[Herniography. A 3-year material from a central hospital].
Herniography is the roentgenographic demonstration of hernias in the pelvic region by positive contrast peritoneography. The main indication for herniography is obscure groin pain and the suspicion of a hernia not visible at clinical examination. In a review of the last 75 patients from 1991-93, 30 hernias and 18 other findings were demonstrated. 13 patients have been operated till now, and their results are presented. Only 5.6% of Norwegian hospitals perform ten or more herniographies a year. We find herniography to be a reliable and safe diagnostic method that should receive more attention.
