In most cases, inguinal hernia surgical patches are able to be patched, while a small percentage of patients may not be able to be patched and experience a recurrence of the lesion. Inguinal hernias are a common general surgical condition in which the abdominal wall tissue in the inguinal region is weak for a variety of reasons, causing internal abdominal organs to protrude from the weak area. Common inguinal hernias include hiatal hernias, straight hernias, femoral hernias, and others. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for inguinal hernias, and nowadays, hernia patch repair is the most common surgical procedure. The patch is trimmed according to the size of the localized defect in the abdominal wall and then fixed to the weak area of the abdominal wall. The surgeon is careful to ensure that the patch repairs the defect properly. In most cases, the patch repairs the defect and heals the lesion completely. In a small number of patients, the weak area of the abdominal wall may gradually expand due to daily activities or age, causing the patch to shift or fail to repair the defect, resulting in a recurrence of the lesion. In this case, a variable-sized mass is usually present in the area of the original surgery. Reoperation is recommended to repair the defective area.
