Hernia Treatment
To the Future Together
Hernia Repair
2
Hernia Repair is the most frequent procedure in general
surgery of the abdominal area. The treatment of hernias is
therefore for every surgeon and hospital of utmost medical
and economical importance.
Through the history of hernia treatment there have been many new techniques and innovations, but there is still
space for further developments and improvements. It is a must
to develop always better materials to improve the convenience
of the patient and to further lower the recurrence rates. Many studies show that the use of new mesh implants can reduce the rate of recurrency in hernia treatment.
The future lies in the well-tested and established hernia
methods with the new implants and materials.
The usable sutures and implants in hernia surgery has to meet
special quality requirements. To keep this quality it’s necessary to have commitment in a new research and development.
B. Braun plays a leading role in innovations due to the
research and development in all fields of medical surgery.
Innovation is the only way to the future and that’s why
the contact with the surgeons is really important to us.
Only with the help of them we can act to the new needs.
Our secret of success is a philosophy of Sharing Expertise.
B. Braun offers a dialogue to go to the future together!

Inguinal Hernia
Description:
Treatment:
A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal wall
weaken then bulge or tear. The inner lining of the abdomen
pushes through the weakened area to form a sac.
Nowadays the treatment method for the inguinal hernia
is a small operation, which is one of the most common
operations performed by surgeons.
There are several types of hernia, but the most
important are:
Umbilical hernias
Open repair
– Without mesh: Bassini, Shouldice
– Tension free method with mesh: Lichtenstein
Incisional hernias
Endoscopic repair with meshes
Femoral hernias
TAPP, TEP
Inguinal hernias
The most common hernia type is the inguinal hernia,
which has two types:
Indirect - a protrusion through the internal inguinal
ring passes along the inguinal canal through the
abdominal wall. This is the more common form
accounting for 80 %.
Direct - hernia protrudes directly through the
abdominal wall into inguinal canal.
4
There are two kinds of operation of the inguinal hernias:
Experience shows that the use of the mesh reduces the
recurrence rate. According to the new researches the
ideal pore size guarantees, that the mesh won’t cause
discomfort for the patients. All of Aesculap products fit to
these new needs.
Our main aim is to give a short description about these
techniques, and what kind of tools, sutures and implants
are recommended for the techniques.
Hernia Preparation
Open Hernia Repair
1
Skin incision.
4
2
Splitting of the Externusaponeurose.
3
Protection of the nerves.
5
The preparation of the hernia
is an important step and the
following techniques are based
on the approach explanation
of this page.
Preparation of the Musculus cremaster.
Preparation of the herina sac.
5
Bassini Technique
Open Reparation of Inguinal Hernias
1
The inguinal canal after ligation and
resection of the hernial sac.
4
2
Starting the suture near the pubic crest.
5
3
Loose stitches comprising the inguinal
ligament, transversalis fascia, transverses abdominis muscle and internal
oblique muscle.
A series of suture lines is used to reinforce the posterior
wall of the inguinal canal and narrow the internal inguinal
ring by the “triple layer” (transversalis fascia, transverses
abdominis muscle and internal oblique muscle) is sutured
to the inguinal ligament.
Advantages:
Finished repair.
6
Closure of external oblique aponeurosis.
The operation can be performed under local
anesthesia
Can be performed in growing patients, pregnant
women and women who may become pregnant
Shouldice Technique
Open Reparation of Inguinal Hernias
1
Opening the transversalis fascia at the
level of the inguinal canal.
2
3
First line of suture
Second line of suture
Pubic crest – deep inguinal ring – pubic
crest. This running suture approximates
the iliopubic tract to the aponeurosis of
the transverses abdominis muscle, including the transversalis fascia.
Unlike Bassini’s all layer interrupted suture, the Shouldice approach to
repairing the posterior wall of the inguinal canal begins at the level
of the transversalis fascia.
The transversalis fascia is divided parallel to the inguinal ligament,
and a double layer of transversalis fascia is sutured to the inguinal
ligament, using continuous suture lines. This is reinforced by an additional continuous double layer of low-tension suture which is placed
between the internal oblique muscle and the lower part of the inguinal
ligament.
4
Deep inguinal ring – pubic crest – deep
inguinal ring. This running suture approximates the internal oblique muscle to
the inguinal ligament.
Closure of external oblique aponeurosis.
Advantages:
The operation can be performed under local
anesthesia
Double layer low-tension suture
7
Lichtenstein Technique
Open Tension Free Method
2
1
Mesh fixation to the inguinal ligament.
Mesh fixation to the inguinal ligament.
6
5
The lower edges of the two tails are
sutured to the inguinal ligament to
create a new initernal ring comprised
of mesh.
Closure of external oblique aponeurosis.
