Patients9
- INTRODUCTION-We have devised a technique by which we can detect inapparent contralateral hernia(s) laparoscopically in patients undergoing open inguinal hernia repair without general anesthesia, and we evaluated the usefulness of the technique by reviewing cases in which the laparoscopic technique has been applied. (sages.org)
- METHODS AND PROCEDURES-Between January 2007 and December 2014, we repaired 688 inguinal hernias in 571 patients. (sages.org)
- We used a laparoscope intraoperatively in these patients to find inapparent contralateral hernias. (sages.org)
- Inapparent contralateral hernias were found by this method in 2 of 6 patients, and were repaired at the same time additionally. (sages.org)
- Recovery from hernia repair is usually very quick, and patients who undergo laparoscopic procedures usually get back to normal day-to-day activities in a very short space of time. (nuffieldhealth.com)
- Of these patients, 10,887 had been operated on because of a unilateral (71.7 %) and 4289 because of a bilateral (28.3 %) inguinal hernia. (springer.com)
- If a bilateral hernia repair should be attempted in those patients with only a unilateral hernia, these data give the surgeon more information on how to better prepare a patient and obtain consent preoperatively. (springer.com)
- Inguinal hernias typically should be repaired electively because of the risk of strangulation, which results in higher morbidity (and possible mortality in older patients). (msdmanuals.com)
