Practice of Diagnosing Indirect and Direct Inguinal Hernia: Should it be Abondoned
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: An inguinal hernia was clinically diagnosed as indirect 80 out of 150 [53.33%] or direct 70 out of 150 [46.66%] by couple of surgeons in 150 cases. When compared with the findings at operation the hernia was correctly diagnosed in 69 out of 80 [86.25%] observations when it was indirect and in 48 out of 70 [68.57%] when it was direct. This level of correctness does not advocate continuing the practice of attempting to distinguish one type of inguinal hernia from another. Keywords: inguinal hernia, observation, operation
