    Summary

    Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgery. Mesh repair shows advantages over non-mesh repair, supporting patient-centered decision-making as the new standard for inguinal hernia treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • General Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Context:

    • Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequent general surgery procedure.
    • Surgeon's choice of technique is influenced by various factors, including anatomical knowledge and team performance.
    • Historically, the Shouldice procedure was standard, but mesh implantation is now prevalent.

    Purpose:

    • To review factors influencing inguinal hernia repair methods.
    • To compare mesh versus non-mesh repair techniques.
    • To advocate for patient-oriented decision-making in surgical method selection.

    Summary:

    • Optimal outcomes in inguinal hernia operations depend on anatomical knowledge, standardized procedures, and minimal blood loss, applicable to all techniques.
    • While the Shouldice procedure was a long-standing standard, current practice (as of 1998) favors mesh implantation in over 80% of American cases.
    • Evidence-based medicine reviews indicate mesh repair offers advantages compared to non-mesh repair.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the shift towards mesh repair in inguinal hernia surgery.
    • Emphasizes the importance of evidence-based medicine in surgical practice.
    • Promotes patient-centered care as the future standard for inguinal hernia repair decisions.
