Abstract:

Incarcerated inguinal hernia is a common surgical emergency, traditionally treated primarily with open surgery. In recent years, laparoscopic techniques have gradually gained attention, but there is a lack of relevant consensus in China. This article was based on the pioneering Chinese expert consensus on laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment algorithm for incarcerated hernia (2024 edition), jointly formulated by the Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery Group and the Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery Group of the Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. Combining evidence-based evidence and clinical practice, it further interpreted the scientificity of its methods, organized core opinions, and described the clinical implementation process oriented toward clinical scenarios. The aim was to provide practical solutions for clinical doctors, especially grassroots physicians, offering the most direct scheme support, to enhance the therapeutic outcomes for patients with incarcerated hernia and reduce complications and mortality rates.
