Mesh Hernioplasty in Obstructed Inguinal Hernia
Dr. Altaf Ahmed Malik, Prof. Ajaz Ahmad Rather
Abstract :
Background: Mesh Hernioplasty in patients undergoing emergency obstructed inguinal hernia repair is considered impractical, mostly because of
potential infectious complications.
Objective: The main aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty in treating obstructed inguinal hernias.
Material: This study was undertaken in the department of General Surgery SKIMS Medical College Hospital from July 2014 to March 2018. 39
patients were included in the study. All patients underwent Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty for obstructed inguinal hernia in emergency operating
room.
Results: 6 patients (15.38%) developed seroma which was managed by adequate drainage. 4 (10.25%) patients had culture proven wound site
infection but responded well to local drainage and antibiotics. 2 (5.12%) patients developed systemic sepsis. 4 patients (10.25%) developed
recurrence over a follow–up period of 1 year.
Conclusions: Mesh repairs can be safely performed in obstructed/ incarcerated inguinal hernias.
