[Strangulated inguinal hernia. Apropos of 138 cases in adults].
The following practical conclusions are based upon a study undertaken by the authors on a series of 138 strangulated groin hernias: the necessity of a basic medical education for rural population that will lead to treatment of hernias before complications as well as early treatment of complicated hernias; careful clinical examinations of the elderly patient in order to screen eventuel colic or rectal obstructions capable of creating symptomative strangulation; to adapt therapeutic attitude towards the location and extent of the lesion.
