Principio: la reparación mediante un
tapón de malla (que es preferible a una
malla extendida) es siempre un
tratamiento eficaz sea cual sea el
defecto existente.
Indicaciones:
En todas las hernias inguinocrurales
basado en el axioma “a menor
disección, mejores resultados”.
a.- Malla: El tapón se forma igual que en la técnica de Gilbert
pero su tamaño se debe de acomodar al defecto existente.
b.- Fijación: varía según el tipo de hernia.
Tipo I. No se requiere sutura nunca.
Tipo II. Usualmente no requiere sutura. La decisión de
utilizar puntos depende del cirujano.
Tipo III. El cono es fijado siempre a los márgenes del
orificio herniario con varios puntos sueltos reabsorbibles.
Tipo IV y V. El defecto directo es circunscrito cerca de su
base con electrocauterio para dejar un margen visible
alrededor del tejido sano, y luego la hernia es reducida. El
tapón se inserta a través del defecto posterior y se fija.
Tipo VI o en pantalón. Pueden precisarse ocasionalmente
dos tapones.
Siempre se debe realizar después una maniobra de
Valsalva para evaluar su correcta posición.
Refuerzo posterior: en todos los casos se coloca una
segunda malla de refuerzo sin sutura. La sección lateral
para dejar paso al cordón se cierra con 2 puntos sueltos
