5.1 Introduction
Most inguinal and ventral hernias can be diagnosed using a thorough history and physical
examination. Patients are usually referred to a
surgeon for diagnosis conrmation and a discussion of treatment options. However, additional
diagnostic imaging may be necessary to identify
an occult hernia or to plan the operation. In this
case, the surgeon has many choices depending on
the hernia type or clinical problem and the information that is needed. In general, additional diagnostic tools include ultrasound, computed
tomography (CT) scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with other adjuncts for
inguinal hernias including herniography. Each
imaging modality has strengths and weaknesses.
Imaging choice is impacted by the local hospital
environment and radiology department.
5
5.2 History andPhysical
Patients with a hernia often complain of feeling a
bulge. In this case, the surgeon should conrm
hernia presence with a physical examination
(Fig.5.1). In some cases, an occult hernia (one
that is difcult to detect) is present. This can be

5.3 Diagnostic Tools forInguinal
Hernia
5.3.1 Imaging inInguinal Hernias
In most cases, a history of groin pain and an
obvious inguinal bulge are all that are required to
diagnose an inguinal hernia. In this case, the next
step is operative repair. Diagnosis is less clear
when there are no physical exam observations
consistent with inguinal hernia. An occult inguinal hernia can be too small to detect on physical
exam but can produce symptoms consistent with
a groin hernia such as a feeling of a bulge or
pain. Without physical exam evidence, imaging
is crucial in diagnosis, because there are many
causes of pain that should not be treated using
surgery.
5.3.2 Ultrasound
Ultrasound is usually the rst modality used to
diagnose occult inguinal hernias because it is easily accessible and relatively inexpensive. An ingui-
nal hernia ultrasound with and without Valsalva
maneuver (Fig.5.2), not a pelvic ultrasound, will
provide the best information for accurate diagnosis of an occult inguinal hernia. The patient can be
moved into different positions such as lying down
and standing which can often aid in diagnosis of
the hernia; as in some positions, the protrusion
through the hernia defect may be more pronounced
(Fig.5.3). Although the dynamic nature of ultrasound is a distinct benet, this characteristic also
makes its accuracy operator dependent.
Although ultrasound is the rst-line imaging
option for diagnosing an inguinal hernia, it is far
from perfect. A recent meta-analysis comprised
of ve ultrasound studies totaling 716 patients
showed that ultrasound had a sensitivity of 86%
and specicity of 77% [1]. Though these numbers may seem reasonable for diagnosis, two
recent studies reported that ultrasound has a low
positive predictive value after the patient is evaluated in the operating room. The rst study contained 116 patients who underwent surgery after
a positive ultrasound and yielded only a 74%
positive predictive value [2]. This correlated with
another study of 118 patients who at the time of

operation had a 70% positive predictive value for
presence of a hernia. The same study followed
141 patients with a negative groin ultrasound for
a median of 3years, and no patients were later
diagnosed with a hernia [3]. The most recent
study on the subject by Miller showed a sensitivity of 0.33 and specicity of 0.0 [4]. These data
indicate that ultrasound may be a better imaging
method to help rule out a hernia diagnosis than to
determine the need for surgery.
33
5.3.3 CT Scan
CT scan is also used to diagnose occult inguinal
hernias. It is widely available, and many surgeons
are accustomed to reading CT scans, which is not
the case with most other imaging options. A CT
scan facilitates evaluating the entire abdomen,
which can occasionally identify other causes of
pain or abnormalities. In a study comparing CT
and herniography, CT identied bone spurs as the
cause of pain in 2 of the 51 patients evaluated [5].
Despite these advantages, the usefulness of CT
for inguinal hernia diagnosis is very limited.
Studies using CT show a fairly low sensitivity and
specicity but a fairly high positive predictive
value for patients that undergo surgery. Recent
data on the subject showed a sensitivity of 0.54, a
specicity of 0.25, but a positive predictive value
of 86% in 39 patients who underwent CT and subsequent surgery [4]. Another study evaluated 158
patients with groin pain. In these patients, 49 hernias were diagnosed via CT, and the patients were
taken to surgery for evaluation and hernia repair.
This study showed a positive predictive value of
92% and a negative predictive value of 96% [6].
These data indicate that CT is not the best option
for the initial diagnosis of an occult hernia; however, when a hernia is identied on CT, the patient
can proceed to surgery for hernia repair.
Although CT may not be the best option for
the diagnosis of occult inguinal hernias, it can be
useful for inguinal hernias in certain clinical circumstances such as when other intra-abdominal
pathology is suspected or cases of difcult to
diagnose hernias such as femoral and obturator
hernias (Figs.5.4, 5.5, and 5.6).

