“…A study from the Danish Hernia Database demonstrated a 15-fold greater incidence of femoral hernias after inguinal hernia repair compared with spontaneous incidence [30]. These femoral recurrences occurred earlier than inguinal recurrences, suggesting that they were possibly femoral hernias overlooked at the primary operation [30]. All femoral recurrences occurred after a previous open anterior operation [31].…”

“…In a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies concerning patientrelated risk factors for recurrence, female sex was found to be a significant risk factor for recurrence after inguinal hernia surgery [29].

Current Concepts of Inguinal Hernia Repair

With more than 20 million patients annually, inguinal hernia repair is one of the most often performed surgical procedures worldwide. The lifetime risk to develop an inguinal hernia is 27-43% for men and 3-6% for women. In spite of all advances, 11% of all patients suffer from a recurrence and 10-12% from chronic pain following primary inguinal hernia repair. By developing evidence-based guidelines and recommendations, the international hernia societies aim to improve the outcome of inguinal hernia repair due to standardization of care. From a total of more than 100 different repair techniques for inguinal and femoral hernias, classified as tissue repair, open mesh repair, and laparo-endoscopic mesh repair, the new International Guidelines of the Hernia-Surge Group only recommend the totally extraperitoneal patch plasty (TEP), transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP), and Lichtenstein techniques. Since a generally accepted technique suitable for all inguinal hernias does not exist, surgeons should provide both an anterior open (Lichtenstein) and a posterior laparo-endoscopic (TEP or TAPP) approach option. The guidelines strongly recommend that surgeons tailor the treatment of inguinal hernias based on expertise, local/national resources, and patient- and hernia-related factors. A tailored approach in inguinal hernia repair should pay heed to the patient- and hernia-related factors, unilateral hernia in men and women, bilateral hernia, recurrent hernia, scrotal hernia, previous pelvic and lower abdominal surgery, severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidities, and incarcerated hernia.

“…Femoral hernias were also more common in patients with recurrent hernia, occurring at a 15-fold higher rate in patients who had undergone inguinal hernia surgery than in those who had not undergone any prior surgery [27]. In the present retrospective study we found twice as many femoral hernias among patients with hernia recurrence (11.1% versus 5.1%).…”

the aim of the study was statistic evaluation of anatomopathologic changes of synchoperated groin hernias. material and methods. In 1994In , 2099 patients were operated due to inguinal hernias. 1343 times the operation was conducted unilaterally, 756 (36.2%) bilaterally (1512 hernias). Patients were divided into three age groups: A ≤ 45 years of age, B -46-64 years of age and C ≥ 65 years of age. results. Among those operated bilaterally and synchronically the most frequent were lateral hernias, constituting from 57.2% to 69.8%, medial from 21.41% to 28.4%, combined from 8.81% to 14.52% of all operated hernias in all age groups. Hernias size I (<1.5 cm) constituted among bilateral hernias 29.66% of cases in age group A and 15% in age group C. For unilateral hernias the numbers were respectively 32.95% and 8.32%. Hernias size III (>3 cm) made up for bilateral hernias 26.14% of cases in age A, for unilateral hernias that was 18.9%. In age group C the figures were respectively 47.05% and 47.54%. Hernias size II in all age groups constituted from 37.95% to 48.15% of all cases. Recurrent hernias constituted 8.46% of operated bilateral hernias (128 cases). Among unilateral hernias, 124 recurrent cases were operated (9.23%). Femoral hernias coexisted among 25 men (1.75%) and 10 women (11.9%) operated bilaterally and among 41 patients operated unilaterally (3.05%). conclusions. In case of bilateral hernias there was no correlation found between coexistence of femoral hernia and age of patients; among men they were mainly left, and in case of women -right side cases. Among unilaterally operated patients the coexistence of femoral hernia was observed more frequently in the elderly group, among women mostly on the right side. Key words: inguinal bilateral hernias, inguinal unilateral hernias, anatomopathologic changes, appearance of hernias Groin hernias have accompanied men since we took standing erect position. Hernias operations are one of the most frequently conducted surgeries. The origins of scientific classification of hernias date back to the end of XIX century. There is still no uniform division and full data regarding etiopathogenesis of hernias available (1). Reports about synchexistence and bilateral operations of groin hernias are sparse and incomplete.Purpose of thesis: Statistic evaluation of anatomopathologic changes of sync-operated groin hernias. StatisticData about hernias were introduced immediately after operation to electronic data base. Statistic analysis was conducted with the use of statistic programme SPSS version 15.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Statistic calculations were carried out using paired Student's t-test , Mann-Whitney's U-test and Pearson's c²-test. MATERIAL AND METHODSIn 1994-2005 there were 2099 patients operated in our clinic because of inguinal hernias.
