Score-Predictive Scale for Assessing the Risk of Inguinal and Femoral Hernias Incarceration

Today, algorithms have been developed for actions after excluding hernia incarceration directly during the patient’s hospitalization, but there are no clear recommendations for how to proceed: to offer surgery in this hospitalization or to recommend planned surgical treatment. To answer this question, it is necessary to assume the probability of repeated incarceration. To solve this problem, we have suggested high, medium and low risk of incarceration of inguinal or femoral hernia and determine the optimal timing of surgery.
