Inguinal hernia surgery Inguinal hernia surgery Inguinal hernia surgery is an operation to repair a weakness in the abdominal wall that abnormally allows abdominal contents to slip into a narrow tube called the inguinal canal in the groin region. Surgery remains the ultimate treatment for all types of hernias as they will not get better on their own, however not all require immediate repair. Elective surgery is offered to most patients taking into account their level of pain, discomfort, degree of disruption in normal activity, as well as their overall level of health. Emergency surgery is typically reserved for patients with life-threatening complications
Femoral neck targeting component occurs, early implant failure can result. There are many methods surgeons use to calculate the true centre of the femoral neck. Today the methods broadly fall under two categories: The navigational systems were created to be an accurate means for surgeons to implant components with as much accuracy as possible. Studies have shown that this is largely true, but navigational systems are a very different means of femoral neck targeting, and require a steep learning curve. Below is a comparative analysis of both types of navigational targeting against traditional targeting techniques. A computer-assisted device to calculate the true centre
