Indirect hernia is the most common external hernia, incidence rate is about 90% of all external hernia, or 95% of inguinal hernia.

The former is caused by patent peritoneum sheath process, while the latter is caused by congenital defect of inguinal region, and hypoplasia of internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles.
