Introduction
Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure performed to correct a weakness in the abdominal wall that allows tissue or intestine to protrude into the groin area.
Inguinal hernias may cause pain, swelling, discomfort during physical activity, and carry a risk of incarceration or strangulation if left untreated.
Surgical repair is the only definitive treatment, aiming to relieve symptoms, restore abdominal wall strength, and prevent complications.
