3. INVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATIONS
ROUTINE
Haemoglobin
BT/CT
Total count,differential count,ESR
Urine – Albumin,sugar,deposits
Blood urea,blood sugar
Blood grouping/typing –for irreducible
hernia/huge hernia

4. INVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATIONS
ANAESTHETIC PURPOSE
X-ray chest
ECG all leads

5. INVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATIONS
USG ABDOMEN PELVIS
In old age – BPH , to calculate post voidal
urine (>100ml significant)
To find any mass

6. INVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATIONS
HERNIOGRAPHY
 Suspected hernia, but clinical diagnosis unclear
 Procedure done under flouroscopy following injection
of contrast medium
 Frontal and oblique radiographs are taken with and
without increased intra-abdominal pressure

7. HerniographyHerniography
Right direct inguinal hernia
Left indirect inguinal
hernia

9. Historical PerspectiveHistorical Perspective
15th
century -
Castration with
wound
cauterization or
hernial sac
debridement

10. Treating the precipitating factorsTreating the precipitating factors
FIRSTFIRST
Chronic bronchitis
Bronchial asthma
BPH  prostatectomy then hernia repair
Stricture urethra
Tuberculosis
Stop smoking

11. TRUSSTRUSS
Not curative
Hernia should be reducible
Contraindicated in case of irreducible
hernia,undesended testis,associated huge
hydrocele

14. SURGERIES FOR HERNIASURGERIES FOR HERNIA
HERNIOTOMY
HERNIORRHAPHY
HERNIOPLASTY

15. INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
HERNIOTOMY
Congenital hernia
Congenital hydrocoele (patent processus
vaginalis)
All paediatric age group & young adults

16. INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
HERNIORRHAPHY
Young adults with good muscle tone
Weak posterior wall
Dilated internal ring

17. INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
HERNIOPLASTY
Old age with poor muscle tone
Direct hernia
Huge indirect complete hernia

18. INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
KUNTZ PROCEDURE
Recurrent hernia
Old age

19. HERNIOTOMYHERNIOTOMY
Opening up the inguinal canal
Separation of sac from cord structures
Reducing the content
Transfixation and high ligation of sac
Excision of sac

23. HERNIORRHAPHYHERNIORRHAPHY
Herniotomy
Narrowing of the deep ring with 2’0
prolene (LYTLE’S REPAIR)
Approximation of conjoint tendon with
inguinal ligament

24. Types of herniorrhaphyTypes of herniorrhaphy

EDUARDO BASSINI

26. BASSINI’S REPAIR
Opening the fasciatransversalis from pubic
tubercle to deep ring
Approximation with interrupted stitches of
silk
Approximation of conjoint tendon & upper
leaf of fasciatransversalis with inguinal
ligament & lower leaf of
fasciatransversalis

27. MODIFIED BASSINI
Not done nowadays
Fasciatransversalis is not opened
Approximation with continuous
interlocking stitch with prolene
Approximation of conjoint tendon with
inguinal ligament

28. SHOULDICE TECHNIQUE
Additional strength is given to the
posterior wall by “DOUBLE BREASTING”
the fasciatransversalis
Best among all anatomical repairs
(Herniorrhaphy)
Least recurrence

29. HERNIOPLASTYHERNIOPLASTY
Herniotomy
Strenthening of the posterior wall of
inguinal canal with autologous tissue or
foreign material
We use PROLENE MESH to bridge the gap
between inguinal ligament and conjoint
tendon

30. Types of hernioplastyTypes of hernioplasty

31. LICHTENSTEIN’S TENSION FREE
HERNIOPLASTY
Prolene mesh 16 X 10 cm size is taken &
fixed in the inguinal ligament
First bite  periosteum of pubic tubercle
& fix the mesh to a point beyond the deep
ring
Fix the mesh with inguinal ligament &
conjoint tendon using 1’0 or 2’0 prolene
without tension

32. LICHTENSTEIN’S TENSION FREE
HERNIOPLASTY
Used in all types of inguinal hernia
Least recurrence rates

33. Prolene meshProlene mesh

34. Laparoscopic mesh repairLaparoscopic mesh repair
Inlay mesh – approach through the
abdomen , mesh kept preperitoneally
Onlay mesh – mesh kept in the inguinal
canal in front of deep ring

35. Laparoscopic mesh repairLaparoscopic mesh repair
TAPP – Trans Abdominal Preperitoneal
Procedure
TEP – Total Extraperitoneal Procedure

36. Complications of hernia surgeryComplications of hernia surgery
Intra operative
Immediate post operative
Late
Laparoscopic complications

37. Intra operativeIntra operative
Injury to blood vessles (inferior epigastric
& femoral)
Injury to bowel & bladder
Injury to ilioinguinal & iliohypogastric
nerves
Injury to cord structures

38. Immediate post operativeImmediate post operative
Urine retention
Hematoma
Infection
Periosteitis of pubic tubercle
Post herniorrhaphy hydrocele

39. Late complicationsLate complications
Recurrence
Testicular atrophy if testicular artery is
damaged
obstruction

40. Lap Hernia ComplicationsLap Hernia Complications
Vascular Injuries
Visceral Injuries
Trocar Site Complications
Bowel Obstructions
Hypercarbia syndrome
Abdomen Compartment Syndrome

41. PREVENTIONPREVENTION
You can't prevent the congenital defect
that may lead to an inguinal hernia, but
the following steps can help reduce strain
on your abdominal muscles and tissues
