Current Guidelines in Hernia
(Abdominal) Surgery
Following factors are considered mandatory in Principle
of Hernia Repairs. These factors are very crucial in
successful healing of hernia without any complication.
The outcome of the surgery will be positive if these
guidelines are followed.
Hemostasis
Meticulous hemostasis is essential in any hernia surgery.
It prevents the formation of hematoma and serum
collection in dead space.
Perfect suturing and well approximation of tissues
in hernia is priceless. It helps to prevent formation of
hematoma. Chances of hematoma formation is more
with inguinal hernia operated under local anesthesia.
Suction drains of closed type should be inserted in
hernias like incisional, umbilical, epigastric, hiatus which
prevents the formation of seroma and hematoma . ese
surgeries for hernia involve the excessive dissection, so
it is wise policy to incorporate use of drains.
Infection
A strict aseptic procedure should be followed for hernia
surgery as the infection is detrimental for the healing
of hernia. Infection reduces the healing of hernia and
increases chances of recurrence. Infected status of postoperative hernia patient may lead to re-exploration and
removal of mesh prosthesis.
While operating any hernia, one should apply adhesive
film to abdomen to prevent translocation of microorganisms.
Wound Repair
Phases of Wound Healing
e entire wound healing process is a complex series
of events that begins at the moment of injury and can
continue for months to years. is overview will help in
identifying the various stages of wound healing.
Inammatory Phase
• Immediateto2to5days
• Hemostasis
– Vasoconstriction
– Platelet aggregation
– romboplastin makes clot.
• Inammation
– Vasodilation
– Phagocytosis.
Proliferative Phase

• Granulation
– Fibroblasts lay bed of collagen
– Fills defect and produces new capillaries.
• Contraction

months.First70% repair andremodelingtakes place
in the first six months and the remaining process is
completedin nextsixmonths. A totalof 80%strength
of aponeurosis is achieved at the end of one year from
date of hernia surgery ; as long as there are no oending
causes of delayed wound healing.
Suturing Materials
A nonabsorbable, monolament polypropylene, stainless
steel suture is supposed to be the best for hernia repairs
and tissue approximation till today.
Absorbable suture materials have risk of losing
strengthoverthe periodof time andhazardsinto
recurrence of hernia.
The suture material used for reconstruction of
anatomy in hernia surgery should be as strong as the
tissues to be sutured. e interval for loss of strength
of suture material should be longer than the interval of
loss of strength of tissue. By the time tissue loses strength
and suture material also there should be enough time to
strengthen the repair.
Placement of Prosthetic Mesh
Suggested locations for placing mesh in hernia surgery:
1. Extra-aponeurotic/subcutaneous
2. Subaponeuroticandextraperitoneal
3. Subaponeurotic and intraperitoneal
4. For laparoscopic repair—subaponeurotic plane.

Anesthesia for Hernia Repairs
ere are many choices for anesthesia in hernia surgery
today. Surgeon is in position to decide the type of
anesthesia for hernia repairs. ere are many types of
anesthesias used today for dierent types of hernia. Every
hernia in a patient is dierent so as the anesthesia.
Anesthesia Used in Hernia Repairs
1. General
2. Spinal
3. Epidural
4. Local
5. Blocks.
Categorywise choice of method of anesthesia is done
for safety of the patient, like an epigastric hernia would
require a general anesthesia, incisional hernia will
require a general anesthesia, strangulated inguinal
hernia requires a general anesthesia. While umbilical,
femoral, inguinal, spigelian hernias can be performed
under local, spinal, epidural anesthesia.
General, Spinal, Epidural, Local Anesthesia are
Best Suited for Hernia Repairs
More and more specialized hernia centers worldwide
are employing local anesthesia in hernia surgery which
is easy and cost-eective. It reduces the hospitalization
time. Here, we will see special local anesthesia technique
for hernias amenable to local anesthesia like femoral,
inguinal, umbilical, spigelian, etc.
e description about general, regional anesthesia is
beyond scope of this book.
Local Anesthesia for
Hernias (Inguinal)
Introduction
Many practitioners and institutions routinely and
successfully employ local anesthesia for inguinal hernia
repairs. Although there are certainly other options
(including general anesthesia and regional anesthesia
such as spinal or epidural), local oers some unique
advantages to the patient. As such, here is a short
summary about the use of local for these operations
including a discusssion of advantages and disadvantages.
Obviously, the choice of anesthesia will be inuenced
by patient preferences and needs. In addition, to complete
any operation successfully under local anesthesia
requires a surgeon who is comfortable with the technique
and willing to stop surgery and place additional local
anesthesia should this become necessary. Interestingly
with inguinal hernia repair, it is rarely, if ever, necessary
to supplement with additional injections once the initial
inltration is complete. Reported experiences with it have
been uniformly positive.
Advantages of Local Anesthesia
Minimal physiological disturbance which may be an
advantage in the patient in whom you wish to avoid a
general anesthetic and in whom a regional technique
may be contraindicated. is could include patient’s
with serious cardiac or respiratory diseases which could
tolerate other types of anesthesia but would be at reduced
risk if given only local anesthesia.

