| | Inguinal hernia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A workable technique of repairing hernias was first described by Bassini in the 1800s; the Bassini technique was a "tension" repair, in which the edges of the defect are sewn back together without any reinforcement or prosthesis. | | | Surgical correction of inguinal hernias, called a herniorraphy or hernioplasty, is now often performed as an ambulatory, or "day surgery," procedure. | | | As the hernia progresses, contents of the abdominal cavity, such as the intestine, can descend into the hernia and run the risk of being strangulated within the hernia, causing an intestinal obstruction. |

| | Inguinal Hernia- Health Encyclopedia and Reference |
| | Hernias that are painful and can't be pushed back (incarcenated or strangulated hernia) are treated surgically. | | | There are two surgically procedures available for the treatment of inguinal hernias - open surgery or laparoscopy. | | | In a strangulated hernia the protrusion becomes twisted or swollen and interferes with the normal blood flow and muscle action. |

| | Differentiation between a direct and an indirect inguinal hernia is difficult and clinically unimportant as the operative approach is unchanged by the distinction. | | | The hernia repair used should be determined by the type of hernia, the particular patient and the skill of the surgeon. | | | The inguinal hernia, despite its frequency in clinical medicine, continues to present challenging problems for the physician and surgeon. |

| | You have groin pain, swelling, or a bulge. | | | The hernia (bulge) may not be obvious in infants and children, except when the child is crying or coughing. | | | Almost all hernias require surgery, preferably before complications occur, to reposition the herniated loop of intestine and secure the weakened muscles in the abdomen. |

| | Hernias in this area have a high rate of recurrence if repaired via a simple suture technique under tension and it is especially advised that these be repaired via a TENSION FREE repair method using mesh These hernias may develop soon after the original surgery, or at any time thereafter. | | | Surgery is not indicated for this condition and we disuade ill-advised attempts at surgical correction. | | | Often, a Femoral Hernia can occur simultaneously with an Inguinal Hernia, and be overlooked at surgery using 'conventional' repair techniques. |

| | Instead, many inguinal hernias now can be successfully repaired with a technique that uses several small incisions, leading to a faster, less painful recovery. | | | Other hernias develop later in life when muscles weaken or deteriorate due to factors such as aging, strenuous physical activity or coughing that accompanies smoking. | | | For that reason, your doctor is likely to recommend surgical repair of a hernia that's painful or growing larger. |

| | A hernia usually pops up without warning and is noticed at bath or diaper change time, often when the child is crying. | | | The low (11.7%) eventual incidence of subsequent hernia on the other side contrasted with the fairly significant risk of damage to reproductive structures on the side of exploration is high enough to lead the researchers to recommend: leave the apparently normal side alone. | | | Most commonly, a hernia is a swelling that you or your doctor discover in your child's inguinal ("groin") area. |
