Inguinal hernias are one of the differential diagnoses of inguinal masses in infants in both males and females. In females, an irreducible ovarian inguinal hernia tends to undergo torsion and sometimes infarction. Sonography should be used as the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation and characterization. We present a case of 19 days old female infant presented with right groin mass, diagnosed as right inguinal hernia containing right ovary on ultrasonography.

Inguinal Hernias

Inguinal hernias in girls are often irreducible when they contain ovaries. Rarely the hernial sacs may have unusual contents like vermiform appendix, uterus and urinary bladder. We report a case of a female infant who presented with bilateral irreducible inguinal hernias presumed to be due to ovaries. However at exploration, the hernial sacs contained bilaterally an omental mass with calcifications. Presence of mucin with meconium- laden macrophages in the mass on histology suggested an antenatal intestinal perforation. To the best of our knowledge no such case has been reported in a female neonate. We present this rare case and discuss the unusual findings and the outcome.

Multiple researchers have given numerous guidelines in the clinical management of this disorder in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, after comprehensive works on the subject. As a result, a very wide variety of surgical procedures are now available to the surgeon to suit the requirement. There have been numerous advances in the management of inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernias can conveniently be repaired under all kinds of anaesthesia, namely general, spinal and local. Whereas the general anaesthesia requires the services of an experienced anaesthetist and new devices and spinal anaesthesia requires postoperative impairment while local anaesthesia is safe to prescribe, easy and efficient and does not cause postoperative complications. This work consisted of a study group of twenty-five adult patients of uncomplicated inguinal hernias, who after repair of hernias, which after repair of hernias were allowed early ambulation and had a short hospital, stay of one day post operatively. The second control group consisted of similar twenty-five patients who are subjected to conventional delayed ambulation and prolonged hospital stay. The results of repair in the two groups were compared; the available literature on the subject was reviewed. The implementation of ”shortstay surgery” not only relieves the waiting list in hospitals but also offers an economic boost and provides the patient with some social advantages.

Being, according to the latest views, one of the manifestations of the general ptotic constitution, prolapse of the uterus, which, according to Halban and Tandler, is also a kind of hernia, of course, can occur in combination with other abdominal hernias. In 285 patients I operated on for prolapse of the uterus, I met a similar combination in 12 cases, and in 4 of them there were umbilical hernias, in 1 - a hernia of a straight line of the abdomen and in 7 - inguinal hernias, among which 3 required plastic surgery.

Purpose – to analyze condition of patients after surgical treatment of inguinal hernias by laparoscopic and open methods. Materials and methods. A retrospective review of medical histories and outpatient charts of all patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery at the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1 from January 2018 to July 2020 was conducted. Results. During the above period of time in our hospital open hernioplasty was performed in 86 patients, laparoscopic hernioplasty – 138 patients. With open hernioplasty, the average duration of surgical treatment was 40±12 minutes. The laparoscopic technique was 35±12 minutes. The length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the group of patients with the open method (48±12 hours) than in the group of laparoscopic plastic surgery (12±3 hours). From the group of patients who underwent open hernioplasty, 62 patients complained of long-term pain syndrome, from the group of laparoscopy – 12 patients. The cosmetic appearance was dissatisfied with 34 patients in the open access group and only 2 patients in the laparoscopic plastic group. Postoperative complications were observed in 34 patients who underwent surgical treatment through open access, and in 15 patients – by laparoscopy. Conclusions. The laparoscopic approach of inguinal hernia surgery is superior to open access, as it reduces the length of hospital stay, postoperative recovery, improves the aesthetic effect of the operation, reduces the frequency of infection of incisions. According to the results of the study, this technique gives a better result in the early postoperative period, a lower percentage of chronic pain and a higher degree of patient satisfaction compared to open access with the same low recurrence rate. Therefore, in our opinion, laparoscopic access to hernioplasty is the optimal method of treatment and can be recommended as a method of choosing inguinal hernia surgery. Postoperative assessment of the quality of life of patients after treatment of inguinal hernia by laparoscopic and open methods. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committee of all participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: inguinal hernia, laparoscopy, open access surgery, analysis of methods, operation.

