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.