Hernia Surgery Simplied
Postoperative pain relief is another benet injection
with a mixture of lidocaine and bupivacaine which gives
quick anesthesia but long-lasting pain relief following the
operation.
The primary advantage is quick recovery and
ambulation allowing a quick discharge of ambulatory
surgery patients to home.
Disadvantages of Local Anesthesia
Surgery on the awake patient must be carried out gently
and the surgeon must be willing to adapt both technique
and pace to the needs of the patient. Incisional pain is
usually blocked. However, some pressure sensation and
traction on tissues, particularly the peritoneum, can be
uncomfortable for the patient. e patient should be
warned about these possibilities and be told that the
operation may be slightly uncomfortable at times but
should not be painful. Obviously careful patient selection,
proper informed consent, and preoperative patient
education are very important.
Some sedation during the operation may be required
for anxious patients which loses some of the benets
of avoiding other anesthetic techniques in higher risk
patients. Again utilize this technique on relatively
healthy, ambulatory patients. In this population, the
addition of small amounts of sedation, especially with
the shorter acting agents available today, does not delay
discharge. Patients, who are excessively nervous may
not be suitable for surgery with this technique. Almost
always, these patients can be identified during preoperative interview, but always take consent of patients
for regional and general techniques as backup anesthetic
methods just in case.
Local Anesthetic Agents
Several anesthetic agents may be used including
lignocaine, bupivacaine. Lignocaine acts more quickly
than bupivacaine but wears o more rapidly. Careful
attention should be paid to the maximum doses of the
local anesthetic agent that can be used. Plain lignocaine
0.5% or 1% lignocaine with adrenaline 1:200,000 or plain
0.25% bupivacaine are satisfactory.
Technique
The patient should be weighed preoperatively and
the maximum permissable volume of local anesthetic
calculated. Resuscitation equipment must be available
in case the patient develops a reaction to the local
anesthetic and a cannula inserted into a vein.
Explain to the patient that since the operation will be
carried out under a local anesthetic they will not feel pain
but that some sensation of touch and perhaps pulling
will remain. Reassure the patient that if they experience
any discomfort it can easily be remedied by the surgeon
injecting some more local anesthetic.
As the skin is being prepared for surgery explain to the
patient what is happening as he may be aware of the
sensation. If possible, place a surgical towel so that the
patient cannot see the operation site.
The patient must be observed throughout the
procedure by a trained attendant. e pulse should be
monitored and the blood pressure checked regularly.
Nervous patients may enjoy talking quietly to a nurse,
who will be able to inform the surgeon if the patient
is in any discomfort. e surgeon should avoid asking
the patient if he can feel anything, but rather ask if he is
comfortable.
Local inltration can be performed on virtually any
inguinal hernia, but it is usually reserved for patients of
average weight with a primary unilateral hernia. Surgery
for recurrent hernias, bilateral hernias, and hernias in
obese patients are generally performed with either a
subarachnoid or epidural block. e local anesthetic
is usually a combination of a rapid-acting anesthetic,
such as lidocaine, and a longer-acting agent, such
as bupivacaine, which also provides several hours of
postoperative pain relief.
Addition of sodium bicarbonate to buffer local
instillation decreases the pain at the injection site and
accelerates the onset of the anesthetic eect. Addition of
epinephrine may provide some hemostasis and prolong
the eects of local anesthetics. Many surgeons, however,
prefer to observe bleeding points at the time of surgery,
rather than risk a postoperative hematoma, when the
eects of the epinephrine wear o.
Anatomy
e nerve supply to inguinal and femoral herniae comes
from the anterior branches of the six lower intercostal
nerves which continue forward on to the anterior
abdominal wall accompanied by the last thoracic
(subcostal) nerve. e iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal
nerves (T12 and L1) supply the lower abdomen. ey
are blocked by an injection of local anesthetic between
internal and external oblique muscles just medial to the

