This study reviewed 287 recurrent inguinal hernia repairs. The best repair technique for recurrent inguinal hernias was cord excision and canal closure, with a 5% recurrence rate, though it carries testicular risks.

Area of Science:

  • Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Recurrent inguinal hernias present a significant surgical challenge.
  • Multiple repair techniques exist, each with varying success rates and complication profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of different surgical techniques for recurrent inguinal hernia repair.
  • To identify the most effective method for minimizing recurrence.

Main Methods:

  • A personal series of 287 recurrent inguinal hernia repairs performed by a single surgeon.
  • Four distinct repair techniques were analyzed: Bassini operation, posterior 'lace repair', cord division with local repair, and cord excision with canal closure.

Main Results:

  • The overall recurrence rate across all techniques was 9% (27/287).

Related Experiment Videos

  • The technique involving cord excision and canal closure demonstrated the lowest recurrence rate at 5% (2/43).
  • However, cord excision carries a risk of testicular complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • While cord excision and canal closure appears most effective for recurrent inguinal hernias, potential testicular complications must be considered.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize this technique and mitigate risks.
