Abstract

Kugel hernia repair is classically carried out through the posterior approach; in this study we investigated the effectiveness and invasiveness of a Modified Kugel (Bard-Davol Inc., RI, USA) hernia repair procedure carried out through an anterior approach. A prospective series covering a 2-year period, including 122 patients (142 hernias) were carried out using the anterior approach. Patient comfort, complications and recurrence were evaluated. A total of 142 inguinal hernias were repaired, median age was 67 years, the mean operation time was 51 ± 23 min and the average incision was 4.5 cm. There was one case recurrence 5 months after repair. Other complications were few and not severe, only slight groin discomfort was observed in two patients during follow up. This Modified Kugel hernia through anterior approach is effective, mini-invasive and easy to learn with fewer complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The preperitoneal fascia of the groin is distinct from the transversalis fascia, although often mistaken for it. This distinction, and other special features of this fascia in the inguen, are more readily appreciated in the course of the preperitoneal approach than by the conventional transinguinal approach. Certain features of this fascia which are of practical surgical significance are emphasized, especially those concerning operations for hernias, hydroceles, or undescended testes in infancy and childhood. These special features include the preperitoneal fascial ring or secondary internal ring, which appears to have been confused in the past with the transversalis fascial opening or internal ring proper. Other features concerning the relative merits of the preperitoneal approach to groin hernias as opposed to the conventional transinguinal approach are discussed.
