CLASSIFICATION
Inguinal Hernia
NYHUS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Type I

INDIRECT HERNIA; internal abdominal ring normal; typically in infants, children, small adults
INDIRECT HERNIA; internal ring enlarged without impingement on the floor of the inguinal
Type II
canal; does not extend to the scrotum
DIRECT HERNIA; size is not taken into account
Type IIIA
INDIRECT HERNIA that has enlarged enough to encroach upon the posterior inguinal wall;
INDIRECT SLIDING OR SCROTAL HERNIAS are usually placed in this category because they are
Type IIIB commonly associated with EXTENSION TO THE DIRECT SPACE; also includes PANTALOON
HERNIAS
FEMORAL HERNIA
Type IIIC
RECURRENT HERNIA; modifiers A–D are sometimes added, which correspond TO INDIRECT,
Type IV
DIRECT, FEMORAL, AND MIXED, RESPECTIVELY
DIAGNOSIS

IMAGING
Inguinal Hernia
Ultrasound
CT Scan
MRI
MANAGEMENT
CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT
Aimed at alleviating symptoms such as
pain, pressure, and protrusion of abdominal
contents

Assuming a recumbent position
Truss, an elastic belt or brief
EMERGENT REPAIR
Incarcerated hernias
Strangulated hernias
Sliding hernias
INCARCERATED HERNIA
 Reasons for incarceration
 large amount of intestinal contents within the hernia sac
 dense and chronic adhesions of hernia contents to the sac
 small neck of the hernia defect in relation to the sac contents
INCARCERATED HERNIA
 An incarcerated inguinal hernia without the sequelae of
a bowel obstruction is not necessarily a surgical
emergency
INCARCERATED HERNIA
 Reduction should be attempted before definitive
surgical intervention.
INCARCERATED HERNIA
 Hernias that are not strangulated and do not reduce
with gentle pressure should undergo taxis.
TAXIS
 The patient is sedated and placed in a Trendelenburg position.
 The hernia sac is grasped with both hands, elongated, and then
milked back through the hernia defect.

 Pressure applied to the most distal portion of the sac will cause the
contents to mushroom and prevent reduction.
STRANGULATED HERNIA
 Femoral > Indirect > Direct
 Fever, leukocytosis, and hemodynamic instability.
 The hernia bulge usually is very tender, warm, and may exhibit
red discoloration.

 Taxis should not be applied to strangulated hernias as a
potentially gangrenous portion of bowel may be reduced into the
abdomen without being addressed
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES
Inguinal hernia
ANTERIOR REPAIR
NON PROSTHETIC
Inguinal hernia
OPEN APPROACH
OPEN APPROACH
BASSINI REPAIR
 Is frequently used for indirect inguinal
hernias and small direct hernias
 The conjoined tendon of the
transversus abdominis and the internal
oblique muscles is sutured to the
inguinal ligament
MCVAY REPAIR
 inguinal and femoral
canal defects
 The conjoined tendon is
sutured to Cooper’s
ligament from the pubic
cubicle laterally
SHOULDICE REPAIR
ANTERIOR REPAIR
PROSTHETIC
Inguinal hernia
LICHTENSTEIN TENSIONFREE REPAIR
LAPAROSCOPIC HERNIA
REPAIR
 Transabdominal Preperitoneal Procedure (TAPP)
 Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Repair

 Indications include bilateral inguinal hernia, recurring
hernia, need for early recovery
RECURRENCE
 Around 1% for Shouldice repair
 Most recurrences are of the same type as the original
hernia
 Recurrence Factors
 Patient
 Technical
 Tissue
RECURRENCE
 Patient factors

 malnutrition, immunosuppression, diabetes, steroid
use, and smoking.

 Technical factors

 mesh size, prosthesis fixation, and technical proficiency of
the surgeon.

