Objectives
Identify patients at risk for herniasUnderstand the etiology and pathophysiology of
herniasReview the demographics of patients with herniasDiscuss common hernia locations and associated
signs and symptomsUnderstand why (or why not) a hernia should be
repairedProvide an overview of techniques for hernia repair
and associated controversies
Common hernia types Inguinal Hernia
Hernia:The protrusion of an organ or other bodily
structure through the wall that normally contains it; a rupture.; p
Inguinal:Of, relating to, or located in the groin.
Myopectineal Orifice of Fruchaud
MPO
Superior- arched fibers of int. oblique
Inferior – iliac bone
Medial – rectus abdominis m. Lateral – iliopsoas & iliopectineal arch

Modern Hernia Repairs
Unchanged from 1890-1980
Primary tissue repair
Many repair types
Fundamentally similar
sutured repair, tension, prolonged recovery, disability, and high recurrence
“It will seem extremely bold to write about the radical repair of inguinal hernias, especially nowadays after all the publications in the past and the restless activity in the present. I thought of a surgical technique of physiological g q p y greconstruction of the inguinal canal, consisting of two openings, an abdominal and a subcutaneous, and of two walls, a posterior and an anterior, with the spermatic cord between them.”

Incisional Hernias
Common clinical problem
More than 10% of laparotomy incisions
1.3 million laparotomies per year
150,000 hernias created annually
6-15% incidence of incarceration
2% incidence of strangulation
Biology of Hernias
Mechanisms of Recurrenceinfection, lateral detachment of mesh, inadequate mesh fixation, inadequate mesh, inadequate mesh overlap
Inlay with 2.5 fold increased recurrence compared to underlay, sandwich, overlay

Pascal’s Principle
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
liquid in a closed container at rest t it h ith t ltransmits a pressure change without loss to the walls
pressure in a gas or fluid is the same in all directions

Law of LaPlace
Wall tension(T) is proportional to pressure(P) and radius(R)
Increased Radius Increased tension
T i l ti l t ll thi k (M)T inversely proportional to wall thickness(M)
T= P x R / 2M

Conclusions
Hernias are common and frequently encountered
Most abdominal hernias should be repaired electively to avoid devastating complications
Watchful waiting is appropriate in high riskWatchful waiting is appropriate in high risk ASYMPTOMATIC patients
All symptomatic hernias should be repaired
Minimally Invasive Surgery offers improved outcomes and quicker return to activities for all hernia repairs
