgesic efficacy, adverse events, and the costs associated with supplementation of local anesthesia (infiltration of the wound) with either intravenous ketorolac or caudal analgesia in children having inguinal hernia repair. Methods With parental consent and institutional review board approval, children aged 2-6 yr having elective, outpatient inguinal hernia repair were studied in this randomized, single-blinded investigation. Anesthesia was induced by inhalation with nitrous oxide and halothane or intravenously with propofol. Anesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide and halothane. Patients were randomly assigned to receive caudal analgesia (1 ml/kg 0.20% bupivacaine with 1/200,000 epinephrine) or intravenous ketorolac (1 mg/kg) immediately after induction of anesthesia. Both groups received field blocks with 0.25% bupivacaine administered by the surgeon under direct vision during operation. Patients were assessed for 24 h. In-hospital pain was assessed using a behavior-based pain score. Parents assessed pain with a visual linear analog pain scale with anchors of 0 (no pain) and 100 (worst pain imaginable). Results The authors studied 164 children, with 84 patients in the ketorolac group. The groups had similar demographic data. In-hospital analgesic requirements and pain scores were almost identical in both groups. Pain at home was significantly less in the ketorolac group, with visual linear analog pain scale scores of 10 (0-80) compared with 20 (0-80) (median [range]) for ketorolac versus caudal (P = 0.002 by the Mann-Whitney U test). The ketorolac group also had a lower incidence of vomiting, ambulated more rapidly, and micturated earlier (P < 0.05). Conclusion The use of intravenous ketorolac to supplement local anesthesia infiltrated by the surgeon during pediatric inguinal hernia repair is superior to supplementation with caudal analgesia.

Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to compare the frequency of inguinodynia in ilioinguinal neurectomy VS no neurectomy in patients undergoing Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty. Method 200 male patients with unilateral, primary, reducible inguinal hernia were randomly distributed in to two groups by using lottery method to undergo Lichtenstein’s hernia repair i.e., with and without ilioinguinal neurectomy. All the operation were carried out under local anesthesia. Pain score was calculated using the VAS system at 3rd month and inguinodynia was labelled if it is more than 1 on VAS scale. Results 200 male patients with mean age of 53.25 ± 6.768 were included. 42 (21%) had Inguinodynia after surgery. When we cross tabulated both groups with inguinodynia, results came up significant (p = 0.001). In neurectomy group 10 patients had inguinodynia while in no neurectomy group, 32 patients were having Inguinodynia. There was no effect of malnutrition on outcome. Younger age group benefitted more from procedure. Conclusions It is concluded that there is difference in frequency of inguinodynia in ilioinguinal neurectomy versus no neurectomy in patients undergoing Lichtenstein hernia repair. Patients with ilioinguinal neurectomy had reduced incidence of inguinodynia.