 Tissue factors

 wound infection, tissue ischemia, and increased tension
within the surgical repair
COMPLICATIONS
 The overall risk of complications of inguinal hernia
repair is low.
 Common Complications
 Pain, injury to the spermatic cord and testes, wound
infection, seroma, hematoma, bladder injury, osteitis pubis,
and urinary retention
EVIDENCE-BASED CPG ON THE
MANAGEMENT OF ADULT INGUINAL
HERNIA
EVIDENCE-BASED CPG ON THE MANAGEMENT
OF ADULT INGUINAL HERNIA
PHILIPPINE JOURNAL OF SURGICAL SPECIALTIES
1. What is the recommended treatment for inguinal hernia?
 Mesh repair, Laparoscopic or the Open
2. If laparoscopic mesh repair is the preferred technique for inguinal hernias, what is
the recommended laparoscopic technique?

 Transabdominal Preperitoneal or Total Extra Preperitoneal
3. Is fixation of the mesh necessary in laparoscopic repair?
 No
4. If open mesh repair, what is the recommended technique
 Lichtenstein, plug and mesh or Prolene Hernia System
EVIDENCE-BASED CPG ON THE MANAGEMENT
OF ADULT INGUINAL HERNIA
PHILIPPINE JOURNAL OF SURGICAL SPECIALTIES
5. What is the recommended treatment for recurrent inguinal hernia?
 Mesh repair, either laparoscopic or open method
6. What is the recommended treatment for bilateral inguinal hernia?
 Mesh repair, either laparoscopic or open method

