RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This prospective multicentre study assessed the safety and effectiveness of stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) for treatment of obstructive defaecation syndrome (ODS). METHODS: Between February 2001 and June 2006, 104 patients diagnosed with ODS were treated with STARR. Follow-up was scheduled for 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery, and annually thereafter. Variables related to the patient, surgical technique and outcome were analysed. RESULTS: Mean operating time was 46.7 min. Haemorrhage at the staple line occurred in 55 patients (52.9 per cent). Three patients required surgical revision in the first 48 h owing to persistent bleeding. The median postoperative pain score was 2.4 on a scale from 1 to 10. Mean hospital stay was 2.2 days. The mean constipation score improved from 13.5 before surgery to 5.1 at 1-year follow-up (P = 0.006). Twenty-three patients reported faecal incontinence at 4 weeks after surgery, but only nine still had minor residual incontinence by 1 year. At a median follow-up of 26 (range 12-72) months, ODS had recurred or persisted radiologically and/or clinically in 11 patients. CONCLUSION: STARR is associated with low morbidity and a short hospital stay, and is an effective alternative treatment for ODS.

RESUMO

Presentamos nuestra experiencia inicial en el tratamiento de laincontinencia fecal (IF) mediante neuromodulación de raíces sacras(NRS), a través de los resultados de un estudio prospectivo realizadocon 26 pacientes en el que se comparan los valores basales enla escala de continencia de Wexner-Cleveland y en la capacidadpara el retraso de la defecación, con los obtenidos tras un año deterapia con NRS. El estudio inicial de cada paciente incluía anamnesis,exploración general, ecografía y manometría rectal, así comounos diarios de continencia y de calidad de vida específicos para laIF de 3 semanas. Antes de la terapia con NRS, el valor medio en laescala Wexner-Cleveland fue de 15,00 ± 1,81 y el 62,50% de lospacientes tenía una capacidad de retraso de la defecación menorde 1 minuto. Tras un año de terapia con NRS, el valor medio en laescala de Wexner-Cleveland fue de 4,87 ± 2,54 (p = 0,0031) y el75,01% de los pacientes presentaba una capacidad de retraso defecatoriomayor de 15 minutos (p = 0,0018). Hacemos, además,una descripción detalla de la técnica quirúrgica de la NRS, haciendoreferencia a sus indicaciones y finalizamos revisando las distintasopciones terapéuticas para la IF mostrando nuestro algoritmo terapéuticopara esta patología. La NRS es una técnica eficaz para eltratamiento de la IF en pacientes seleccionados que no han respondidoa tratamiento conservador, biofeedback o correcciones anatómicas(esfinteroplastia), con una mínima morbilidad y susceptible derealizarse en un programa de cirugía ambulatoria


We present our initial experience in the treatment of fecal incontinence (FI) with sacral root neuromodulation (SRN) by reporting the results of a prospective study with 26 patients where baselineWexner-Cleveland scale scores and ability to delay defecationwere compard to results after one year with SRN. The initial studyof patients included history taking, general examination, anal ultrasonography,and manometry, and a three-week diary of continenceand quality of life specific for FI was used. Before SRN themean baseline Wexner-Cleveland score was 15.00 ± 1.81, and62.50% of patients could only delay defecation for less than aminute. After a year with NRS the mean Wexner-Cleveland scorewas 4.87 ± 2.54 (p = 0.0031), and 75.01% of patients could delaydefecation above fifteen minutes (p = 0.0018). We also describethe surgical technique and its indications, and finally reviewthe various therapeutical options for FI and show our algorithmfor this condition. SRN is an effective technique for the treatmentof FI in properly selected patients with no response to medicaltherapies (including biofeedback) or anatomic correction (sphincteroplasty),with efficacy, little morbidity, and a short hospital stay

