Visualizing the Anatomy: Open Repair on a Thin Patient
While every hernia repair follows a standard protocol, the patient’s body habitus can drastically change the surgical view. In this video, Dr. Todd Harris operates on a particularly thin, healthy patient, which allows for an exceptionally clear demonstration of the inguinal anatomy. You will see the precise identification of the ilioinguinal nerve and the spermatic cord structures with minimal obstruction. This video serves as a perfect ‘textbook’ example of how we dissect, reduce the hernia, and reconstruct the inguinal floor using Bard Soft Mesh.