7. Is antimicrobial prophylaxis recommended for elective groin hernia surgery?
 Not routinely recommended using mesh

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. During the normal course of developmentthe testes descend from the intra-abdominal space into the scrotum in the third trimester. preceded by the gubernaculum and a diverticulum of peritoneum, which protrudes through the inguinal canal and ultimately becomes the processusvaginalis. Between 36 and 40 weeks, the processusvaginalis closes and eliminates the peritoneal opening at the internal inguinal ring.Failure of the peritoneum to close results in a patent processusvaginalis (PPV) and thus explains the high incidence of indirect inguinal hernias in preterm babiesThe difference in timing of testicular descent results in closure of the left processusvaginalis before the right. Consequently, right-sided hernias are more common than left-sided hernias, with approximately 10% of hernias presenting as bilateral.
  2. The inguinal canal is approximately 4 to 6 cm long and is situated in the anteroinferior portion of the pelvic basin Shaped like a cone, its base is at the superolateral margin of the basinwith its apex pointed inferomedially toward the symphysis pubis. The canal begins intra-abdominally on the deep aspect of the abdominal wall, where the spermatic cord passes through a hiatus in the transversalis fascia (in females, this is the round ligament). This hiatus is termed the deep or internal inguinal ring
  3. Anteriorly, the boundary of the canal is comprised of the external oblique aponeurosis and internal oblique muscle laterally. Posteriorly, fusion of the transversalis fascia and transversusabdominus muscle, one fourth of subjects are found to have only the transversalis fascia The superior boundary is an arch formed by the fibers of the internal oblique muscle. the inferior margin consists of the inguinal ligament
  4. Spermatic Cord contains the following
  5. A defect medial to the inferior epigastric vessels is considered direct, whereas a lateral defect is an indirect hernia
  6. Since laparoscopic procedures have been adapted as a treatment for inguinal hernias, surgeons have been required to reconceptualize the groin anatomy from the posterior perspective
  7. The arch of the internal oblique muscle and transversusabdominis muscle constitute the superior marginthe iliopsoas muscle the lateral marginthe lateral edge of rectus abdominis medially, and the pubic pecten medially. The iliopubic tract divides the orifice into a superior portion housing the spermatic cord and an inferior portion containing the iliac vessels.The posterior perspective has also resulted in the characterization of important areas to avoid, known as the triangle of doom, triangle of pain, and the circle of death
  8. The triangle of doom is bordered medially by the vas deferens laterally by the vessels of the spermatic cord, thereby pointing its apex superiorly. The contents of the space include the external iliac vessels, deep circumflex iliac vein, femoral nerve, and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve.
  9. The triangle of pain can be conceptualized as the space bordered by the iliopubic tract and gonadal vessels. The structures within this space include nerves such as the lateral femoral cutaneous, femoral branch of the genitofemoral, and femoral. The circle of death is a vascular continuation formed by the common iliac, internal iliac, obturator, aberrant obturator, inferior epigastric, and external iliac vessels. Basic knowledge of the boundaries of these triangles allows one to avert the dangers associated with injury to their contents.
  10. A defect medial to the inferior epigastric vessels is considered direct, whereas a lateral defect is an indirect hernia
  11. The definitive treatment of all hernias is surgical repair.A hernia defect will not decrease in size, but likely increase and possibly progress to incarceration or strangulation of the sac&apos;s contents. Surgery can be delayed or avoided in situations where the patient&apos;s medical status prohibits operative treatment. Conservative management is aimed at alleviating symptoms related to the inguinal hernia, such as pain, pressure, and protrusion of abdominal contents. Simple maneuvers include assuming a recumbent position, which aids in self-reduction of the hernia. 4A truss, an elastic belt or brief that aims to keep the hernia reduced, may also be worn; however, its use does not prevent hernia progression or incarceration. A truss may provide relief in up to 65% of patients; however, many will use it only intermittently as it does not provide continuous control of the hernia and may actually lead to an increased rate of hernia incarceration
  12. However, once the patient demonstrates bowel obstruction secondary to incarceration or a sliding inguinal hernia, operative intervention becomes expedited. Patients will often present with vomiting, constipation, obstipation, a distended abdomen, or combination thereof
  13. Before attempting taxis, the patient should be made aware of potential surgery in the case of failure of the maneuver.
  14. If the blood supply to incarcerated contents becomes compromised, an incarcerated hernia becomes a strangulated hernia. These pose a significant risk to life because the strangulated contents are ischemic and may quickly lose viability.Clinical signs that indicate strangulation include
  15. An oblique or horizontal incision is performed over the groin.A point two fingerbreadths inferior and medial to the anterior superior iliac spine is chosen as the most lateral point of the incisionIt is then progressed medially for approximately 6 to 8 cm
  16. The iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves are identified and retracted from the operative field by placing a hemostat beneath their course and then grasping one of the edges of the aponeurosisSome surgeons obtain preoperative consent to cut the ilioinguinal nerve to avoid possible entrapment and post operative pain however, the patient may experience numbness of inner thigh or lateral scrotum which usually goes away in 6 monthsWith the contents of the inguinal canal completely encircled, identification of cord contents and the hernia sac can be effectedDirect hernias will become evident as the floor of the inguinal canal is dissected. An indirect hernia sac will generally be found on the anterolateral surface of the spermatic cord. In addition to sac identification, the vas deferens and vessels of the spermatic cord must be identified to allow dissection of the sac from the cordOnce the reconstruction of the inguinal canal is complete, the cord contents are returned to their anatomic positionsmall enough to contain the contents of the inguinal canal and prevent a future false-positive diagnosis of recurrent herniaThe new external ring should be small enough to contain the contents of the inguinal canal and prevent a future false-positivenot be tight and should allow entrance of a finger
  17. The advantage of the McVay (Cooper&apos;s ligament) repair is the ability to address both inguinal and femoral canal defects
  18. The iliopubic tract is sutured to the medial flap, which is made up of the transversalis fascia and the internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscles. This is the second of the four suture lines. After the stump of the cremaster muscle is picked up, the suture is reversed back toward the pubic tubercle approximating the internal oblique and transversus muscles to the inguinal ligament. Two more suture lines will eventually be created suturing the internal oblique and transversus muscles medially to an artificially created &quot;pseudo&quot; inguinal ligament developed from superficial fibers of the inferior flap of the external oblique aponeurosis parallel to the true ligament.
  19. Common causes of hernia recurrence postrepair include patient, technical, and tissue factors. Patient factors that affect tissue healing include malnutrition, immunosuppression, diabetes, steroid use, and smoking. Technical factors include mesh size, prosthesis fixation, and technical proficiency of the surgeon. Tissue factors include wound infection, tissue ischemia, and increased tension within the surgical repair.