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: performing anal endosonography in complex fistula-in-ano allows us to design a personalized surgical strategy in each case, thereby improving results. However, there are doubts in the literature as to its utility in recurrent complex fistulas. The aim of this study was to compare the utility of anal ultrasonography in the study of primary versus recurrent complex fistula-in-ano. PATIENTS AND METHOD: prospective study of patients diagnosed and treated for complex fistula-in-ano. Physical examination and anal ultrasonography provided data on primary track, internal opening, horseshoe extension and the presence of secondary tracks or cavities in a protocol designed specifically for the study. These assessments were subsequently contrasted with operative findings. RESULTS: we included 35 patients, 19 (54.3%) with primary complex anal fistulas and 16 (45.7%) with recurrent fistulas. According to the operative findings, fistulas were classified as high transsphincteric in 28 patients (80%), suprasphincteric in 6 (17.1%) and extrasphincteric in one patient (2.9%), with no differences between groups. Physical examination correctly classified 28 of the 35 fistulous tracks, in contrast to the 32 (91.4%) correctly described on ultrasonography (80%). We did not find any statistically significant differences between the primary and the recurrent fistula groups with regard to sensibility, positive predictive value and accuracy of the anal ultrasonography for any of the parameters studied. CONCLUSION: the accuracy of anal ultrasonography does not decrease in recurrent complex fistula-in-ano.

RESUMO

Introducción: la realización de la ecografía endoanal en la fístulacompleja permite diseñar una estrategia quirúrgica personalizadaen cada caso, mejorando los resultados. Sin embargo, existendudas en la literatura acerca de su utilidad en fístulascomplejas recidivadas. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar lautilidad de la ecografía endoanal en el estudio de fístulas perianalescomplejas primarias versus recidivadas.Pacientes y método: estudio prospectivo de pacientes diagnosticadose intervenidos de fístula anal compleja. La exploraciónfísica y ecografía endoanal recogieron los datos relativos al trayectoprincipal, orificio interno, extensión en herradura y presenciade otros trayectos o cavidades en un protocolo elaborado para elestudio. Dichos datos se contrastaron posteriormente con los hallazgosintraoperatorios.Resultados: incluimos 35 pacientes, 19 (54,3%) con fístulascomplejas primarias y 16 (45,7%) con fístulas recidivadas. Deacuerdo a los hallazgos intraoperatorios, las fístulas fueron clasificadascomo transesfinteriana alta en 28 pacientes (80%), supraesfinterianaen 6 (17,1%) y extraesfinteriana en un paciente (2,9%),sin diferencias entre ambos grupos. La exploración física clasificócorrectamente 28 de los 35 trayectos fistulosos (80%), frente a los32 (91,4%) correctamente descritos por la ecografía. No encontramosdiferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el grupo defístulas primarias y el de recidivadas en cuanto a la sensibilidad,valor predictivo positivo y fiabilidad de la ecografía endoanal paraninguno de los parámetros estudiados.Conclusión: el poder diagnóstico de la ecografía endoanal no disminuyeen el estudio de las fístulas perianales complejas recidivadas

RESUMO

Se presenta el caso de una mujer con anemia y rectorragias ocasionales, cuyo estudio objetivó una masa intestinal estenosante que finalmente resultó ser una endometriosis intestinal (EI). Realizamos además, una revisión de la enfermedad en la que se subraya la dificultad del diagnóstico prequirúrgico, dada la multitud de posibles cuadros clínicos que puede simular, y muchos de ellos son tributarios de cirugía. Resaltamos la importancia de la sospecha de EI en el diagnóstico diferencial ante toda paciente en edad fértil que curse con masa intestinal, y es necesario investigar en la anamnesis acerca de una posible sintomatología ginecológica concomitante. Para el correcto manejo y enfoque terapéutico de la EI diagnosticada prequirúrgicamente, es necesaria una cooperación adecuada entre los servicios de ginecología y cirugía general, teniendo en cuenta la afectación clínica de la paciente y la proximidad de la edad de ésta a la menopausia. Las opciones terapéuticas disponibles actualmente son: la administración de análogos de la hormona liberadora de gonadotropinas (GnRH) y la resección del segmento afectado por el endometrioma con adecuados márgenes de seguridad para evitar recidivas locales. Recientemente, se ha demostrado que el tratamiento neoadyuvante con análogos de GnRH facilita la cirugía en los casos programados de EI (AU)


