Inguinal hernia is probably one of the most common surgical conditions, with strangulation accounting for a good number of acute surgical admissions. It has always been known that direct hernias are less likely to strangulate due to wide hernial defects in comparison to indirect hernia. For that reason, some surgeons do not attempt repair of direct hernias in elderly patients. We present a relatively uncommon case of a 58-year-old gentleman who presented with clinical signs of an incarcerated inguinal hernia; which was found at exploration to be a strangulated direct hernia with small bowel perforation. We believe that direct inguinal hernia should always be included in the differential diagnosis of incarcerated or strangulated groin hernia.

Background: Transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair using the da Vinci Single-Port robot (SP-TAPP) is currently performed in few centers. We aimed to define the learning curve for SP-TAPP by analyzing operative times.
Methods: The operative times of 122 SP-TAPP performed between 2019 and 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

To optimize the efficacy of analgesia for patients receiving laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, peri-operative pain neuroscience education (PNE) as a pain-specific cognitive therapy was incorporated into multi-modal analgesia. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare conventional analgesia (group CA) and the addition of pain neuroscience education into it (group PNE) in patients receiving laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Characteristics of peri-operative pain was evaluated with Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire (DN-4), central sensitization inventory (CSI), pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) post-operatively and pressure pain threshold.

Background: The history of inguinal hernia repair has been marked by the description of several therapies over ages, each with its own approach to managing the hernial sac. An analysis of hernia sac transection (with or without high ligation) versus reduction (invagination) in adults who underwent Lichtenstein open tension-free inguinal hernia repair and in adult and pediatric patients who underwent suture repair has been the primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: The authors conducted a comprehensive review and meta-analysis.
