1 Hernia Treatment To the Future Together Hernia Repair

2 2

3 Hernia Repair is the most frequent procedure in general surgery of the abdominal area. The treatment of hernias is therefore for every surgeon and hospital of utmost medical and economical importance. Through the history of hernia treatment there have been many new techniques and innovations, but there is still space for further developments and improvements. It is a must to develop always better materials to improve the convenience of the patient and to further lower the recurrence rates. Many studies show that the use of new mesh implants can reduce the rate of recurrency in hernia treatment. The future lies in the well-tested and established hernia methods with the new implants and materials. The usable sutures and implants in hernia surgery has to meet special quality requirements. To keep this quality it s necessary to have commitment in a new research and development. B. Braun plays a leading role in innovations due to the research and development in all fields of medical surgery. Innovation is the only way to the future and that s why the contact with the surgeons is really important to us. Only with the help of them we can act to the new needs. Our secret of success is a philosophy of Sharing Expertise. B. Braun offers a dialogue to go to the future together! 3

4 Inguinal Hernia Description: A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal wall weaken then bulge or tear. The inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area to form a sac. Treatment: Nowadays the treatment method for the inguinal hernia is a small operation, which is one of the most common operations performed by surgeons. There are several types of hernia, but the most important are: Inguinal hernias Umbilical hernias Incisional hernias Femoral hernias There are two kinds of operation of the inguinal hernias: Open repair Without mesh: Bassini, Shouldice Tension free method with mesh: Lichtenstein Endoscopic repair with meshes TAPP, TEP The most common hernia type is the inguinal hernia, which has two types: Indirect - a protrusion through the internal inguinal ring passes along the inguinal canal through the abdominal wall. This is the more common form accounting for 80 %. Direct - hernia protrudes directly through the abdominal wall into inguinal canal. Experience shows that the use of the mesh reduces the recurrence rate. According to the new researches the ideal pore size guarantees, that the mesh won t cause discomfort for the patients. All of Aesculap products fit to these new needs. Our main aim is to give a short description about these techniques, and what kind of tools, sutures and implants are recommended for the techniques. 4

5 Hernia Preparation Open Hernia Repair Skin incision. Splitting of the Externusaponeurose. Protection of the nerves. 4 5 Preparation of the Musculus cremaster. Preparation of the herina sac. The preparation of the hernia is an important step and the following techniques are based on the approach explanation of this page. 5

6 Bassini Technique Open Reparation of Inguinal Hernias The inguinal canal after ligation and resection of the hernial sac. Starting the suture near the pubic crest. Loose stitches comprising the inguinal ligament, transversalis fascia, transverses abdominis muscle and internal oblique muscle. 4 5 A series of suture lines is used to reinforce the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and narrow the internal inguinal ring by the triple layer (transversalis fascia, transverses abdominis muscle and internal oblique muscle) is sutured to the inguinal ligament. Advantages: Finished repair. Closure of external oblique aponeurosis. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia Can be performed in growing patients, pregnant women and women who may become pregnant 6

7 Shouldice Technique Open Reparation of Inguinal Hernias First line of suture Second line of suture Opening the transversalis fascia at the level of the inguinal canal. Pubic crest deep inguinal ring pubic crest. This running suture approximates the iliopubic tract to the aponeurosis of the transverses abdominis muscle, including the transversalis fascia. Deep inguinal ring pubic crest deep inguinal ring. This running suture approximates the internal oblique muscle to the inguinal ligament. Closure of external oblique aponeurosis. Unlike Bassini s all layer interrupted suture, the Shouldice approach to repairing the posterior wall of the inguinal canal begins at the level of the transversalis fascia. The transversalis fascia is divided parallel to the inguinal ligament, and a double layer of transversalis fascia is sutured to the inguinal ligament, using continuous suture lines. This is reinforced by an additional continuous double layer of low-tension suture which is placed between the internal oblique muscle and the lower part of the inguinal ligament. Advantages: The operation can be performed under local anesthesia Double layer low-tension suture 7

