title: [Connective tissue dysplasia as a reason of recurrent inguinal hernia].
abstract: The examination results of 78 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia revealed presence of systemic connective tissue abnormalities in addition to dysplasia of posterior wall of inguinal canal in 48 (61.6%) patients. Hernial disease was observed in 37 (47.4%) patients including umbilical hernia in 12 cases, femoral hernia in 8 patients, hiatal hernia in 3 patients and bilateral inguinal hernia in 14 cases. Group of other diseases included varicose veins of lower limbs in 15 (19.2%) patients, mitral valve prolapse in 3 (3.8%) patients, violation of skin elasticity (striae) in 6 (7.7%) cases, diverticulum of bladder in 2 (2.6%) patients, diverticulum of esophagus in 1 (1.3%) patient, diverticulosis of small intestine in 2 (2.6%) cases. Our data prove that inguinal hernia is local manifestation of systemic disease.