Objective. This is a prospective study of 50 cases of inguinal hernias which were treated through open inguinal hernia repair techniques. The study was conducted with the objective of comparing the effectiveness of these procedures and complications. Materials and Methods. A number of 50 cases of inguinal hernias admitted to Dr. BR Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All the patients with direct and indirect uncomplicated hernias treated by means of an open approach were included. After the preoperative preparation, they were randomly chosen either for Desarda’s or Modified Bassini’s repair techniques. Results. In the postoperative period, moderate pain was experienced by 19 patients included in the Desarda group and 17 patients included in the Modified Bassini’s repair group on day 1. The postoperative wound infection developed in 2 cases of Desarda and 3 cases of Modified Bassini’s, erythema was observed in 2 cases of Desarda and 3 cases of Modified Bassini’s, 3 cases reported the occurrence of seroma in the Desarda group and 4 cases of seroma were recorded in the Modified Bassini’s group. Conclusions. The patients who underwent Desarda repair complained of a higher intensity of pain, which could probably be attributed to the extensive dissection involved. The duration of Desarda repair was longer due to the learning curve of the surgeons in our hospital. The return to normal gait and normal activities was significantly lower in the Desarda group. The duration of hospital stays and the postoperative complications was not significantly different in the two groups. There were no recurrences in either of the groups until the current study.

Femoral hernias are a relatively uncommon type, accounting for only 3% of all hernias. While femoral hernias can occur in both males and females, they occur approximately 10 times as frequently in women than in men because of the wider bone structure of the female pelvis³. Femoral hernias develop in the upper part of the thigh near the groin just below the inguinal ligament, where abdominal contents pass through a naturally occurring weakness called the femoral canal. Femoral hernia have the highest rate of incarceration amongst groin hernia, 5%–20%⁵

Laparoscopic Techniques

Giant inguinal hernias are typically described as those which reach patient’s mid-thigh level in upright position. These present a challenge to the surgeon as surgical repair is technically challenging. Although conventionally open repairs have been done for giant inguinal hernias more recently laparoscopic techniques are being adopted. Total extra peritoneal (TEP) and trans abdominal pre peritoneal (TAPP) are two common laparoscopic approaches used. Here we present a case of a 64-year-old patient with a long standing giant inguinal hernia. Hernia was repaired with a TEP approach and patient’s recovery was satisfactory.

Abstract Background Contralateral clinically occult hernias are frequently noted at the time of laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair. There is no consensus on the role of contralateral exploration and repair. This systematic review assessed the safety and efficacy of operative repair of occult contralateral inguinal hernias found during unilateral repair. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to February 2020. Adults diagnosed with a unilateral inguinal hernia undergoing laparoscopic repair were included. The primary outcome was the incidence of occult contralateral hernias. Summative outcomes of operative and expectant management were reported along with development of a Markov decision process. Results Thirteen studies (1 randomized trial, 12 observational cohorts) with 5000 patients were included. The incidence of occult contralateral inguinal hernias was 14.6 (range 7.3–50.1) per cent. Among patients who underwent repair, 10.5 (4.3–17.0) per cent experienced a postoperative complication. Of patients managed expectantly, 29 per cent later required elective repair for symptoms. Mean follow-up was 36 (range 2–218) months. Using a Markov decision process, it was calculated that, for every 1000 patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair, contralateral exploration would identify 150 patients with an occult hernia. Repair would result in 15 patients developing a postoperative complication and 105 undergoing unnecessary repair. Alternatively, expectant management would result in 45 patients requiring subsequent repair. Conclusion Contralateral repair is not warranted in patients with occult hernias diagnosed at the time of elective hernia repair. The evidence is largely based on observational studies at high risk of bias.
