Extractions: Case Studies Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Ms. J. S., a 78-year-old woman, was referred to UAMS Medical Center with a tennis ball sized bulge in the left upper quadrant. She had previously undergone an open splenectomy for B cell lymphoma. On physical exam, she had a 7cm fascial defect which extended to the costal margin. She also had a recent abdominal CT scan that confirmed the ventral hernia. She underwent a laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, which was performed using a rectangular shaped piece of GoreTex® Dualmesh. She spent one night in the hospital and was back to her normal activities within a week. Mr. J.T., a 27-year-old male, presented with a bulge in his left groin, which he noticed after lifting several heavy boxes. He is an active athlete who enjoys long distance cycling. He also has a demanding career as a full-time student working toward an advanced degree. When he noticed the hernia in his left groin, he did a great deal of research to find an operative approach that would allow him the earliest return to his normal activities. He had spoken with other surgeons about the standard open repair, and then inquired about laparoscopy at UAMS. He underwent a laparoscopic left inguinal hernia repair. The procedure took forty minutes, and he went home two hours later. He took none of his prescribed pain medication after the operation. In contrast to open surgery, no restrictions were placed on activity, exercise, or lifting after the laparoscopic repair. J.T. reported a full return to his active lifestyle by the third postoperative day.

You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. Index Illustration A sports hernia, also known as athletic pubalgia, is a tear in the muscles of the lower abdomen. It causes pain in the lower abdomen or groin. Men get athletic pubalgia more commonly than women. The pain from a sports hernia usually begins slowly. There are different theories about how this hernia occurs. One possibility is that tight or strong hip flexor muscles tilt the pelvis forward and stretch the lower abdominal wall muscles, eventually leading to small tears in the muscles and tissues. Activities that require a lot of bending over and leaning forward can lead to this problem. Athletes who play soccer, ice hockey, rugby, field hockey, tennis, or run track are most likely to get a sports hernia.

The cause of hiatus hernia is usually unknown. Sometimes it exists from birth. The stomach sometimes protrudes upward through the diaphragm from its normal position in the upper abdomen. This condition sometimes occurs as a birth defect, in which case it is called a diaphragmatic hernia (see Birth Defects: Diaphragmatic Hernia ); in adults, the condition is called hiatus (hiatal) hernia.

Extractions: What are the treatment options? There is a large incisional hernia in relation to a lower right paramedian incision. The incidence of incisional hernia is approximately 10% following abdominal surgery and is much more common when delayed healing is present. This might be due to patient factors such as malnutrition, collagen disorders, advanced malignancy or surgical factors such as poor technique, wound infection, suture material defects. Treatment is by operative repair, either a sutured repair or, more commonly, insertion of a prosthetic mesh. Long term results are, however, poor and re-recurrence often occurs. Click here for answer

Extractions: Back to table of contents Inguinal Hernia/ Hydrocele Definition A hernia is a protrusion of normal cavity contents through the fascia and muscular layers designed to contain them. Embryology During the 3rd month of gestation, the testis begins its descent from a retroperitoneal location, following the course of the gubernaculum.. The gubernaculum is followed by the processus vaginalis, a finger-like extension of the peritoneum, through the internal ring and into the inguinal canal by the 7th month of gestation. In most children the processus vaginalis involutes elinimating communication between the scrotum and the peritoneal cavity. Persistent patency of all or part of the processus vaginalis results in a hernia or hydrocele. Incidence The majority of inguinal hernias in infants and children are indirect. 3-5% of full-term infants; 5-30% of premature infants. Increased incidence with prematurity, (+) family history, abdominal wall defects, exstrophy of the bladder or cloaca, GU anomalies, undescended testes, intersex disorders, liver disease with ascites, peritoneal dialysis, V-P shunts, cystic fibrosis, disorders of connective tissue formation, mucopolysaccharidosis. Clinical Presentations Hallmark of an indirect inguinal hernia is a groin bulge at the top of the scrotum or within the scrotum.
