Management of Groin Hernia

- Introduction

Groin hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgeries worldwide. It involves the correction of inguinal hernias, which occur when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. Groin hernias are classified based on their anatomical location and the type of tissue involved, ⁽¹⁾. The two primary types of groin hernias are inguinal hernias and femoral hernias. Inguinal hernias are further categorized into direct and indirect hernias, ⁽²⁾.

The surgical repair can be approached in different ways, including open repair, laparoscopic repair, and robotic-assisted surgery. The method chosen often depends on the surgeon's expertise, patient characteristics, and the specific nature of the hernia, ^(3-5).
