Abstract:

Operation for inguinal hernia is one of the most commonly perform General surgical procedures in both children and adults. Defective surgical technique is thought to be the prime cause of recurrence. In this case report we are presenting a patient who was operated for left sided indirect inguinal hernia and presented within two weeks with recurrent strangulated inguinal hernia. Through this case report we wanted to see whether there are factors other than technical failure responsible for early recurrence of inguinal hernia. Literature review reveals that factor such as smoking previous history of recurrence;non mesh surgery and connective tissue problems are also responsible for recurrence.
