Repararea herniei inghinale

A hernia is an escape of bowel, or part of it, from the cavity that normally contains it.

An inguinal hernia is an escape of a piece of tissue due to a weakness in the abdominal muscles, at the level of the groin and precisely in the direction of the inguinal canal and causes the formation of localized swelling, sometimes even clearly visible.

The bowel that most commonly causes an inguinal hernia is the intestine; however, in some cases, the bladder or a portion of adipose tissue also may come out.

The exact site of the swelling varies depending on where the bowel reaches, inside the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is an anatomical structure, similar to a duct, which crosses the entire anterior abdominal wall and inside which the blood vessels pass through humans of the spermatic cord and the round ligament of the uterus.
