A study on management and complications of inguinal hernia
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Several risk factors have been implicated in the development of inguinal hernias, including obesity, chronic cough, prostatic enlargement, advancing age and smoking. Coughing and severe straining as occurs with constipation (or) prostatism frequently precipitates the clinical appearance of the hernia. All cases of inguinal hernia with one of its complications attending all the surgical units of Medical College and Hospital were taken up for study. Those patients who were admitted to have an irreducible hernia initially but become reducible spontaneously without any intervention were excluded from the study. Wound infection is the most common among the all post operative complications in the present study. No post operative complications and the recovery was uneventful was seen in 28 (66.67%) cases.
