摘要
To assess the safety and accuracy of herniography for the diagnosis of inguinal hernia in young military men with unexplained pain in the groin, a retrospective study in 79 patients with unexplained pain in the groin who underwent a herniography is presented. Nineteen patients (24%) showed a positive herniogram which was confirmed in 15 out of 16 patients who subsequently underwent surgery. All 60 (76%) patients with a negative herniography were followed-up. An inguinal hernia was subsequently found at surgery in two patients out of eight who were operated on later. In our series no serious complications occurred. Herniography has been shown to be a safe and reliable method to demonstrate or exclude an inguinal hernia in young military men with unexplained pain in the groin. The differential diagnosis in this specific patient group is discussed. © 1990.
