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 hernia - A condition in which a portion of the intestines pushes through a gap or weakened area of tissue that separates the abdomen and inguinal region (groin). These hernias might look like a mass or lump in either the scrotum or higher up in the groin and can cause swelling of the testicles. Testicular torsion - A painful condition in which the testicular sac becomes twisted or rotated, causing the blood flow from the spermatic cord to be cut off.
