Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for inguinal hernia and there are many types of surgical techniques.
Indications
- Surgery is the first-line treatment option for patients with inguinal hernia. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:[1]
- Large bulges through a small hole
- Painful hernia
- High risk for complication such as strangulation, incarceration
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for inguinal hernia. There are 3 general types for inguinal hernia repair:[2][3]
- Herniotomy (removal of the hernial sac only)
- Herniorrhaphy (herniotomy plus repair of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal)
- Hernioplasty (herniotomy plus reinforcement of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal with a synthetic mesh)
- Classification of current repair techniques for inguinal hernias include:[4][5][6][7]
- Tension-free prosthetic repairs
- Anterior repairs
- lichenstein repair and its modification
- Plug repairs
- Patch and plug repairs
- Double-layer devices
- Posterior (prepritoneal) repairs
- Open techniques via inguinal incision
- Stoppa repair
- Laparoscopic/endoscopic repairs
- Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair
- Total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair
- Intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair
- Anterior repairs
- Tissue-suture repairs
- Bassini-Shouldice technique and its modifications
- Marcy repair
- Tension-free prosthetic repairs
