Revisiting the role of herniography in the preoperative work-up of groin hernias?
Acta Chir Belg
March 2012
Department of Radiology, Heilig Hart Ziekenhuis Lier, Belgium.
Introduction: The diagnosis of groin hernia is based on clinical symptoms and physical examination. In the case of equivocal clinical findings, patients are often referred for subsequent diagnostic imaging. Accurate detection is important to minimize the inherent risk of complications or to avoid unnecessary surgery.

Objective: The objective of our study was to investigate the accuracy of sonography in patients with symptoms suggestive of a hernia and normal or equivocal clinical examination findings.
Subjects And Methods: Fifty-nine consecutive patients (47 men, 12 women; median age, 51 years; range, 19-82 years) were enrolled in a prospective study of sonography and herniography for investigation of inguinofemoral pain. All patients were referred with a history suggestive of hernia but with equivocal clinical features by three experienced surgeons.

Department of Radiology, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Oxford, OX3 9DZ, UK.
This prospective study examined the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing occult groin hernias in adults. The study included 52 consecutive patients reviewed in the surgical out-patient clinic with a history suggestive of groin hernia but with a normal or inconclusive clinical examination. Each patient underwent a preliminary ultrasound examination by an experienced consultant radiologist who was aware that the patient had a history suggestive of a hernia but was blinded to the side of the symptoms.

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, St. Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands.
The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the anatomy of the inguinal region, and to discuss the value of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis of groin hernias. After description of the gross anatomy of the groin, attention is focused on the anatomic features of conventional herniography, US, CT, and MRI. Advantages, disadvantages, and accuracy of each technique is discussed briefly.

October 1999
Department of Radiology, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK.
Background: The assessment of abdominal wall hernias has long been a clinical skill that only occasionally required the supplementary radiological assistance of herniography. However, with the advent of cross-sectional imaging, a new range of diagnostic tools is now available to help the clinician in difficult cases.
Methods: This review explores the ability of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate many of the hernias encountered in the anterior abdominal wall.
