Filter by:The Lichtenstein technique for hernia repair is safe and simple, but the underlying mesh prosthesis has its setbacks, as it acts as a mechanical barrier5. The mesh does not provide mobile and the physiologically dynamic posterior wall. The most dangerous complication associated with the mesh prosthesis is its migration from the abdominal cavity's primary implantation site. The relatively knew technique developed by Dr. Desarda does not utilize the synthetic mesh rather it uses a strip of external oblique aponeurosis to strengthen the posterior wall. Our study has compared the two methods regarding various aspects.
The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after Lichtenstein repair of groin hernia, depending on mesh type and fixation suture material. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).

Inguinal hernias are a common surgical problem. Best management of occult inguinal hernias, defined as hernias unable to be felt on physical exam, is unknown. From prior studies we know that most inguinal hernias will eventually become symptomatic and require surgery (70%). However, doing a repair on a very small, occult hernia may open the patient up to surgical complications, like chronic pain, earlier than necessary. This will be a multi-center randomized controlled trial of surgical repair versus expectant management of occult inguinal hernias. Patients undergoing laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair will be included. At the time of surgery, the surgeon will determine if there is an occult hernia contralateral side. If present, patients will be randomized to repair of the occult side or expectant management of the occult side. After 1 year post-operative data has been assessed, a decision tool will be created and administered to patients to aid in their decision making about treatments for their hernia.
To analyze and validate a preoperative score of difficulty of inguinal hernias and its correlation with postoperative outcomes
compare between Quadratus lumborum block and unilateral intrathecal block for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair regarding the quality of anesthesia and hemodynamic stability of patients.
A hernia occurs when an organ 'like intestines' or fatty tissue protrude through a weak point in muscle or connective tissue and one of the most common types of hernia is inguinal. Inguinal hernia defined as a bulge in the inguinal region or scrotum, may be accompanied by dull or burning pain, which worsens by exercise or cough. There are 2 types of inguinal hernia: direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernia occurs because of a defect or weakness in the transversalis fascia area of the Hesselbach triangle. On the other hand, the indirect inguinal hernia which is the most common inguinal hernia follows the tract of inguinal canal and result from a persistent processus vaginalis. Immediate pain after inguinal herniorrhaphy delays the ambulation which leads to delay in the hospital discharge. Besides that, is the chronic pain that affect 50% of patients which is an important issue that needs to be dealt with. Our aim of this study, is to compare between postoperative period in the patients who received US guided nerve block and in patients who received infiltration only before open inguinal hernia repair, and to show that pre-emptive local anaesthesia will result in better pain control, less postoperative complication, earlier mobilisation, earlier recovery and less analgesia consumption by patients.
It is known that strangulation or necrosis of the intestine within the hernia sac of inguinal hernia increases mortality and morbidity in patients. However, the risks of incarceration in hernias have not been fully revealed.To better understand the factors associated with incarceration in inguinal hernia, the investigators will examine patients who will apply to our clinic for inguinal hernia and undergo elective and emergency inguinal hernia surgery.
This study is designed to evaluate the post-operative complications and hernia recurrence following the use of OviTex in subjects with ventral or inguinal hernias. Up to 160 subjects will participate in the study from up to 20 investigator sites.
