[Surgical treatment of incarcerated inguino-crural hernia with interposition of a preperitoneal prosthesis].
For the last four years, 17 inguinal and femoral strangulated hernias have been treated at our institution by a median subumbilical incision. In all cases, a prosthesis has been placed by preperitoneal approach. An intestinal resection for irreversible necrosis has been performed in five patients. This procedure gives good control of the herniated organs, allows easy intestinal resection and good management of unforeseeable situations. The surgical exploration of the other hernial orifices and, if needed, their simultaneous treatment can be performed. Intestinal resection does not represent, in our opinion, an absolute contra-indication to the implantation of a prosthesis. In our study, the morbidity does not seem to be increased.
