“…The rate of incarcerated groin hernias changes by countries. Ge et al found this rate 12,8% in China [16], Nilsson et al found 6% [17], and Bickell et al found 13% [18]. Ge et al concluded that the main causes of high incarceration rates are economic problems and lack of insurance [16].…”

Purpose. To evaluate the predictive effect of IMA in incarcerated hernias. Methods. Three groups (n = 7) of rats were operated. Group I aimed to mimic incarceration, group II aimed the strangulation, and group III was the sham group. IMA and LDH measurements were made. Results. IMA levels were significantly higher in strangulation mimicking group and IMA levels were normal at postoperative 6th hour in incarceration mimicking group. LDH levels were significantly higher in both incarceration and strangulation mimicking groups. Conclusion. IMA seems to be an effective marker in incarcerated hernias to predict necrosis. But we need further studies to generalise this hypothesis.

“…Of these patients, bowel resection was required in 15.4% of cases (28/182). A logistic regression model identified three independent risk factors for bowel resection: lack of health insurance (odds ratio [OR], 5, P = 0.005), obvious peritonitis (OR, 11.52, P = 0.019), and femoral hernia (OR, 8.31, P < 0.001) [14]. …”

WSES guidelines for emergency repair of complicated abdominal wall hernias

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Emergency repair of complicated abdominal hernias is associated with poor prognosis and a high rate of post-operative complications.A World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) Consensus Conference was held in Bergamo in July 2013, during the 2nd Congress of the World Society of Emergency Surgery with the goal of defining recommendations for emergency repair of abdominal wall hernias in adults. This document represents the executive summary of the consensus conference approved by a WSES expert panel.

Risk factors for bowel resection and outcome in patients with incarcerated groin hernias

Abstract: Risk for intestinal resection in emergency groin hernia repair is higher in patients with femoral hernia, obvious peritonitis, or those with no health insurance. Surgeons should pay more attention to these patients and initiate emergency surgery without delay.
