Warm up Indirect inguinal hernias are caused by weakness of the transversalis
inguinal hernias are often more bilateral than indirect

retroperitoneal structure slides down posterior abdo wall & herniates into inguinal canal taking along overlying peritoneum with it

hernias.
Hernia contents become constricted by the narrow deep ring or they twist.
Venous return obstructed, swelling appears, arterial obstruction & infarction soon follows.
Associated with Sx & Sx of bowel obstruction & peritonitis

Open Inguinal Repair

Anaesthesia – general, spinal, local
Position - supine
Incision – 2cm above

Open Inguinal Repair Anaesthesia – general, spinal, local Position - supine Incision
& parallel to medial ½ of inguinal ligament
Procedure
Wound is deepened to external oblique aponeurosis & the inguinal ligament is exposed.
Inguinal canal is entered 1 cm above the ligament by dividing the aponeurosis along its length. Identify & protect the ilioinguinal nerve
Spermatic cord is mobilized off the inguinal ligament & posterior wall. If it is a direct hernia, it is reduced & held in position with an absorbable suture.
If indirect hernia, the spermatic fascia & cremaster is divided longitudinally to enter the cord

Open Inguinal Repair

Procedure cont’
Indirect sac will be identified by separating the cord

Open Inguinal Repair Procedure cont’ Indirect sac will be identified by separating
structures. The sac then dissected from the cord to the level of the internal ring.
The indirect sac is opened & any contents reduced back into the abdomen.
The neck of the sac is transfixed & the sac excised.
A piece of synthetic (e.g. polypropylene) mesh is trimmed to size & sutured without tension from the pubic tubercle along the inguinal ligament below, to the internal oblique aponeurosis above, using non-absorbable sutures. The lateral limit of the mesh encircles the cord at the internal ring
Closure – in layers
Post op complications – recurrence, haematoma, infection, ilioinguinal neuropathy

Laparoscopic

Incision & Approach
A 2 cm transverse incision is

made lateral to the lower part of the umbilicus on hernia side. The anterior rectus sheath is opened transversely & rectus muscle retracted laterally. Pass a finger to sweep open the space behind rectus
This space & the retropubic space may be further opened by inflating a balloon
A 10 mm blunt port, with an air-tight seal, is inserted into the wound & the space is inflated with CO2 at 15 mmHg. Laparoscope with camera is inserted through this port.
Under direct vision two further ports, a 10 mm and a 5mm, are inserted in the midline into the new preperitoneal space for instumentation.

Laparoscopic

Procedure
The peritoneum is separated from the abdominal wall behind the inguinal area,

Laparoscopic Procedure The peritoneum is separated from the abdominal wall behind the
laterally to the ASIS & medially across the midline.
The inferior epigastric vessels identified & left attached to back of abdominal wall. A direct sac lies medial to these vessels & is withdrawn into abdomen.
To find indirect sac, the cord is 1st identified lateral to these vessels. When the outer layer of the cord is separated, the sac will be seen & withdrawn into the abdomen separating it from the vas & testicular vessels
A 15 cm x 10 cm mesh is placed over the inguinal area running from lateral to & covering deep inguinal ring, & extending across the midline. Metal tacks can be placed medially to hold it in place
When the position of the mesh is satisfactory gas is vented & the peritoneum obliterates the preperitoneal space & secures mesh position.
Closure - The ports are withdrawn & skin closed.
Post op Complications - recurrence
