Risk of incarceration of inguinal hernia among infants and young children awaiting elective surgery.

2 Nov 2008 BACKGROUND: We determined the rate of incarceration of inguinal hernia among infants and young children waiting for elective surgery and examined the relation to wait times. We also explored the relation between wait times and the use of emergency ... Read more...

Effects of a perioperative smoking cessation intervention on postoperative complications: a randomized trial.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an intervention with smoking cessation starting 4 weeks before general and orthopedic surgery would reduce the frequency of postoperative complications. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Complications are a major concern ... Read more...

[Hernias as medical disease]

11 Oct 2008 Abnormal systemic collagen metabolism is thought to dispose to the development of hernias. Studies have shown that a reduced type-I/III collagen ratio predisposes to the development of hernias. Patient groups with reduced type-I/III collagen ratio ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hernia, Inguinal'

Definition: An abdominal hernia with an external bulge in the GROIN region. It can be classified by the location of herniation. Indirect inguinal hernias occur through the internal inguinal ring. Direct inguinal hernias occur through defects in the ABDOMINAL WALL (transversalis fascia) in Hesselbach's triangle. The former type is commonly seen in children and young adults; the latter in adults.
