Kugel technique assures the remedy for parietal defaults and the protection of the entire inguinal area, including the femoral channel. A Kugel mesh patch can be applied very easily in the case of recurrent hernia, it is not very expensive, and its results are in general good. However, hernia-repair surgery complications can occur as well. If anatomic references are initially less familiar, Kugel technique has the advantage that it favours a better comprehension of the inguinal area anatomy and of the mechanisms that favour or prevent hernia repair surgical complications.



The risk of recurrence is in general low, but hernia-repair surgery complications can emerge because of the local anaesthesia, rachidian or epidural one or any lack of compatibility of your body with Kugel mesh patch approach. If there are no hernia repair surgical complications, you do not have to spend a lot of time in hospital and you can recover relatively quickly after the operation.

Now let us see how to prevent hernia and therefore hernia-repair surgery complications. Imagine that you have just left the gym and you feel an abdominal pain. When you have a shower, you notice an oedema in that area. Do not panic. You may suffer from hernia. According to statistics, approximately 5 million Americans suffer from this affection. Hernia is more popular in the case of men and inguinal one is more frequent. If you know more details about it, hernia repair surgical complications may not occur.

If you suppose that you suffer from hernia, you do not have to be worried at all, if you go to the doctor’s on time. However, many people do not do it because they are afraid of this surgery, considering it extremely painful. Nevertheless, it is very important to treat hernia, in order to prevent hernia-repair surgery complications.

There are more types of hernia in different areas of the body, but the most common type is the inguinal one. It occurs when part of the tissue that wraps the peritoneum – or the abdominal cavity – comes out through a thinner area of the abdominal wall. It forms an oedema that is abdominal fat tissue or intestines and in appears in the area of the groins or the abdominal area.

When hernia is getting bigger, it can create pain and discomfort. The symptoms can be described as a weight sent in the oedema area and a burning sensation in the hernia area, of the scrotum in the case of men or in the inner thighs area. It can become dangerous and it can generate hernia repair surgical complications if a bit of intestine is stuck inside.

More factors can lead to hernia. They are: congenital default, which means that the abdominal wall is thin since the moment of birth, stress caused by professional activity, frequent difficult movements like lifting, pulling or pushing weights, permanent serious cough, prostate problems, violent cough or sneezing.

If you can control these factors and you pay attention to your lifestyle and your amount of work, you can prevent hernia and its consequences.
