Direct diverticular inguinal hernia (DDIH) presents typically but is often missed. Herniography and surgery confirmed specific fascial defects in 19 patients, highlighting DDIH as a distinct hernia type.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Direct diverticular inguinal hernia (DDIH) is a specific type of inguinal hernia.
  • Its clinical presentation and radiographic appearance can be typical but are often overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical, radiographic, and surgical findings in patients with direct diverticular inguinal hernia.
  • To emphasize the distinct characteristics of DDIH and its potential for misdiagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Nineteen patients with suspected DDIH underwent herniography.
  • Surgical exploration was performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the hernia characteristics.
  • Clinical manifestations and physical examination findings were recorded.

Main Results:

  • Eighteen patients presented with a medial groin lump and pain.
  • Physical examination identified DDIH in only 6 patients.
  • Herniography revealed hernial sacs in 16 patients (5 supravesical, 11 medial inguinal).
  • Surgery confirmed a defect in the transverse fascia in all patients.
  • Peritoneal hernial sacs were found in 16 patients; 3 had lipomas (fatty hernia).

Conclusions:

  • Direct diverticular inguinal hernia is a specific entity with characteristic clinical and radiographic features.
  • DDIH is likely underdiagnosed due to its subtle presentation and potential for being overlooked during surgery.
  • Recognition of DDIH is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.
