Hernia of the Abdominal Wall

  • Chapter
Hernias and Surgery of the abdominal wall

Abstract

Since the work of Henri Fruchaud (1956), we have used the term inguinal hernias to include all hernias of the inguino-femoral region, the region that Fruchaud called “inguino-crural”. This concept arose from the fact that all of these hernias, which classically are divided into direct, indirect and femoral hernias, are caused by damage to the tranversalis fascia layer in the area of the myopectineal orifice. This region is known to be weak anatomically. The debate continues, and has recently became more active. Controversies concern the classification of hernias, over which there is no universal agreement, the indications for classical surgical procedures, the value of different laparoscopic procedures which still await proper evaluation, and the decisions regarding the general directions of hernia surgery. This is the most commonly performed surgery nowadays, and is thus of great social and economic importance.
