[Diagnosis of hernia using peritoneography].
Peritoneography was performed in 1200 patients with ill-defined complaints concerning the abdominal wall, the groin or the pelvic floor. The purpose was to exclude or demonstrate the presence of a hernia. Amongst 750 patients, abnormalities were found in 53.5%. The examination was also carried out post-operatively in order to demonstrate possible recurrences which were not clinically obvious. Amongst 450 patients, a recurrence or a contra lateral hernia was demonstrated in 44%. These results show that a recurrence can only be demonstrated or excluded with certainty by means of peritoneography. The radiological examination is technically straightforward, can be carried out in a few minutes on an out patient basis and is simple for the patient.
