Abstract：
It is estimated that approximately one in four men and one in 20 women will develop an inguinal hernia over the course of their lifetime. A non-mesh inguinal hernia repair via the Shouldice technique is a unique approach that necessitates dissection of the entire groin region as well as careful assessment for any secondary hernias. Subsequently, a pure tissue laminated closure allows the repair to be performed without tension. Herein, the authors describe a brief overview of inguinal hernias and discuss the relevant patient evaluation, operative steps of the Shouldice procedure, and postoperative considerations.
摘要：
据估计，大约四分之一的男性和十分之一的女性会在其一生中发展为腹股沟疝。通过Shouldice技术进行非网状腹股沟疝修补是一种独特的方法，需要解剖整个腹股沟区域，并仔细评估任何继发性疝。随后，纯组织层合闭合允许在没有张力的情况下进行修复。在这里，作者描述了腹股沟疝的简要概述，并讨论了相关的患者评估，Shouldice程序的操作步骤,和术后注意事项。
