    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Surgical Diagnosis
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Undiagnosed groin and pelvic pain presents a diagnostic challenge.
    • Clinical diagnosis of hernias, particularly in women, can be difficult.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic value of herniography in patients with obscure groin or pelvic symptoms.
    • To assess herniography's ability to identify various hernia types and evaluate abdominal wall integrity.

    Main Methods:

    • Herniography was performed on over 4,000 patients.
    • Analysis of imaging findings to correlate with clinical presentations.

    Main Results:

    • Herniography demonstrated significant value in diagnosing obscure groin/pelvic pain.
    • The procedure identified hernial sacs, assessed abdominal wall tissue strength, and differentiated hernia types.
    • In young athletes, herniography often revealed hernias and associated osteochondritis.
    • Herniography proved highly beneficial in diagnosing hernias in women.

    Conclusions:

    • Herniography is an effective diagnostic tool for groin and pelvic pain.
    • It provides comprehensive evaluation of the inguinal region, pelvic floor, and pouch of Douglas.
    • Herniography improves diagnostic accuracy, especially in challenging cases like athletes and women.