5.3.4 MRI
MRI is useful in diagnosing occult inguinal hernias; however, it is not without disadvantages. It
is more expensive than ultrasound or CT and also
takes the most time to complete. Generally, surgeons are not as skilled at reading MRIs compared with reading CTs; however, MRI has
several benets. Like CT, MRI can be used to
evaluate the entire pelvis. Because of the ability
to closely assess the bones and soft tissues in the
pelvic region, MRI is useful to diagnose hernias
and other musculoskeletal etiologies for groin
pain (Figs.5.7 and 5.8).
There is increasing evidence that MRI should
be the initial study to evaluate suspected occult
inguinal hernias. A study by Miller compared the
use of CT, ultrasound, and MRI in 34 patients and
determined that MRI was the best option for
diagnosing occult inguinal hernias. The study
yielded a sensitivity and specicity of 0.91 and
0.92, respectively [4].
5.3.5 Herniography
Ducharne rst described herniography, also
known as peritoneography, in Canada in 1967
[7]. Herniography consists of injecting iodinated
contrast into the peritoneum and imaging the area
with X-ray or CT to evaluate possible hernia
defects. This imaging modality is the most invasive of the options discussed. Because this procedure is done with X-ray or CT, it exposes the
patient to radiation. Despite these negatives, it is
considered one of the most accurate tests used to
diagnose hernias; however, it is not widely used
probably because of the lack of comfort and
familiarity with the study both by surgeons and
by the radiology teams that would perform them

and the emergence of other more commonly used
modalities such as ultrasound, CT, and
MRI.Although invasive, herniography is a fairly
safe procedure. In a large review of 17 studies
including 1538 patients, only three patients had
complications that required hospital admission (a
0.19% major complication rate) [8]. Another retrospective study evaluated 117 herniographs performed at one hospital and identied no
complications recorded [9].
Multiple studies have shown that herniography is the most accurate imaging modality. A
large review by Robinson compiled data from 16
studies and convincingly supported using herniography more often to diagnosis occult hernias
compared with ultrasound and CT. The pooled
data showed a sensitivity of 91% and a specicity
of 83% for herniography, which was much higher
than the study’s ndings for CT scan [1].
5.3.6 Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Because diagnostic laparoscopy is an invasive
procedure, it should be very seldom used in the
diagnostic algorithm for inguinal hernias.
However, it is useful to evaluate for an occult hernia when imaging is non-conrmatory or cannot
be obtained. Diagnostic laparoscopy facilitates
identifying hernias and other intra-abdominal
pathology. Because female pelvic pain can be
related to gynecologic issues, it is sometimes
helpful to have an obstetrician/gynecologist
available for these cases.
5.4 Summary
andRecommendations
forDiagnostic Tools
inInguinal Hernia
Most inguinal hernias can be diagnosed using a
thorough history and physical examination. When
the patient feels a bulge that is not felt during a
clinical exam, an ultrasound is probably the most
useful initial test. When the patient’s symptoms
are not consistent with a hernia, no bulge is felt on
physical exam, or the surgeon suspects other gen-
eral surgical/intra-abdominal issues, a CT scan is
likely the best test to identify intra-abdominal
pathology. When there is concern for an occult
hernia, musculoskeletal injury/core muscle injury,
or pain related to previous hernia repair, an MRI
is likely the best option. An MRI should be done
using special protocols and should involve a radiologist comfortable with and interested in these
techniques/imaging modalities.
5.5 Diagnostic Tools forVentral
Hernia
The principal imaging modalities for the diagnosis of ventral and incisional hernias and preoperative planning for their repair are ultrasound, CT,
and MRI.Given their advantages and disadvantages, each has a role in specic clinical scenarios to produce favorable outcomes.
Ultrasound is the quickest, least expensive
technique for detecting small ventral or incisional
midline or lateral hernias. There were many different institution-based methods for the use of
ultrasound until 2013 when Beck etal. published
a standardized method called dynamic abdominal
sonography for hernia (DASH). In this study, the
DASH method achieved a sensitivity of 98% and
specicity of 88% [10]. This method uses a standard linear ultrasound probe and requires the user
to make ve vertical passes starting at the midline
and alternating laterally in parallel lines (Figs.5.9
and 5.10). In a subsequent study, the DASH
method was shown not only to have diagnostic
ability but also to accurately characterize hernias,
even very large defects (≥10cm in diameter) and
even in obese populations with an average BMI
of 39.2 kg/m2 [11]. Historically, ultrasound has
had several barriers to widespread use. One of the
primary issues was difculty in obtaining reliable
image quality for obese patients. The DASH
method may provide a solution to this problem
for certain obese patients. Ultrasound has many
benets and can be a quick and relatively costeffective way to diagnose smaller hernias; however, it still has not gained wide acceptance in the
preoperative planning of known hernias or in
patients with obese abdomens.

