Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Inguinal hernias occur when part of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity (omentum) or intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdomen â often along the inguinal canal, which carries the spermatic cord in men.
Inguinal or groin hernias are the most common type of hernia to occur. Inguinal hernias are much more common in men. Symptoms include a bulge in the groin area that may be accompanied by pain or a dull ache when standing for prolonged periods of time, when doing heavy lifting, coughing or straining.
