Hernia
• Definition– An abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue
outside its normal body cavity or restraining sheath

Causes of Hernia• May exploit natural openings(inguinal,femoral and
obturator canals, umbilicus and oesophageal hiatus) or weak areas caused by stretching, surgical incision or laparotomy
• Any condition that increases the pressure of the abdominal cavity may contribute to the formation or worsening of a hernia.– Obesity– Heavy lifting– Coughing– Straining during a bowel movement or urination– Chronic ling disease– Fluid in the abdominal cavity– Hereditary

Sign and symptoms
• The signs and symptoms of a hernia can range from noticing a painless lump to the painful, tender, swollen protrusion of tissue that you are unable to push back into the abdomen—possibly a strangulated hernia. – Reducible hernia– Irreducible hernia– Obstructed hernia– Strangulated hernia– Inflammed hernia
![Page 9: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reducible hernia
– Asymptomatic reducible hernia• New lump and the groin or other abdominal wall area• May ache but is not tender when touched.• Sometimes pain precedes the discovery of the lump.• Lump increases in size when standing or when abdominal pressure
is increased (such as coughing) • May be reduced (pushed back into the abdomen) unless very large
![Page 10: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Irreducible hernia
– Irreducible hernia• Usually painful enlargement of a previous hernia that
cannot be returned into the abdominal cavity on its own or when you push it • Some may be long term without pain • Can lead to strangulation • Signs and symptoms of bowel obstruction may occur,
such as nausea and vomiting
![Page 11: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Strangulated hernia
– Strangulated hernia• Irreducible hernia where the entrapped intestine has
its blood supply cut off • Pain always present followed quickly by tenderness and
sometimes symptoms of bowel obstruction (nausea and vomiting) • You may appear ill with or without fever • Surgical emergency • All strangulated hernias are irreducible (but all
irreducible hernias are not strangulated)

Incisional hernia
• One that occurs through the wound of a previous operation
• Same features as a hernia that is caused by non-surgical injury to the abdominal wall
• 1% of transparietal abdominal incisions are followed by a hernia
![Page 17: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Aetiology• A postoperative complication,can be
considered in terms of three factor– Preoperative factors– Operative factors– Postoperative factors
![Page 18: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Preoperative factors• Age: older usually need more time to heal• Malnutrition• Sepsis: worsen• Uraemia: inhibit fibroblast division• Jaundice: impedes collagen maturation• Obesity• Diabetes mellitus• Steroids• Peritonitis
![Page 19: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Operative factorsType of incisions
vertical are more prone to hernia than transverseTechnique and materials
Tension in the closure decrease the blood supply in woundLoosen knotsClosure using rapidly absorbable suture materials
Type of operationOperations involve bowel or urinary tract are more likely to
develop wound infectionDrain tube
![Page 20: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Postoperative factors• Wound infection:– Same important with the wrong choice of suture material– Enzyme destruction of healing tissues– Inflammatory swelling raises tissue tension and impedes
blood supply– 5-20% of wound infections result in a hernia
• Abdominal distension– Postoperative ileus increase the tension on a wound– Stitches may cut out
• Coughing:generates wound tension
![Page 21: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Signs and symptoms• A bulge in the scar• As the hernia enlarges and loculates, symptoms of subacute I/O
are common• Overlying skin:thin and atrophic,eventually ulcer and rupture• Strangulation is a surgical emergency
• P/E:– Usually reducible– Hernia with a cough impulse at the site of an old scar– When the patient lies flat, hernias deceptively small,any
manoeuvre that raise intra-abdominal pressure produces the hernia in all its glory
![Page 22: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Management Even small symptomatic hernias should be repaired early
Prolonged observation simply increase the difficulties of subsequent repair and hazardous
Surgical technique:same as for para-umbilical herniaExicision of the sac after reduction of its contents Insertion of overlapping sutures into the rectus sheath
![Page 23: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Spigelian hernia
• Rare but clinically important, less than 1% of total• An interparietal hernia in the line of the linea
semilunaris(the lateral margin of the rectus sheath)
• Usually at the level of the arcuate line:due to all aponeurotic layers are reflected anterior to the rectus muscle
• The hernial sac emerges and enlarges like a mushroom deep to the external oblique
![Page 24: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
S&S
Symptoms Local pain that is worse on straining Lumps Non-specific lower quadrant discomfort which needs to be
investigated Features of obstruction or strangulation
Signs: Tenderness at the site of the hernial orifice Lump which may be difficult or even impossible to feel
![Page 25: Ventral hernia by Dr Teo](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062219/554b4325b4c905cd2c8b4e2a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Management
• Abdominal USG/CT:useful in the demonstration of these hernias
• Repair:A simple matter of excising the sac and closing the defect/Laparoscopic repairs
