Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the use of ultrasonography befor and after inguinal hernioplasty.Methods In 30 patients, 32 inguinal hernias were submitted to tension-free inguinal hernioplasty,ultrasonography was applied before the surgery and after one mother. Ultrasonography revealed the character of the hernia before the surgery and observed the situation of the mesh after the surgery.Results Diagnostic ultrasound detected 20 inguinal hernias,4 direct hernias, and 3 femoral hernias which were consistent with intraoperative findings. We identified 2 seromas, 1 recurrence of hernia and 1 folding mesh after hernia repair. Conclusion Ultrasonography is a useful examination in preoperative assessing inguinal hernia and demonstrating postoperative complications associated with mesh.
