First of all: the inguinal area is located in the triangle area of the junction of the lower abdominal wall and thigh. Inguinal hernia refers to the hernia formed by the abdominal viscera protruding to the body surface through the defect of the inguinal area, commonly known as "hernia". According to the relationship between hernia ring and inferior epigastric artery, inguinal hernia can be divided into indirect inguinal hernia and direct inguinal hernia.

Secondly: indirect inguinal hernia has congenital and acquired two kinds. Indirect inguinal hernia protrudes from the deep ring of inguinal canal (foramen ovale of transverse fascia) which is located on the lateral side of inferior epigastric artery. It passes through the inguinal canal and then passes through the superficial ring of inguinal canal (subdermal ring), which accounts for 95% of inguinal hernia. The incidence rate of male to female is more than that of the left side, and the ratio of male to female is 15:1.
