Abstract:
Inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases of general surgeons, which is the result of congenital factors, changes in collagen metabolism, post-prostatectomy, genetics and other factors. Surgery is an effective means of treatment, but the best surgical method is still uncertain. Open tension-free hernia repair is widely welcomed by surgeons because of its simple operation, short learning curve and low recurrence rate.Laparoscopic hernia repair has developed rapidly due to its advantages of less trauma, less postoperative pain, faster postoperative recovery and fewer surgery-related complications.Robotic surgery is comparable to laparoscopic surgery but is more expensive. Appropriate anesthesia and mesh selection can reduce postoperative complications and improve patients′ quality of life. In this paper, the risk factors, surgical methods, anesthesia methods, and the selection of mesh in adult inguinal hernia were reviewed based on relevant studies at home and abroad in recent years.
