STRANGULATED HERNIA
Patients have symptoms of an incarcerated
hernia
Systemic toxicity secondary to ischemic bowel is
possible
Strangulation is probable if pain and tenderness
of an incarcerated hernia persist after reduction
Strangulated
hernia
are
differentiated
from
incarcerated hernia by the following
Pain out of proportion to examination findings
Fever or toxic appearance
Pain that persist after reduction of hernia
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
Lipoma
Orchitis
Lymph node
Abscess
Hematoma
Hydrocele
Cysts
Varicocele
GOALS OF HERNIA SURGERY
Provide long lasting secure closure of pelvic
floor defect
Reduce pain
Improve quality of life
(MC cause of chronic pain = use of mesh)
Classically the existence of an inguinal hernia has been
reason enough for operative intervention. However,
recent studies have shown that the presence of
reducible hernia is not, in itself. An indication of surgery
and the risk of incarceration is less than 1%