We present the case of a woman with anemia and occasional rectorrhagia who was discovered to have an intestinal stricturing mass that was revealed to be an intestinal endometrioma. We provide a review of the literature on the topic and emphasize the difficulty of presurgical diagnosis because of the multitude of clinical presentations that this disease can simulate, many of which are suitable for surgical treatment. We stress the importance of including intestinal endometriosis (IE) in the differential diagnosis of all patients of reproductive age with intestinal masses and of inquiring about concomitant gynecological symptoms when taking a history. The appropriate management of EI diagnosed before surgery requires liaison between the departments of general surgery and gynecology, bearing in mind the patient's symptoms and age in relation to the menopause. Currently available therapeutic options are admi nistration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues and resection of involved section of the intestine with adequate margins to avoid local recurrences. Recently, neoadjuvant treatment with GnRH analogues has been shown to facilitate elective surgery for EI (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Proctalgia fugax can be defined as transitory but recurrent anal pain. Although its etiology remains unknown, an internal anal sphincter spasm seems to be the most likely, so that the different treatments focus on reducing the pressure of the internal anal sphincter. This study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of botulinum A toxin in the treatment of proctalgia fugax. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective clinical trial of patients with proctalgia fugax treated with botulinum A toxin at the Outpatient Clinic attached to the Coloproctogy Unit, University Hospital of Elche, from January 1999 to January 2002. The patients included in the study underwent rectal digital examination, anuscopy, rectoscopy, anal manometry and ultrasonography, barium enema and pelvic CT scan to rule out any organic cause for anal pain. The treatment consisted of 25 IU of botulinum A toxin, with a supplementary dose of 50 IU in those patients with persistence of anal pain episodes within the next two months. The patients were reviewed on the first week, second month, sixth month and first and second year. Anal pain was measured by the patients, using a linear analogue scale from 0 to 10, and continence was assessed at every visit using the Cleveland Continence Grading Scale. RESULTS: Five patients were recluted for the study, with a predominance of females (4 vs. 1). Mean age was 45 years. Length of symptoms prior to the treatment was 13 months (range: 6-18 months). Only one female patient required a second dose of botulinum A toxin to handle the anal pain. All the patients healed and remained free of pain up to finishing the follow-up. There were no local complications. Anal manometry showed an increased MRP (mean resting pressure) in comparison to a control group of patients (114 mmHg vs. 66 mmHg; p < 0.001) that restore to normal values after the treatment (75.65 mmHg). As for the MSP (mean squeeze pressure), it showed no difference with respect to the control group nor did it vary after the treatment. CONCLUSION: Botulinum A toxin offers a high rate of healing with no associate morbidity in the treatment of proctalgia fugax.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of botulinum toxin in the treatment of chronic anal fissure after long-term follow-up and establish the manometric factors related to recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We performed a prospective study in 50 consecutive patients with chronic anal fissure who were treated with 25 U botulinum toxin injected into the internal sphincter. Clinical and manometric parameters were recorded until the fourth year of follow-up. RESULTS: There was a tendency to progressive recurrence over time (54% at 4 years) associated with manometric factors indicating hyperexcitability of the internal anal sphincter (persistently elevated mean resting pressure, percentage of time with slow waves, and number of patients or percentage of time with ultra-slow waves after treatment). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of chronic anal fissure with botulinum toxin leads to long-term cure in less than 50% of patients. In patients with manometric factors related to recurrence, this treatment is insufficient for definitive cure.

RESUMO

Introducción y objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad a largo plazo de la toxina botulínica para el tratamiento de la fisura anal crónica y establecer unos parámetros manométricos pronósticos asociados a una mayor tasa de recidiva. Pacientes y método: Estudio prospectivo de 50 pacientes con fisura anal crónica tratados con 25 U de toxina botulínica infiltrada en el esfínter anal interno. Se realizó evaluación clínica y manométrica hasta el cuarto año de seguimiento. Resultados: Hubo una recurrencia progresiva en el tiempo (el 54% al cuarto año), asociada a factores manométricos que indican persistencia de la hiperexcitabilidad del esfínter anal interno: elevación de la presión máxima basal, porcentaje de tiempo con presencia de ondas lentas y número de pacientes y porcentaje de tiempo con ondas ultralentas. Conclusiones: El tratamiento de la fisura anal crónica con toxina botulínica presenta unos índices de curación menores del 50% a largo plazo. Hay un grupo de pacientes con factores manométricos relacionados con una mayor recidiva, en quienes este tratamiento no es suficiente para la resolución definitiva del problema

