Sports injuries and hernia surgery
The Gilmore Groin & Hernia Clinic at 108 Harley Street, London provides an integrated service staffed by a dedicated multi-disciplinary team specialising in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries such as Gilmore’s Groin and various types of hernia. It aims to achieve this with the highest standard of professional care and a minimum of delay.
Groin disruption (Gilmore’s Groin) is a severe musculo-tendinous injury of the groin, which can be successfully treated by the surgical restoration of normal anatomy. ‘Gilmore’s Groin’ was named after Jerry Gilmore, consultant surgeon and director at 108 Harley Street, who recognised the syndrome of Groin Disruption in sportsmen and undertook the first successful repair.
The success of surgery for Gilmore’s Groin depends on accurate diagnosis, meticulous repair of each element of the disruption and intensive rehabilitation according to a standard rehabilitation programme. The surgical treatment consists of restoring normal anatomy with a six-layered structure repair of the inguinal region. Adductor tenotomy is indicated in patients with persistent and troublesome adductor tears which do not respond to conservative treatment.
The most common types of hernia requiring surgery are:
