Purpose Chronic post-operative groin pain is a substantial complication following open mesh inguinal hernia repair. The exact cause of this pain is still unclear, but entrapment or trauma of the ilioinguinal nerve may have a role to play. Elective division of this nerve during hernia repair has been proposed in an attempt to reduce the incidence of chronic groin pain. Methods We performed a meta-analysis...
Purpose Patients with liver cirrhosis may require inguinal hernia repair. It is unknown if surgical approach, laparoscopic or open, affects outcomes in this high-risk patient population. This study compares complications, deaths, and length of stay between open and laparoscopic inguinal hernias in patients with liver disease. Methods All patients (N = 145,780) who were diagnosed with inguinal hernia...
Purpose Elective inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is one of the most commonly performed operations in the UK. As with all procedures, informed consent is essential. Pre-made consent forms have been suggested to improve consenting practice. This study aimed to assess the usage and quality of pre-made hernia-specific consent forms (PCF) in the UK. Methods A freedom of information request was sent to all...
Background Chronic post-operative inguinal pain (CPIP) is the most significant complication following inguinal hernia repair. Patients without a palpable hernia prior to surgery seemed to report more CPIP. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of surgery on patients with a clinically inapparent inguinal hernia as diagnosed using ultrasonography. Methods A total of 179 hernia repairs in patients with...
Background The Lichtenstein technique is used worldwide because of its rapid learning curve, good results and low recurrence rates. In this approach, a lateral tie-shaped incision is made on the mesh, involving the spermatic funiculus and thus correcting the deep inguinal ring defect by narrowing it. The lateral tie, however, does not prevent the wrinkling of the upper portion of the mesh that is...
Background There has been confusion in the anatomical recognition when performing inguinal hernia operations in Japan. From now on, a paradigm shift from the concept of two-dimensional layer structure to the three-dimensional space recognition is necessary to promote an understanding of anatomy. Anatomy and Embryology Along with the formation of the abdominal wall, the extraperitoneal space is formed...
