INTRODUCTION Abnormal protrusion of viscus or a part of it through a weak point in the abdominal wall
ANATOMY OF INGUNAL REGION Superficial inguinal ring- triangular aperture in the aponeurosis of the ext oblique muscle . Lies 1.25 cm above the pubic tubercle. Normally it doesn’t admit the tip of the little finger. Deep inguinal ring – U shaped condensation of the fascia trasversalis Lies 1.25cm above the mid inguinal point.
INGUNAL CANAL Oblique passage in the lower part of the anterior abdominal wall. Extends from deep inguinal ring to superficial inguinal ring. Directed downwards forwards and medially About 4 cm long

OPERATION STEPS The patient is placed in the supine position. The groin is prepared in the usual fashion. After incising the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and external oblique aponeurosis (as usually), the spermatic cord is elevated from the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. In indirect hernias, the hernial sac is identified, dissected to the internal ring and opened to allow examination of its contents. The sac is ligated and its distal portion is usually excised.

OPERATION STEPS A polypropylene mesh is trimmed to fit the floor of the inguinal canal, and its apex is first sutured to the pubic tubercle The same continuous suture then sutures the lower border of the mesh to the free edge of the inguinal ligament, after an opening is made into its lower edge to accommodate the spermatic cord.

Critical steps Use large sheet of mesh 8 x 15 cm Observe overlaps 2 cm beyond pubic tubercle Cross the tails behind the spermatic cord Mesh secured with continous suture at the inguinal ligament and two interrupted sutures at the medial side Amid p, hernia 1998,2003 Open (Lichtenstein) Hernia Repair

Learning Curve Open (Lichtenstein) Hernia Repair
Conclusion: Lichtenstein repair for an indirect inguinal hernia reduces the risk of recurrence in young men between the age of 18 and 30 years compared with a sutured repair. The use of a Lichtenstein mesh repair in young males must be balanced against the risk of chronic pain. Open (Lichtenstein) Hernia Repair

4D Dome Composite Prosthesis
4D Dome Composite Prosthesis Advantages: Mesh structure gives maximum structural advantage Less Complication and reccurrences Reduce chronic pain Decrease the potential risk of infection Polypropylene mesh along with the three sizes of dome com- posite (10% polypropylene, 90% PLLA) that together make up the 4DDome® prosthesis. Leroy JL, Mutter D, Forgione A, Inoue H, Vix M, Bailey C, et al. The new 4DDome prosthesis: An original light and partially absorbable composite mesh for hernia repair. Hernia. 2006;10(5):401–8.
Operation Technique The operative technique involved conventional open The hernia sac was isolated by dissection and reduced. The dome-shaped, composite (10% polypropylene, 90% PLL A) component of the prosthesis system is available in three sizes (22, 30, and 38 mm). The one of best fit is inserted into the level of the defect and fixed by four interrupted absorbable sutures. The on-lay lightweight polypropylene was then placed to reinforce the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, with its limbs being placed around the spermatic cord at the level of the deep inguinal ring.
