Arterial injuries during inguinal herniorrhaphy.

R C Shamberger, L W Ottinger, R A Malt

    Annals of Surgery
    |July 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Inguinal herniorrhaphy can lead to arterial injury due to stitch placement near major vessels. Prompt surgical repair is crucial to restore blood flow and prevent complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Inguinal herniorrhaphy involves sutures near the iliac vessels.
    • Arterial injury during this procedure is underreported in English literature.

    Observation:

    • Four adult cases of arterial injury post-inguinal herniorrhaphy are presented.
    • Risk factors include needle depth and proximity to the external iliac artery.
    • Injury mechanisms involve direct puncture or branch avulsion.

    Findings:

    • Transversalis fascia incorporation in sutures jeopardizes the artery.
    • Accurate judgment of needle penetration and vessel proximity is essential.
    • Subnormal distal pulses post-surgery indicate unacceptable injury.

    Implications:

    • Immediate surgical repair of arterial injuries is paramount.
    • Adequate surgical exposure, potentially involving division of the inguinal canal floor, is necessary.
    • Repair options range from simple sutures to complex grafts.
