Method of internal drainage of seroma after hernioplasty

Abstract

A method for allohernioplasty of indirect inguinal hernia has been developed, in which an additional layer consisting of the peritoneum of the hernial sac is formed between the spermatic cord and the mesh. The peritoneal flap prevents direct contact between the mesh and the spermatic cord and ensures rapid absorption of inflammatory serous fluid. The manifestations of implant-associate inflammation of the spermatic cord and persistent seromas decrease in the tissues. The method was applied in 25 patients in the period from 2017 to 2021.
