Inguinal hernia repair complications are unusual, and the procedure as a whole proves to be relatively safe for the majority of patients. Risks inherent in almost all surgical procedures include: [9] bleeding; infection; fluid collections; damage to surrounding structures such as blood vessels, nerves, or the bladder; urinary retention ...
Hernia repair is a surgical operation for the correction of a hernia—a bulging of internal organs or tissues through the wall that contains it. It can be of two different types: herniorrhaphy; or hernioplasty. [1]
Post-Operative Complications. Some complications from surgery in order of prevalence include a seroma/hematoma formation, urinary retention, neuralgias, testicular pain/swelling, mesh infection/wound infection, and recurrence. [45] A seroma is often seen after an indirect hernia repair and resolves spontaneously over 4–6 weeks.
Post herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, or inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery of inguinal hernia. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain (>10%) surpasses recurrence (<2%) and is an important measure of success.
Clinically, incisional hernias present as a bulge or protrusion at or near the area of a surgical incision. Virtually any prior abdominal operation can develop an incisional hernia at the scar area (provided adequate healing does not occur due to infection), including large abdominal procedures such as intestinal or vascular surgery, and small incisions, such as appendix removal or abdominal ...
May be acute, subacute or chronic, duration varies from days (acute infection) to many months (chronic infection) Causes: microorganisms (usually bacteria, but also fungi) causing infection of a prosthetic joint: Risk factors: smoking, diabetes, immunosuppression, obesity, chronic liver or kidney disease: Diagnostic method
Methods to decrease surgical site infections in spine surgery include the application of antiseptic skin preparation (a.g. Chlorhexidine gluconate in alcohol which is twice as effective as any other antiseptic for reducing the risk of infection [9]), judicious use of surgical drains, prophylactic antibiotics, and vancomycin. [10]
In contrast to the laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh plan of action there is a significant higher risk associated with complications and recurrence rates during the period following a surgical operation. [11] A Spigelian hernia becomes immediately operative once the risk of incarceration is confirmed.
