From 2 per cent to 5 per cent of all indirect inguinal hernias are of the sliding variety. (Sliding hernias are those in which part of the wall of the sac is formed by a viscus.) The proportion of sliding hernias is even higher in the aged. Hernias of this kind are found almost exclusively in males and usually on the left side. Preoperative diagnosis is not essential if the surgeon can recognize the lesion at operation and knows how to repair it properly. The LaRoque technique in which the peritoneal cavity is entered above the internal ring allows accurate definition of the pathological anatomy and effective repair of the hernia. It should be used in all true sliding indirect inguinal hernias.

December 2024
Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 5 Jingyuan Road, Shijingshan District, Beijing, 100043, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To compare the long-term outcomes of porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) mesh and polypropylene (PP) mesh after an laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.
Background: Mesh-based surgical techniques for inguinal hernia repair are recommended in the guidelines due to the lower rate of recurrence. Biologic meshes (BMs) may have advantages in terms of chronic pain due to the different postoperative remodeling, without the disadvantages of a permanent implant.