In this procedure, which uses a conventional anterior approach, a polypropylene mesh is implanted between the external aponeurosis and the
internal oblique muscle to form a strong posterior wall of the inguinal
canal.
Advantages:
Tension free
The operation can be performed under local anesthesia
8
3
4
Mesh fixation to the internal oblique
muscle.
Spermatic cord is placed between the
two tails of the mesh.
Technique:
The medial end of the mesh is cut to the shape of the medial
corner of the inguinal canal (Optilene® Pre-shaped Mesh can
also be used). The rounded corner is sutured, with a nonabsorbable monofilamented suture material, to the anterior rectus
sheath above the pubic bone and overlapping the rectus sheath
by 1 to 1.5 cm. This suture is continued to attach the lower edge of the mesh to the inguinal ligament up to a point just lateral to the internal ring.
A slit is made at the lateral end of the mesh, creating two tails.
The upper edge of the mesh is sutured in place with two interrupted absorbable sutures, one to the rectus sheth and the
other to the internal oblique aponeurosis just lateral to the
internal ring.
Using a single nonabsorbable monofilamented suture the lower
edges of each of the completion knot of the lower running
suture. This creates a new internal ring made of mesh.
Plug Technique
Tension Free Method (Rutkow – Robbins)
1
2
3
Placement of a reinforcement mesh in
the inguinal canal that through an
aperture allows passage of the spermatic cord. This opening in the mesh is
sutured.
The rest of the mesh is left unfixed.
Placing the plug at the deep inguinal
ring.
Inserting and fixing the plug in the
deep inguinal ring.
In this open tension free treatment the hernia sac is pushed
back to abdominal cavity with a Premilene® Mesh Plug and
the defect is filled perfectly.
Due to the unique technique, the use of the plug is simple.
The plug is applied following the PIS technique (Position,
Insert, Stabilize).
Advantage:
The operation can be performed under local
anesthesia
9
TAPP Technique
(TransAbdominal PrePeritoneal)
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
1
Creating the peritoneal flap.
2
Dissecting the hernia sac.
During this hernia treatment, the posterior wall of inguinal
canal will be strengthened with an endoscopically placed
polypropylene mesh between the musculature of the abdominal wall and the peritoneum through a transabdominal
entrance.
The operation process takes place in the abdominal cavity.
3
Inserting and fixating the mesh.
Advantages:
Minimal invasive
Attendance of bilateral hernias at the same time
through one incision
For large and recurrent hernias
TAPP is a tension free method, strengthening the posterior
wall of the inguinal canal and all potential hernia sites in
the groin with a laparoscopically placed polypropylene
mesh into the preperitoneal space.
The access is transabdominal, through abdominal cavity.
10
Reinforcement of the abdominal wall and closure
of the hernia opening from the proper side (where
the pressure comes from), thus enabling immediate
postoperative physical work load
TEP Technique
(Totally ExtraPeritoneal Technique)
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
1
A incision of 2 cm is made on the anterior rectus
sheath, off the midline (on the affected side). Using a
finger and blunt dissection, a tunnel is created and
the HERLOON single use ballon is inserted.
4
2
3
Dilatation under visual monitoring to create working
space between the abdominal wall and the peritoneum (HERLOON ballon).
Insert the visualization trocar with cone.
In this reparation method, a whole operation takes places outside the abdominal
cavity. A balloon trocar (e.g. Herloon system) is used to create a working space
between the abdominal wall and the peritoneum.
5
The posterior wall of inguinal canal is
strengthened with an endoscopically
placed polypropylene mesh between the
musculature of the abdominal wall and
the peritoneum.
The balloon trocar is then replaced by a trocar with a
special sealing cone (mini-laparotomy trocar).
The polypropylene mesh (e.g.: Optilene® Mesh LP) is
inserted.
Advantages:
Minimal invasive
Attendance of bilateral hernias at the same
time through one incision
Peritoneum won’t be incised
Avoid bowel ingury
11
Incisional and Umbilical Hernia
Description:
Treatment:
The other significant hernia types are the incisional and
the umbilical hernias.
There are three kinds of incisional and umbilical hernia
treatment with meshes:
Incisional hernias are caused by thinning or
stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery.
This weakened scar tissue then creates a weakness
in the abdominal wall. Because of this weakness,
the hernia can occur during abdominal strain.
Umbilical hernias develop in and around the area
of the umbilicus.
12
Onlay
Sublay
IPOM (IntraPeritoneal Onlay Mesh)
On the following page the description of these techniques
can be found.
Onlay Technique
The mesh is placed on the Rectus sheath
(abdominis) with open technique.
Sublay Technique
In this open or laparoscopic technique, the mesh
will be placed intraperitoneal.
IPOM
(IntraPeritoneal Onlay Mesh)
In this endoscopic hernia attendance, the mesh
will be placed intra-peritoneal onlay with transabdominal approach.
