When is surgery necessary for a groin hernia?
1State University of New York, Stony Brook Health Sciences Center School of Medicine.
Abstract:
Hernias are one of the most common causes of symptoms in the groin. Surgery is needed for all femoral and indirect inguinal hernias to prevent incarceration and strangulation. Asymptomatic direct hernias can be observed if they are not enlarging. Atypical symptoms in a patient with a hernia must be evaluated to exclude other disease. Fortunately, most groin hernias can be repaired electively.
