Inguinal Hernia Surgery

03/06/2015

INGUINAL HERNIA SURGERY


An Inguinal Hernia is the most common type of Hernia. It occurs when part of your bowel pokes through into your groin.

The bowel pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle wall (abdominal wall). The weak area is called the inguinal canal, a channel through which your blood vessels pass.

Inguinal Hernias occur mainly in men. Most are thought to be due to ageing - The hernia can appear as a swelling in your groin or as an enlarged scrotum (pouch containing the testes), which may be painful. The swelling often disappears when you lie down.

Two types of Inguinal Hernia exists:

  • Indirect Hernia, which corresponds to organs going down the scrotum,

  • Direct Hernia, which corresponds to organs bulging at groin level, just above the pubis.


Surgery’s goal is to reduce and reintegrate the Hernia within the abdominal cavity and to close the hole with an implant which will strengthen and protect the abdominal wall.

Different surgical techniques exist:

  • Laparoscopic technique, with 2 or 3 incisions ranging from 0,5 to 1 cm

  • Direct skin incision on tops of the Hernia


Our surgeons master all techniques; the final choice depends on the Hernia size, your health condition, and your wishes. It will be discussed with your medical team.
