Abstract:
ObjectiveTo improve the diagnosis of occult or recurrent inguinal indirect hernias. Methods 47 patients with obscure groin or incisional pain with normal physical examinations were undergone herniography. Results26 patients had hernias confirmed by herniography, including 22 indirect and 4 recurrent hernias. The symptoms disappeared after herniorrhaphy in the 26 patients. Eighteen of the other 21 patients with normal herniography were asymptomatic via other treatment 3 months after herniography. Conclusions Herniography is useful to diagnose the occult or recurrent inguinal indirect hernias in patients with inguinal region pain of unclear causes.