anterior superior iliac spine. e genitofemoral nerve
(L1,2) supplies inguinal cord structures and the anterior
scrotum via its genital branch and supplies the skin and
subcutaneous tissues of the femoral triangle via the
femoral branch.
e local anesthesia should:
1. Produce skin anesthesia in the line of the incision.
is is best achieved by injecting local anesthetic
subcutaneously in the line of the incision.
2. Block the nerve supply to the deeper tissues which
are to be dissected and manipulated.
3. Produce anesthesia of the parietal peritoneum of
the hernia and especially the neck of the sac which
is very sensitive.
Method—Step-by-Step (Figs 9.1 and 9.2)
1. Identify the anterior superior iliac spine and the
pubic tubercle. From a point 2 cm above and medial
to the anterior superior iliac spine inject 5 to 10
ml of local anesthetic under the external oblique
aponeurosis in a fanwise fashion.
2. You may feel a ‘click’ as the needle pierces the
aponeurosis. Now, inject under the aponeurosis
from just lateral to the pubic tubercle, 5 ml towards
the umbilicus and 5 ml laterally.
3. Wait a short-time and then inltrate subcutaneously
in the line of the incision. Allow time for the
anesthetic to take eect before starting the operation.

Complications
ese are much more likely to occur if local anesthetic
is injected whilst the tip of the needle is in vein. Always,
therefore keep the needle tip moving when inltrating
large volumes of local anesthetic.
If the block proves inadequate for surgery consider
converting to a general anesthetic. Sometimes sedation
with small doses of an intravenous opiate will help.
If traction is applied to the hernial sac without
adequate anesthesia, the patient may feel faint and
become bradycardic. is is best treated by interrupting
the surgery, inltrating more local anesthetic and giving
some intravenous atropine if required.
If bupivacaine is being used, the block will take longer
to develop compared with lignocaine. Some surgeons
prefer to inject bupivacaine before putting on their gown
and gloves and draping the patient. is gives extra time
for the block to develop.
Toxicity of Local Anesthetic Agents
Local anesthetic agents are relatively free from side
effects if they are administered in an appropriate
dosage and in the correct anatomical location. However,
systemic and localized toxic reactions may occur, usually
from the accidental intravascular or intrathecal injection,
or the administration of an excessive dose of the local
anesthetic agent. Systemic reactions to local anesthetics
involve primarily the central nervous system (CNS) and
the cardiovascular system.
e initial symptoms of CNS toxicity involve feelings of
light-headedness, dizziness and circumoral paresthesia
which may precede visual and/or auditory disturbances
such as difficulty focusing and tinnitus (ringing in
the ears). Other subjective CNS symptoms include
disorientation and feelings of drowsiness.
Objective signs of CNS toxicity are usually excitatory
in nature and include shivering, muscular twitching
and tremors initially involving muscles of the face and
distal parts of the extremities. Ultimately, generalized
convulsions of a tonic-clonic nature occur. If a suciently
large dose, or rapid intravenous injection of local
anesthetic is given, the initial signs of excitation may
progress very rapidly to generalized CNS depression and
coma. Respiratory depression may result in respiratory
arrest.
CNS toxicity is exacerbated by hypercarbia and
acidosis.
Cardiovascular toxicity usually occurs at doses and
blood concentrations which are higher than those
required to produce CNS toxicity. Local anesthetics can
exert a direct eect both on the heart and the peripheral
blood vessels. Extremely high concentrations of local
anesthetics depress spontaneous pacemaker activity
in the sinus node resulting in sinus bradycardia and
sinus arrest. ey also exert a dose-dependent negative
inotropic action on isolated cardiac tissue.

e more potent local anesthetics depress cardiac
The Clinical Advantage
The clinical advantages of local anesthesia include the decreased blood ooze
when local anesthec soluon with adrenaline is employed, the prolonged
analgesia provided without any central eects, enhanced denion of
ssue planes aorded by the hydrodynamic dissecon by local anesthec

contractility at lower concentrations than the less potent
drugs.
Local anesthetic agents appear to exert a biphasic
eect on peripheral vascular smooth muscle (Table 9.1).
In lower doses they may increase peripheral vascular
resistance, and in higher doses, reduce it. Cocaine
is the only anesthetic that causes vasoconstriction
consistently because of its ability to inhibit the reuptake
of noradrenaline by storage granules at the synapse. e
excess concentration of free circulating noradrenaline is
responsible for the vasoconstriction associated with the
use of cocaine. In general, a direct relationship exists
between the anesthetic potency and cardiovascular
depressant potential of the various agents. e more
potent drugs, e.g. bupivacaine and etidocaine, have been
reported to cause rapid and profound cardiovascular

depression in some patients following accidental
intravascular injection.
Severe cardiac arrhythmias such as resistant
ventricular brillation may occur.
Local anesthesia has considerable advantages over
regional or general anesthesia in the repair of groin
hernia.
