How accurately can direct and indirect inguinal hernias be distinguished?
نویسندگان
چکیده
An inguinal hernia was clinically diagnosed as direct or indirect by paired surgeons of 134 occasions. When compared with the findings at operation the hernia was correctly diagnosed in 60 of 78 observations when it was indirect and in 33 of 56 when it was direct. The level of accuracy does not warrant continuing the practice of attempting to distinguish one type of inguinal hernia from another.

A rare case of Spigelian hernia combined with direct and indirect inguinal hernias.
Spigelian hernia is a rare type of ventral hernias with nonspecific symptoms and signs. Therefore, its diagnosis is often difficult and requires more clinical attention. Although intermittent abdominal swelling and pain are the main symptoms, Spigelian hernias can be sometimes asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally at the operation. In some cases, these hernias can be associated with othe...

Indirect inguinal hernia protrud...

Later indirect recurrences probably represented failure to repair the internal ring. Nine of the direct hernia...

Minimally invasive surgical technology is changing the management of spigelian hernias. In addition to open repairs, laparoscopic transabdominal repairs as well as laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repairs are well documented. However, because spigelian hernias are uncommon, few surgeons have a large volume of experience with spigelian hernia repairs. This is particularly true of the repair ...
