Dev İnguinal Herni Onarımı veya Orşiopeksi Sırasında Yırtılan Fıtık Kesesi İçin Basit ve Etkili Bir Teknik: İnsizyon

Abstract

Tearing of hernial sac during giant inguinal hernia repair or orchiopexy presents a challenge to the pediatric surgeons, even in expert hands. We here describe a technique that is easy for performing high ligation in cases complicated with torn hernial sac. The steps of our incision technique is: Non-separated part was tightened with the help of forceps localized at the lateral aspects of teared sac. The incision to the sac was fashioned by scalpel No 15, while taking care to avoid injury to the underlying testicular vessels and vas deferens. Then, wound edges of the proximal hernia sac were moved forward by using fine tissue forceps and scalpel. The walls of proximal sac were totally grasped in one forceps and dissected gently from the remaining adhesions and cremasteric fibers up to the level of the internal ring. The mean age of the patients was 13.9±18.1 months (range 3 weeks-7 years). The diagnosis of the patients was inguinal hernia in 17 (63%) and undescended testis in 10 (37%). Seven (25,9%) of the patients had a large inguinal hernia sac. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications. This is a safe and effective technique in patients complicated with torn hernial sac during herniotomy. It reduces the risk of further tearing of hernial sac. Short duration is another advantage. This technique can also be performed with using surgical loupe or microscope to care not to damage the vas and vessels.
