If laparoscopic technique can be used for treatment of acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernia?

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

The safest and most effective inguinal hernia repair (laparoscopic versus open mesh) is being debated. As the authors point out, the former accounts for the minority of hernia repairs performed in the United States and around the world. The reasons for this are a demonstration in the literature of increased operative times, increased costs, and a longer learning curve. But the laparoscopic appr...

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

The pre-operative assessment of the patient, and the precautions against infection and DVT are identical to the open “mesh” procedure. The surgery requires the development of a preperitoneal space behind the abdominal muscles using a balloon dissector in the first instance and a subsequent structural balloon to maintain the space, together with insufflation with Carbon dioxide to facilitate vis...

The Shouldice technique for the treatment of inguinal hernia

The Shouldice repair has been refined over several decades and is the gold standard for the prosthesisfree treatment of inguinal hernias. A recurrence rate around 1% has been consistently demonstrated over the years. The objective of this paper is to outline and highlight the key principles, including the dedicated pre-operative preparation, the use of local anesthesia, a complete inguinal diss...
