Shouldice hernioplasty effectively treats primary and recurrent inguinal hernias with a low recurrence rate. This surgical repair, often performed under local anesthesia, allows for early patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Inguinal hernias are common surgical conditions.
  • Recurrent hernias pose a significant challenge in surgical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of Shouldice hernioplasty.
  • To assess Shouldice repair for both primary and recurrent inguinal hernias.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 108 patients (111 inguinal hernias) treated with Shouldice hernioplasty since 1978.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, hernia type, anesthesia, operation time, complications, and follow-up.
  • Assessment of recurrence rates and recovery periods.

Main Results:

  • A total of 108 patients underwent Shouldice hernioplasty, with 85.6% primary and 14.4% recurrent hernias.

  • Local anesthesia was used in 67.6% of cases, with an average operation time of 84 minutes.
  • Low complication rate (4.5%) and a single recurrence (1.0%) observed during an average follow-up of 4.6 years.

    • Conclusions:

    • Shouldice hernioplasty demonstrates high effectiveness for both primary and recurrent inguinal hernias.
    • The procedure is frequently performed under local anesthesia, facilitating early recovery.
    • This technique offers a reliable and safe surgical option for inguinal hernia repair.
