Postoperative Complications Of Inguinal Hernia
It is possible to avoid most of these complications if one follows a set of well defined steps and principles of endoscopic inguinal hernia surgery.
Postoperative complications of inguinal hernia. Complications in endoscopic inguinal hernia surgery are more dangerous and more frequent than those of open surgery especially in inexperienced hands and hence are best avoided. Complications in endoscopic inguinal hernia surgery are more dangerous and more frequent than those of open surgery especially in inexperienced hands and hence are best avoided. Early postoperative complications may be either systemic or local with cardiac and respiratory conditions comprising the former group. Complications after inguinal or femoral hernia repair are relatively common with the incidence depending upon the clinical circumstance under which the repair was performed as well as the site and type of the hernia.
In systematic reviews the overall risk of complications after inguinal hernia surgery has been in the range of 15 28. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there is a relationship between specific postoperative complications and risk for chronic pain after open inguinal hernia repair. Miscellaneous intraoperative complications relate to problems associated with the repair of massive hernias missed hernia and the loss of strangulated bowel into the abdominal cavity. Urgent and emergent procedures are associated with higher complication rates compared with elective repair.
