A hernia is a hole in the abdominal wall. This hole allows the protrusion of a structure that is supposed to be within the abdomen. The structure that protrudes can be some fat, a loop of intestine, the appendix, an ovary, or part of the bladder.
You can think of a hernia like an inner tube of a tire that is protruding out of the outer tread which is worn out. Hernias can occur in men and women of all ages and in children. Some hernias are present at birth. Others develop slowly over a period of months or years.

INCIDENCE
No peritoneum sac - no hernia:

Abdominal wall (ventral) hernias
Inguinal hernias are in the groin area. They are most common in men, primarily because of the unsupported space left in the groin after the testicles descend into the scrotum
![Page 6: Bohomolets Surgery 4th year Lecture #2](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554b42eab4c905b5378b4d4f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Abdominal wall (ventral) hernias
femoral hernias occur at the top of the thigh in the space through which the femoral artery, vein, and nerve pass into the thigh. These hernias occur most often in women

Abdominal wall (ventral) hernias
Umbilical hernias occur in the umbilicus (belly button). They are usually congenital hernias (present since birth)
![Page 8: Bohomolets Surgery 4th year Lecture #2](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554b42eab4c905b5378b4d4f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Abdominal wall (ventral) hernias
Incisional hernias occur at the site of previous abdominal surgery

Congenital inguinal hernia
Inguinal hernia:the processus vaginalis has remained open allowing abdominal contents (fluid and loops of bowel) to enter into the scrotum

the hernia sac exits through the internal inguinal ring and takes an oblique path
the hernia sac exits through the external inguinal ring directly
Inguinal hernias can be indirect or direct:

A sliding hernia is an indirect hernia where the posterior wall of the sac is formed by large bowel (ascending colon
on the right, sigmoid/descending colon on the left) or bladder
![Page 17: Bohomolets Surgery 4th year Lecture #2](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554b42eab4c905b5378b4d4f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why do hernias develop?
Familial predisposition: connective tissue disorders (altering collagen formation)
Hernias commonly develop in an area of weakness including natural spaces and thin tissue, such as the internal inguinal ring and the floor of the inguinal canal.
Hernias may develop at these sites or other areas due to aging, injury, an old incision, or a weakness present at birth. Another important factor in the development of hernias is an increase in the intra-abdominal pressure. This could be secondary to chronic constipation and prolonged straining, chronic persistent coughing, lifting heavy objects, pregnancy, obesity, or chronic liver disease.

Prognosis : hernia recurrence • hernia recurrence rates after primary groin hernia repair :
from < 1% to almost 15%• after repair of recurrent groin hernia: < 3% of second
recurrence
• after incisional hernia repair may exceed 30%• closure under excessive tension• failure to exclude adjacent musculoaponeurotic defects• failure to identify and use an adequately strong
musculoaponeurotic margin• wound infection• inadequate collagen formation in the wound (malnutrition,
concomitant therapeutic administration of corticosteroids or antimetabolites)
• chronically high intraabdominal pressure

Long term randomized clinical trial of non mesh versus mesh repair of primary inguinal hernia
• Prospective studies and meta-analysis have demonstrated the increased recurrence rate with no mesh technique
• The 10 year cumulative hernia recurrence rate of
17% for non mesh and 1% for mesh repair
• Half of the recurrences after 3 years follow up

Two meta-analyses (Memon 2003 & McCormack 2003)
Laparoscopic vs Open hernia repair
Both conclude that:• - lap hernia takes longer to perform• - lap hernia associated with less pain• - lap hernia ---- faster to return to normal activity• - lap hernia recurrence rates similar or lower• - lap hernia complication rare similar or lower
BUT SOME RARE SEVERE UNIQUE COMPLICATIONS in lap hernia

Onlay placement
GORE-TEX DUALMESH
The biomaterial features two functionally distinct surfaces: a closed structure surface for reduced tissue attachment and a macroporous structure surface for faster tissue attachment.

sublay/inlay placement
VYPRO mesh is placed preperitoneally as a sublay
Direct contact between the mesh and intraperitoneal structures must be
avoided by using intact peritoneum

PROLENE MESH: major comlication
The placement of the mesh in the preperitoneal, retromuscular position with a wide overlap of at least 5 cm over the hernia defect in all directions was introduced in the late 1980’s. The refinement of this method decreased the recurrence rates to as low as 3.5% making it to be declared the standard of care of ventral hernias. However implantation of the mesh by open techniques requires wide dissection of soft tissue contributing to an increase in wound infection and wound- related complications
![Page 49: Bohomolets Surgery 4th year Lecture #2](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554b42eab4c905b5378b4d4f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Ideal hernia mesh• Remains strong and supple• Does not shrink• Incorporates rapidly to the abdominal wall• Provides for permanent repair• Does nor adhere to viscera• Does nit become infected• Not carcinogenic or allergenic• Causes no pain or discomfort• Easy to handle• inexpensive

Incision hernia repair
PROCEED* Surgical Mesh can be used inside the abdomen for incisional/ventral hernias. It is a multi-layered product with a newer lightweight construction that allows a more flexible scar tissue to develop. PROCEED also has a layer of fabric that is biodegradable and separates the supportive mesh from the surrounding organs. As healing progresses, the material dissolves away.
![Page 51: Bohomolets Surgery 4th year Lecture #2](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554b42eab4c905b5378b4d4f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
ULTRAPRO* Partially Absorbable Mesh. It is the only mesh in the United States that is partially biodegradable, and is the only mesh with all the features of lightweight design -- thin filament size, large pore construction, and absorbable materials. ULTRAPRO mesh creates a strong yet flexible scar tissue that mimics the natural abdominal wall, unlike the rigid, thick scar tissue that can form with heavyweight, small pore meshes.