RESUMO

Introducción: la fisura anal crónica sigue siendo uno de los problemas proctológicos más frecuentes e incapacitantes en la población occidental actual. La esfinterotomía lateral interna abierta es una de las opciones terapéuticas descritas y aceptadas como tratamiento de elección de la fisura anal crónica, ya que reduce la hipertonía esfinteriana (mecanismo etiopatogénico fundamental de la fisura), permitiendo por tanto, disminuir la proctalgia y así la curación de la fisura. Material y métodos: realizamos un estudio prospectivo de 120 pacientes intervenidos por fisura anal crónica con esfinterotomía lateral interna abierta con anestesia local (20 cc mepivacaína al 2%) tratados ambulatoriamente en la consulta de la Unidad de Proctología entre los años 1998-2001. No se requirió estudios preoperatorios, preparación con enemas, profilaxis antibiótica, accesos venosos, ingreso ni observación hospitalaria. Los pacientes fueron revisados a la 1a semana, 2o mes, 6o mes y al año. Resultados: complicaciones precoces (1a semana): 3 hematoma-equimosis de la herida (2,5%), 3 hemorragias autolimitadas (2,5%). No encontramos trombosis hemorroidales, fístulas, abscesos perianales ni mortalidad. Complicaciones tardías (2o mes): 9 pacientes con incontinencia (7,5%) y 3 pacientes (2,5%) con recurrencia de la fisura. Al 6o mes, la incontinencia disminuyó al 5% (6 pacientes), y aparecieron 3 pacientes más con recurren- cia de la fisura (2,5%). Al año se mantuvo la tasa de incontinencia del 5% (a gases y líquidos) y aparecieron otros 3 pacientes con recurrencia de la fisura (2,5%). Recurrencia global del 7,5%. Los hallazgos en la manometría fueron, PMB (presión máxima basal) pre-tratamiento similar a la PMB en pacientes con recurren- cia de la fisura, así como la PMB del grupo control similar a la PMB de pacientes con curación. La PMB en pacientes incontinentes fue más baja que la PMB en pacientes continentes (55 ± 7 frente a 80,7 ± 21). La diferencia entre la PMCV (presión máxima de contracción voluntaria) en pacientes incontinentes y pacientes continentes no fue estadísticamente significativa. Conclusiones: la esfinterotomía lateral interna abierta con anestesia local tiene una tasa de curación a largo plazo y unos índices de morbilidad equiparables a otras técnicas, por lo que puede ser considerada como un tratamiento adecuado y eficaz para esta patología (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic anal fissure is one of the most frequent proctological disorders in Western populations. Open lateral internal sphincterotomy is one of the therapeutic options accepted as the treatment of choice for chronic anal fissure, since it reduces the hypertonia of the internal anal sphincter (the main etiopathogenic mechanism of fissures), decreases anal pain, and allows the fissure to heal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We carried out a prospective study of 120 patients operated on for chronic anal fissure with open sphincterotomy under local anesthesia at our Proctology Outpatient Unit from 1998 to 2001. No preoperative studies, bowel preparation, or antibiotic prophylaxis were carried out. All patients were followed up after 1 week, 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year, and underwent an anal manometry before and after surgery. RESULTS: Early complications: 3 hematoma-ecchymosis of the wound (2.5%), 3 self-limited hemorrhage events (2.5%). No hemorrhoidal thrombosis, fistulas, or perianal abscesses occurred. Fissures recurred in nine patients (7.5%) within one year. The initial rate of incontinence of 7.5% at two months dropped down to 5% at six months. The mean resting pressure (MRP) in incontinent patients was lower than in continent patients (55 +/- 7 mmHg versus 80.7 +/- 21 mmHg). The difference in mean squeeze pressure (MSP) between incontinent patients and continent patients was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Open sphincterotomy under local anesthesia has a long-term rate of healing and a morbidity rate similar to other techniques. It may therefore be considered an effective treatment for chronic anal fissure.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: to assess the effectiveness of ambulatory rubber band ligation (RBL) in the treatment of symptomatic internal haemorrhoids and to identify factors related to relapse. PATIENTS AND METHODS: prospective study of 232 patients treated with rubber band ligation for symptomatic haemorrhoids (grade I-III or grade IV with severe contraindication for surgery) from November 1996 to November 2000 at the outpatient clinic. Ligation was performed with a Stille AB (Comedic) ligator and suction pump, placing 1-3 bands per session and with up to three sessions per patient. Effectiveness of treatment was defined as the absence of symptoms and was confirmed by anoscopy by checking the residual scar after the cushions' detachment. Categorical variables were compared using the shi-squared test, whereas Student's t-test was used for continuous variables. Logistic regression was employed to identify clinical factors related to relapse. RESULTS: a total of 331 bands were placed during 235 sessions in the 163 patients who completed follow-up (70%). Mean age was 45.6 years, with males accounting for 64.4%. Most patients (86.5%) had grade II or grade III haemorrhoids. Overall morbidity was 6%. The most frequent complications were rectal tenesmus (11%), slight or mild anal pain (7.4%), dysuria (4.3%) and transient anal bleeding (3.7%). The treatment was effective in 86% of patients after a mean follow-up of 32 months. Efficacy was high for grades I and II (100% and 97.4% ) but decreased for grade III (69.8%; p<0.001) and grade IV (0%; p<0.001). Most relapses occurred within the first 24 months (87%) and were not significantly related to age, gender, duration of symptoms, itching, bleeding, pain, tenesmus or bowel habit, but were significantly related to the presence of prolapse and its grade (p<0.001), and to the involvement of left posterior, right lateral and anterior pedicles (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ambulatory RBL is a safe and effective treatment for grade I, II and III symptomatic haemorrhoids, and is associated with low morbidity. Recurrence is uncommon and occurs mainly within the first 24 months, being related to the presence and grade of prolapse as well as to its location, but bears little relation to the rest of factors analysed.

