Evaluation of Lichtenstein’s Tension-free Hernioplasty in Inguinal Hernia
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Hernia is a Greek word meaning offshoot, budding or bulge. A hernia is protrusion of a viscous or a part of viscous through abdominal opening in the wall of containing cavity. Hernia commonly develops in the area of weakness and groin is one of the natural weak areas in abdominal wall. Aims and Objectives: Since the hernia is a very common surgical problem and there are various methods of repair available. It will be the endeavor of this study to evaluate the results of one of the simple technique “Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty.” Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 patients admitted in the Postgraduate Department of Surgery in Government Medical College, Jammu, for inguinal hernia surgery during the period of January 2004-September 2005. Inclusion Criteria: All patients with groin hernia. Exclusion Hernia: Patient with serious cardiovascular or renal complications. Result and Conclusion: Open surgery for inguinal hernia repair is safe. The recurrence rate (hernias that require two or more repairs) is low when open hernia repair is done by experienced surgeons using mesh patches. Synthetic patches are now widely used for hernia repair in both open and laparoscopic surgery. The chance of a hernia coming back after open surgery ranges from 1 to 10 out of every 100 open surgeries done.
