Risks Assessment

Hernia can be defined as an organ disorder which protrudes the wall that contains it. Synthetic material for the repair of the abdominal wall are used frequently with good results and less complications. Our research included a number of 135 patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia hospitalized and operated in Clinical County Hospital of Craiova, between 1st January 2017-31 October 2017. The purpose of our work was to identify and analyze comorbidities and complications for inguinal hernia repaired with synthetic prosthetic material. hernia repair was performed in 135 patients, 16 were women and 119 were men. Tension free meshplasty was accomplished in 131 patients with uncomplicated inguinal hernia and herniorrhaphy was successfully performed at 4 patients with complicated inguinal hernia. From our study 107 patients had a remarkable recovery without any complication. Patients who underwent tension-free hernia surgery using prosthetic mesh,short-term complications were represented by 19 patients with urinary retention, 6 surgical local infection (superficial infections) and 2 scrotal edema. Nowadays surgeons try to find the best elective repair of inguinal hernia,to be safety for the patients despite of their age and with few complications and low mortality rate. Risks assessment include general conditions and associated comorbidities of the patients. In our study we reveal the type of comorbidities which we meet. We considered that it is significant to optimize cardiopulmonary status and the other comorbidities of the patient before to repair abdominal wall hernia in order to avoid both short and long term complication.

The aim of the work. To analyze the world achievements in modern diagnostic and treatment tactics in patients with strangulated ventral hernias, as well as to outline promising and pragmatic directions for further research. The literature review presents current trends and views on the choice of individual components of the integrated diagnostic approach in patients with strangulated ventral hernias, and focuses on various principles of therapeutic tactics. The need to further improve the examination methods of abdominal organs, anterior abdominal wall, hernia contents (polypositional roentgenoscopy or roentgenography, ultrasound, CT, MRI) is emphasized and prospects of allohernioplasty and videolaparoscopic technologies with an integrated approach in choosing the method for correction or reconstruction of abdominal wall depending on the prognostic risk factors of postoperative complications are substantiated. Comparison of individual priorities of planned hernia surgery provided the opportunity to define the main directions in terms of urgent medical treatment features for patients with strangulated ventral hernias, taking into account a phasal nature of the pathological process and the availability and applicability of various synthetic implants. The literature analysis allowed for enough critical evaluation of the current state of tension-free allohernioplasty – the main fundamental principle of modern urgent surgery for ventral hernias and determining the main pragmatic directions of a selective approach in choosing the therapeutic tactics for patients with infected surgical wound. Conclusions. Urgent surgery of strangulated ventral hernias requires adequate and timely provision of individual and differentiated approaches in choosing the volume and method of surgery. Improvement of methods for predicting and preventing complications in patients with strangulated ventral hernias will expand the indications for the use of advanced types of tension-free hernioplasty.

Hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a pathologic defect in its surrounding wall. Overall, hernia is common and is generally believed to be a benign condition associated with some morbidity, although it is not thought to be associated with significant mortality. Between 2001 and 2010, 2.3 million inpatient abdominal hernia repairs were performed in the United States, of which 567,000 were performed emergently. In some cases, a hernia can be a deadly condition. In 2002, hernia was listed as the cause of death for 1,595 US citizens. This review covers the pathophysiology, stabilization and assessment, diagnosis and treatment, and disposition and outcomes of hernia. Figures show anatomic locations of the various abdominal wall, groin, lumbar, and pelvic floor hernias; a direct inguinal hernia; an indirect inguinal hernia; point-of-care sonograms showing a ventral wall hernia and an abdominal wall hernia; and the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass based on anatomic location. Tables list risk factors for the development of inguinal hernia, sex-based differences in inguinal hernia development, risk factors for the development of incisional hernia, factors to consider when assessing the patient for a hernia, and factors associated with the highest rates of incarceration in patients with groin hernia. Key words: emergent hernia, hernia incarceration, incisional hernia, inguinal hernia, strangulated hernia This review contains 6 highly rendered figures, 5 tables, and 66 references.

The first case of external supravesical hernia was made in 1804; but it is so rare that it is very difficult to find any case reported in Bangladesh. Here a case of external supravesical hernia is described in a male who was presented with a left sided direct incomplete reducible inguinal hernia. This report aims to review and discuss the surgical anatomy of these rare supravesical hernias and calls attention to the confusing presentation and treatment of this conditionJ Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2015; 7(1):40-41

Peritoneal Scintigraphy

Two patients who developed massive genital edema while on CAPD were investigated by peritoneal scintigraphy with Tc99m-glucoheptonate. In one the genital swelling was due to an umbilical hernia and in the other it was due to an abdominal-wall hernia. After the hernia was repaired CAPD could be continued. We recommend peritoneal scintigraphy as a technique for the investigaiton of leakage of peritoneal fluid in patients undergoing CAPD. Recently genital swelling has been described as a complication of CAPD (I, 2). In one patient an isotope technique demonstrated an open processus vaginalis (1), and in four patients (2) scrotal or labial edema was due to an inguinal hernia. This communication describes two patients with genital edema which was due to an umbilical hernia in one, and to an abdominal wall hernia in the other.

Seroma Is a collection of fluid called serum that gets collected at the site of inguinal hernia surgery. It is common after inguinal hernia repair with a mesh. Usually seroma develops after 7 to 10 day of operation but can develop even earlier depending upon the amount of tissue dissection. More the dissection more the chances of development of seroma. The fluid in seroma is usually clear or straw colored. Seroma generally does not require any treatment; it disappears by absorption by body tissues within few weeks. Large seromas may require repeated aspiration. To avoid developing seroma after inguinal hernia surgery is to do minimal tissue dissection and avoid dead space formation. We operated 400 cases of inguinal hernia by a modified Lichtenstein tension-free procedure called NICH (Nigam’s inverted curtain hernioplasty) our incidence of development of seroma was 1.5% against international incidence of 7% which is a real low incidence. We have discussed the ways to avoid formation of seroma after open inguinal hernioplasty. Keywords: dead space, dissection, inguinal hernia, Lichtenstein, mesh, NICH, seroma.