RESUMO

Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia del tratamiento ambulatorio de las hemorroides internas sintomáticas mediante ligadura con banda elástica (LBE) e identificar factores clínicos asociados a la recidiva. Pacientes y métodos: estudio prospectivo de 232 pacientes con hemorroides internas sintomáticas grados I-III, y grado IV con contraindicación funcional grave para la cirugía tratados en consultas externas (noviembre de 1996 a noviembre de 2000). Se realizó ligadura de los pedículos con un portabandas Stille A B® (Comedic) mediante aspiración con vacío (1-3 ligaduras por sesión y hasta 3 sesiones por paciente). La eficacia del tratamiento se valoró según la remisión de la sintomatología, confirmando por anuscopia la obliteración de las hemorroides y la cicatrización mucosa. Se empleó la prueba de t de Student para el contraste de variables cuantitativas y la prueba de 2 de Pearson para las cualitativas. Para determinar las variables relacionadas con la recidiva se empleó la regresión logística. Resultados: se colocaron 331 ligaduras (235 sesiones) en los 163 pacientes que completaron el seguimiento (70 por ciento de "adhesión" al protocolo). La edad media fue de 45,6 años, con predominio de varones (64,4 por ciento). La mayoría (86,5 por ciento) fueron grados II y III. La morbilidad global fue del 6 por ciento, siendo lo más frecuente el te nesmo rectal (11 por ciento), dolor leve y autolimitado (7,4 por ciento), disuria (4,3 por ciento) y rectorragia (3,7 por ciento). Tras un seguimiento de 32 meses la eficacia global fue del 86 por ciento, siendo mayor en los grados I-II (100 y 97,4 por ciento) que en los grados III (69,8 por ciento; p<0,001) y IV (0 por ciento; p<0,001). La mayoría de recidivas (87 por ciento) ocurrió en los primeros 24 meses. No hubo relación significativa entre recidiva y factores como edad, sexo, tiempo de evolución, rectorragia, prurito, secreción, dolor, tenesmo y ritmo intestinal, mientras que sí la hubo con la presencia de prolapso defecatorio y el grado del mismo (p<0,001), y la afectación de los pedículos anterior, lateral derecho y posterior izquierdo (p<0,05).Conclusiones: la LBE ambulatoria es un método eficaz y seguro para el tratamiento de las hemorroides sintomáticas grados I, II y III, con escasa morbiblidad. La recidiva es baja, ocurre fundamentalmente durante los primeros 24 meses, y sólo se relaciona con la presencia de prolapso y grado del mismo, y con la localización de los pedículos afectos (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Anal abscess is a frequent acute proctological disorder and whether the underlying fistula should be treated at the same time when the abscess is drained remains controversial. We examined indications for drainage alone versus drainage plus fistulotomy in terms of recurrence and continence. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We carried out a randomized prospective study of 200 consecutive patients with anal abscess. One group received drainage alone, while in the other group drainage plus fistulotomy was performed when a subcutaneous-mucosa, low transsphincteral, or intersphincteral fistula was found. Delayed progressive fistulotomy with suture threads was performed in cases of high transsphincteric or suprasphincteric fistula. RESULTS: The internal opening of the fistula track was found in 83% of the patients. The recurrence rate was related to the surgical technique employed: 29% in the group with drainage alone and 5% in the group for which treatment of the fistula track was attempted. The incontinence rate was also related to the surgical option. In those receiving drainage and treatment of the fistula track incontinence was restricted mostly to patients with delayed fistulotomy (36.7%), compared to 2.8% of patients when simple fistulotomy was performed. There was no incontinence in the drainage alone group. CONCLUSION: Drainage of anal abscess with fistulotomy can be safely performed in cases of subcutaneous, intersphincteral, or low transsphincteral fistulae with a minimal recurrence rate. However, drainage alone and posterior treatment of the fistula track is recommended for high transsphincteral or suprasphincteral fistulae.

