Concepts that Prevent Inguinal Hernia Formation – Revisited New Concepts of Inguinal Hernia Prevention

The author was not satisfied with the present concept about the strength of the transversalis fascia that is said to prevent inguinal hernia formation in the normal individuals. Therefore, this study was conducted to see the anatomical status of transversalis fascia and presence or absence of aponeurotic extensions in the posterior wall of the inguinal canals as were described by some stalwarts...

Minilaparoscopy For Inguinal Hernia Repair

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inguinal hernia repair is among the most common procedures performed worldwide and the laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach is a recognized and effective surgical technique. Although technically advantageous because of the option of no mesh fixation and no need for creation of a peritoneal flap resulting, in less postoperative pain and faster recovery, T...

Inguinal Bladder Hernia in Female Patient

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...

Inguinal Hernia in Infancy

Two opposing views are held regarding the nature of congenital inguinal hernia, one championed by Hamilton Russel and the other by Sir Arthur Keith. Russell believes that the presence of a developmental pocket of peritoneum is all that is required to produce a hernia. But in mammals, other than man, the cavity of the processus vaginalis remains patent throughout life, and in them congenital ing...
