Principles

Authoring team

The principles of inguinal hernia repair are:

  • meticulous technique to identify structures and ensure haemostasis
  • reform the normal anatomy as best possible
  • excise or reduce the hernial sac
  • only approximate similar structures e.g. aponeurosis to tendon
  • suture must retain its strength
  • repair the posterior wall of the canal