8 Lichtenstein Technique Open Tension Free Method Mesh fixation to the inguinal ligament. Mesh fixation to the inguinal ligament. Mesh fixation to the internal oblique muscle. Spermatic cord is placed between the two tails of the mesh. 5 6 The lower edges of the two tails are sutured to the inguinal ligament to create a new initernal ring comprised of mesh. Closure of external oblique aponeurosis. In this procedure, which uses a conventional anterior approach, a polypropylene mesh is implanted between the external aponeurosis and the internal oblique muscle to form a strong posterior wall of the inguinal canal. Technique: The medial end of the mesh is cut to the shape of the medial corner of the inguinal canal (Optilene Pre-shaped Mesh can also be used). The rounded corner is sutured, with a nonabsorbable monofilamented suture material, to the anterior rectus sheath above the pubic bone and overlapping the rectus sheath by 1 to 1.5 cm. This suture is continued to attach the lower edge of the mesh to the inguinal ligament up to a point just lateral to the internal ring. A slit is made at the lateral end of the mesh, creating two tails. The upper edge of the mesh is sutured in place with two interrupted absorbable sutures, one to the rectus sheth and the other to the internal oblique aponeurosis just lateral to the internal ring. Using a single nonabsorbable monofilamented suture the lower edges of each of the completion knot of the lower running suture. This creates a new internal ring made of mesh. Advantages: Tension free The operation can be performed under local anesthesia 8

9 Plug Technique Tension Free Method (Rutkow Robbins) Placing the plug at the deep inguinal ring. Inserting and fixing the plug in the deep inguinal ring. Placement of a reinforcement mesh in the inguinal canal that through an aperture allows passage of the spermatic cord. This opening in the mesh is sutured. The rest of the mesh is left unfixed. In this open tension free treatment the hernia sac is pushed back to abdominal cavity with a Premilene Mesh Plug and the defect is filled perfectly. Due to the unique technique, the use of the plug is simple. The plug is applied following the PIS technique (Position, Insert, Stabilize). Advantage: The operation can be performed under local anesthesia 9

10 TAPP Technique (TransAbdominal PrePeritoneal) Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Creating the peritoneal flap. Dissecting the hernia sac. Inserting and fixating the mesh. During this hernia treatment, the posterior wall of inguinal canal will be strengthened with an endoscopically placed polypropylene mesh between the musculature of the abdominal wall and the peritoneum through a transabdominal entrance. The operation process takes place in the abdominal cavity. TAPP is a tension free method, strengthening the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and all potential hernia sites in the groin with a laparoscopically placed polypropylene mesh into the preperitoneal space. The access is transabdominal, through abdominal cavity. Advantages: Minimal invasive Attendance of bilateral hernias at the same time through one incision For large and recurrent hernias Reinforcement of the abdominal wall and closure of the hernia opening from the proper side (where the pressure comes from), thus enabling immediate postoperative physical work load 10

11 TEP Technique (Totally ExtraPeritoneal Technique) Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair A incision of 2 cm is made on the anterior rectus sheath, off the midline (on the affected side). Using a finger and blunt dissection, a tunnel is created and the HERLOON single use ballon is inserted. Dilatation under visual monitoring to create working space between the abdominal wall and the peri - toneum (HERLOON ballon). Insert the visualization trocar with cone. 4 5 In this reparation method, a whole operation takes places outside the abdominal cavity. A balloon trocar (e.g. Herloon system) is used to create a working space between the abdominal wall and the peritoneum. The balloon trocar is then replaced by a trocar with a special sealing cone (mini-laparotomy trocar). The polypropylene mesh (e.g.: Optilene Mesh LP) is inserted. The posterior wall of inguinal canal is strengthened with an endoscopically placed polypropylene mesh between the musculature of the abdominal wall and the peritoneum. Advantages: Minimal invasive Attendance of bilateral hernias at the same time through one incision Peritoneum won t be incised Avoid bowel ingury 11

12 Incisional and Umbilical Hernia Description: The other significant hernia types are the incisional and the umbilical hernias. Treatment: There are three kinds of incisional and umbilical hernia treatment with meshes: Incisional hernias are caused by thinning or stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery. This weakened scar tissue then creates a weakness in the abdominal wall. Because of this weakness, the hernia can occur during abdominal strain. Umbilical hernias develop in and around the area of the umbilicus. Onlay Sublay IPOM (IntraPeritoneal Onlay Mesh) On the following page the description of these techniques can be found. 12

13 Onlay Technique The mesh is placed on the Rectus sheath (abdominis) with open technique. Sublay Technique In this open or laparoscopic technique, the mesh will be placed intraperitoneal. IPOM (IntraPeritoneal Onlay Mesh) In this endoscopic hernia attendance, the mesh will be placed intra-peritoneal onlay with trans - abdominal approach. 13
