Ipsilateral multiple groin hernias are frequently overlooked during surgery, contributing to hernia recurrence. Preoperative herniography can help identify these missed hernias, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical outcomes
  • Hernia repair
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Groin hernia recurrence rates range from 3% to 20% after surgical repair.
  • Overlooked ipsilateral multiple hernias may be a significant cause of recurrent groin hernias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the frequency of ipsilateral multiple hernias in patients with unclear groin pain.
  • To assess the utility of herniography in diagnosing these hernias.

Main Methods:

  • 1010 patients with unclear groin pain underwent herniography.
  • Hernia types (indirect, direct, femoral, obturator) and presence of multiple hernias were recorded.

Main Results:

  • 314 patients had hernias; 71 (23%) had multiple hernias.

  • Ipsilateral multiple hernias were identified in 18 (6%) patients.
  • The incidence of ipsilateral multiple hernias varied by hernia type, being highest in femoral (21%) and obturator (23%) hernias.

    • Conclusions:

    • The actual frequency of ipsilateral multiple hernias is higher than previously reported.
    • These overlooked hernias likely contribute to apparent recurrences after herniorrhaphy.
    • Thorough surgical exploration and preoperative herniography are recommended for recurrent groin symptoms.
