[How should acute complications of inguinal hernias in adults be treated?].
The frequency of hernia strangulation seems relatively low in developed countries and seems to be declining in parallel with the development of elective hernia surgery. The seriousness of the disorder to a large extent justifies the indication for surgery in cases of noncomplicated hernia. When strangulation occurs, rapid diagnosis and treatment, before necrosis sets in, is the first imperative to guarantee that progression is uneventful.
