An inguinal hernia is a protrusion of an intraabdominal organ, often the small bowel, through an opening in the inguinal area of the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias are very common, occurring in approximately 5% of the general population. Risk factors include a personal / family history of hernias, history of prior hernia or hernia repair, advanced age, male sex, smoking, prior abdominal wall injury, chronic constipation, and chronic cough. Inguinal hernias can be congenital or acquired. They are caused by a weakening or failed closure of fibromuscular groin tissue.