CT is the most widely used imaging modality
for the characterization of known ventral hernias
and has the benet of being a relatively quick
study that produces images with excellent image
quality for many different types of ventral hernias
Fig. 5.12 Computed tomography scan showing Spigelian
hernia
(Figs. 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, and 5.14). In contrast to
ultrasound, the images can characterize large
defects and can be used with severely, morbidly
obese patients. Preoperative planning has been
enhanced by CT measurements of ventral hernia
defect size and abdominal wall thickness, which
have been used to predict wound complications
and the need for component separation [12]. Prior
techniques on estimating the need for component
separation relied on hernia location, and unique
variabilities in the patient’s anatomy were not
considered. In a retrospective review of patients
who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction,
Franklin et al. demonstrated that CT could be
used to predict midline approximation using

abdominal wall defect ratios and hernia defect
areas [13]. The predictive value of CT imaging is
very important in preoperative planning to avoid
bridged repairs. A recent investigation into a
quantitative anatomical labeling protocol was
undertaken to predict the need for mesh bridge
closure and was able to more accurately predict
this than the metrics used in the European Hernia
Society Classication for Ventral Hernia
(EHSCVH) [14]. Calculating loss of domain is a
challenge for the preoperative assessment of ventral hernias. CT 3D reconstruction continues to
improve its predictive capacity and has been
shown to predict hernia area and volume, which
may contribute to more accurate preoperative risk
assessment of loss of domain and risk of abdominal compartment syndrome [15]. Unfortunately,
37
CT requires exposure to ionizing radiation; however, the excellent image quality and recent
advances in 3D reconstruction have facilitated
better characterization of large, complex hernias
and assessment of potential loss of domain while
attempting to avoid bridged repairs.
MRI has shown some utility in the assessment of patients with adhesions to mesh after
ventral hernia repairs and could be of value in
patients requiring complex mesh repairs when
explantation of mesh is being considered. MR
has been shown to detect adhesions between
both bowel and the abdominal wall in patients
who have a history of both laparoscopic and
open VHR [16]. Functional cine MRI has been
used to evaluate intra-abdominal adhesions and
preoperative planning for mesh explantation.
This method is used to detect “visceral slide” by
comparing images when the patient is at rest and
when performing the Valsalva maneuver.
Lienemann et al. demonstrated that when this
method was compared with intraoperative ndings in a group of 27 patients, the sensitivity was
87.5%, and the specicity was 92.5% [17]. In a
larger retrospective study enrolling 90 patients,
similar results were obtained in which the overall MRI accuracy was 89% [18]. While cine MR
has the benet of visualizing ePTFE mesh, it has
not been shown to adequately visualize polypropylene mesh [19]. There are benets in the
appropriation of MR in the analysis of complex
ventral hernias, patients with adhesions or
abdominal wall dysmotility, or when explantation of synthetic mesh is considered. However,
MRI should be used judiciously and should not
be used for routine classication of hernias due
to cost, length of exam, and marginal improvements in picture quality compared with CT.

P. Tenzel et al.
Table 5.1 is a list of advantages and disadvantages of the various diagnostic technologies.
Due to the complex nature of incisional hernias,
imaging is often warranted. The well-described
DASH technique gives the surgeon a reproducible and standardized way to use ultrasound for
diagnosing ventral/incisional hernias; however,
it hasn’t gained widespread acceptance. Because
of the many advantages associated with this
technique, we encourage surgeons to learn about
the DASH technique and to use this as a rstline diagnostic tool in appropriate patients when
the technology and training are available. CT
scanning is likely the most common imaging
tool for diagnosing ventral/incisional hernias,
because it not only helps with diagnosis but also
with operative planning and can help identify
other intra-abdominal pathology or previous
mesh in some cases. Another benet of CT is
that most surgeons are skilled in reading CTs.
Because of these advantages, for complex cases
or when ultrasound is not available, CT is likely
the best option. Although MRI has some indications for diagnosing ventral/incisional hernia,
unless your center/hospital/radiology department has a special interest in this technology, it
should be used rarely and only in special
circumstances.
Conclusion
Surgeons should understand the various imaging and diagnostic tools for inguinal and ventral/incisional hernias. Although history and
physical examination will most certainly be
the mainstay for diagnosis in most patients,
surgeons interested in hernia disease should
learn about new diagnostic technologies and
should become skilled in the DASH technique
and in reviewing imaging studies. Surgeons
should work closely with their local institutions and specically their radiology departments to successfully use these tools in
appropriate patients.
