BACKGROUND The inguinal hernia is one of the most frequent surgical diseases, being frequent procedure and surgeon´s everyday practice. AIM To present technical details in making hernioplasty using robotic equipment on bilateral inguinal hernia repair with single port and preliminary results with the method. METHOD The bilateral inguinal hernia repair was performed by using the Single-Site(...

Background: Current inguinal hernia operations are generally based on anatomical considerations. Failures of such operations are due to lack of consideration of physiological aspects. Many patients with inguinal hernia are cured as a result of current techniques of operation, though factors that are said to prevent hernia formation are not restored. Therefore, the surgical physiology of inguina...

  Purpose: Mesh technique is the standard for inguinal hernia repair because of less recurrence,   but it is inferior or equal to sutured technique in case of other post-operative complications   such as chronic pain. This clinical trial set out to compare these two techniques.   Materials and Methods: A total number of 322 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia in participants   older than 18 yea...

INTRODUCTION The inguinal hernia repair has been a controversial area in the surgical practice ever since it has been conceived. The fact that numerous different procedures are in use reflects the complexity of inguinal hernia and its repair. AIM The purposes of this study were to describe Dulucq's technique and the modifications of using 3-D mesh in laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal ingui...

A 63 year old female underwent an uncomplicated total extraperitoneal repair of a right direct inguinal hernia. One week later she presented with a strangulated left femoral hernia. We believe the dissection of the extraperitoneal space caused bleeding which tracked down through the femoral canal resulting in a femoral hernia. To date there are no reports of such a complication following total ...

Introduction. Several laparoscopic treatment techniques were designed for improving the outcome over the last decade. The various techniques differ in their approach to the inguinal internal ring, suturing and knotting techniques, number of ports used in the procedures, and mode of dissection of the hernia sac. Patients and Surgical Technique. 90 children were subjected to surgery and they unde...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the recurrence and complication rates of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair performed in a private practice in Cape Town. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS An unselected cohort of 507 patients who underwent laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair before September 2005 were included in this study, thus ensuring a minimum 5-year foll...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes between laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair and prolene hernia system (PHS) repair for inguinal hernia. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 237 patients scheduled for laparoscopic TEP or PHS repair of groin hernia from 2005 to 2009 was performed. RESULTS The mean age was 52.3 years in TEP group and 55.7 years in PHS group. Of 119 TEP cases, 98 wer...

PURPOSE: To investigate the pattern of occurrence of inguinal neuritis in recurrent inguinal hernia. We hypothesize that neuritis will occur in more nerves with a wider distribution than in primary repair. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of thirty consecutive recurrent inguinal hernia repairs concentrating on the occurrence of inguinal neuritis. These are not chronic pain patients. Nerves s...
