Groin hernia repair is one of the most common general surgical procedures performed worldwide. Although only a small percentage will become incarcerated or strangulated, this is an indication for repair. Minimally invasive surgery is becoming the standard of care for most procedures, and we believe this to be a safe and feasible approach for incarcerated or strangulated groin hernias. We present a description of our recommended approach with technical details and accompanying video clips to highlight these techniques.

Aims This study aims to analyse the type of repair and post-op outcomes for individuals who underwent surgical intervention and presented with symptomatic abdominal wall hernia as an emergency. It highlights the importance of timely elective hernia management in lowering emergency presentations and any related complications. Background Abdominal wall hernias are common surgical conditions that can present electively or as emergencies, with emergency cases being associated with higher complication rates.

Article Synopsis
  • - Intestinal obstruction (IO) is a serious surgical issue mostly caused by adhesions, hernias, and tumors, and is linked to high rates of complications and death, particularly in men.
  • - A study over three years at a hospital in Somalia showed that most patients presented with symptoms like nausea and abdominal distension, requiring surgery for 95.1% of cases, with a notable rate of postoperative infections.
  • - The findings indicate that small bowel obstructions, mainly due to adhesions and hernias, are more common than large bowel obstructions, highlighting the need for urgent surgical intervention and more research for better treatment outcomes.