RESUMO

Introducción. La utilización de la técnica del plug de Lichtenstein se ha convertido en el patrón de referencia del tratamiento de la hernia crural. Pacientes y métodos. Revisamos 120 hernioplastias crurales operadas electivamente en la Unidad de Cirugía Sin Ingreso del Hospital de Elche desde junio 1992 hasta mayo 1998. Se realizó al 100 por ciento de los pacientes hernioplastia de Lichtenstein con plug de polipropileno. El seguimiento medio ha sido de 68 meses. Resultados. La edad media de los pacientes fue 50,3 años, siendo 85 mujeres (72 por ciento). La técnica anestésica empleada fue preferentemente local con sedación (90 por ciento). No hubo mortalidad operatoria. El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue de 32 min.Las complicaciones fueron: 2 seromas (1,6 por ciento), 3 hematomasufusión subcutánea (2,5 por ciento). No se produjeron infecciones de la herida, rechazos de las prótesis ni recidivas. Conclusiones. La hernioplastia con plug de polipropileno según la técnica de Lichtenstein ofrece unos resultados excelentes con índices de morbimortalidad muy bajos y con tasas de recidivas menores a las técnicas herniorráficas clásicas, por lo que se convierte en la técnica de elección en defectos del anillo crural (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. El excelente resultado de la hernioplastia inguinal ha desplazado a un segundo plano a la herniorrafia, por lo que debemos revisar nuestros resultados previos al auge protésico. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo de 894 pacientes intervenidos de hernia inguinal en la unidad de cirugía sin ingreso (junio 1992-mayo 1998). Se analizan datos epidemiológicos, antecedentes, clínica, tipo de hernia, procedimientos quirúrgicos y anestésicos, complicaciones, recidiva e indicadores de calidad. Resultados. Se realizaron un 96,3 por ciento de herniorrafias, siendo el Bassini modificado la técnica más empleada (86,40 por ciento). El índice de recidivas global fue del 1,5 por ciento, siendo la mayoría (1,2 por ciento) en hernias directas. En pacientes con hernia inguinal indirecta menores de 45 años sin enfermedad asociada sólo se encontró un 0,1 por ciento de recidivas. Conclusiones. Los resultados de las herniorrafias en el tratamiento de hernias primarias en pacientes seleccionados (joven, hernia inguinal indirecta primaria y unilaterales, ASA I y II, no obeso) en manos de cirujanos expertos son excelentes, por lo que siguen teniendo validez en estos casos. Por otra parte, la hernioplastia se convierte en el "patrón oro" en el resto de los pacientes con defectos en la pared inguinal (AU)
