Internal Hernia: An Uncommon and Often-Missed Differential Diagnosis of Abdominal Pain
Internal hernias are the protrusion of abdominal viscera, most commonly small bowel loops, through a peritoneal or mesenteric opening into a compartment in the abdominal or pelvic cavity
Open versus laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repair: A propensity-matched outcome analysis
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures in the world. Each repair technique, open, laparoscopic, and robotic, has its advantages and advocates. Prior studies have compared 2 techniques, but there are little data comparing all 3 approaches with long-term follow-up.
A Novel Technique for Inguinal Hernia Repair in Patients With Nonmalignant Ascites
We report a novel approach to open inguinal hernia repair in patients with known ascites in which the cord, hernia sac, and attached testicle on the affected side are repositioned into the retroperitoneum through the inguinal ring. By avoiding invasion of the peritoneum and limiting dissection of the sac off the spermatic cord, the risk of ascites leak and testicular ischemia is theoretically decreased.
Hernia Repair Surgery
Learn about a minimally invasive option for hernia surgery. Common hernia procedures include ventral (abdominal) and inguinal (groin) hernia repair.
How to Prevent Hernia Formation and Recurrence
While it’s not always possible to prevent a hernia, various lifestyle modifications and mobility techniques can reduce the risk of one developing.
