inguinal hernia, Management of inguinal hernia

The hernia truss  is intended to contain a reducible inguinal hernia within the abdomen. This device fell out of favour with the advent of hernia surgery. It is not considered to provide a cure, and if the pads are hard and intrude into the hernia aperture they may cause scarring and enlargement of the aperture. 
In addition, most trusses with older designs are not able effectively to contain the hernia at all times, because their pads do not remain permanently in contact with the hernia. The more modern variety of truss medicine is made with non-intrusive flat pads and comes with a guarantee to hold the hernia securely during all activities. 
Surgical :Surgical correction of inguinal hernias, called a herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty, is now often performed as outpatient surgicaly There are various surgical strategies which may be considered in the planning of inguinal hernia repair.
