ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF TRADITIONAL TREATMENT OF COMPLEX INGUINAL HERNIAS

Abstract

Complex inguinal hernias remain one of the most challenging issues in modern herniology. The lifetime risk of developing an inguinal hernia is 27–43% in men and 3–6% in women. Despite significant advances in surgical techniques, recurrence rates after primary hernioplasty range from 10% to 30%, while chronic postoperative pain occurs in 10–12% of patients. The introduction of minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques has substantially improved surgical outcomes; however, intraoperative and postoperative complications remain clinically relevant.
