Abstract :

An inguinal hernia occurs in the abdomen near the groin area. They develop when fatty or intestinal tissues push through a weakness in the abdominal wall near the right or left inguinal canal. Each inguinal canal resides at the base of the abdomen. Both men and woman have inguinal canals. In men, the testes usually descend through their canal by around a few weeks before birth. In women, each canal is the location of passage for the round ligament of the uterus. If you have a hernia in or near this passageway, it results in a protruding bulge. It may be painful during movement. Many people don’t seek treatment for this type of hernia because it may be small or not cause any symptoms. Prompt medical treatment can help prevent further protrusion and discomfort. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 patients admitted in the Postgraduate Department of Surgery in Stanley Medical College Chennai for inguinal hernia surgery during the period of January 2002–September 2003. Inclusion Criteria: All patients with groin hernia. Exclusion criteria : Patient with serious cardiovascular or renal complications. CONCLUSION : Majority of patients comes with direct inguinal hernia especially patient belonging to old age. Young patient presents with indirect inguinal hernia. Postoperative complications can be minimize with good surgical technique and proper postoperative care.
