AB Conservative  management  of  asymptomatic  inguinal  hernias  is  acceptable.A  proficient  understanding  of  groin  anatomy  is  essential  to  successful  inguinal  hernia  treatment.Elective  repair  of  inguinal  hernias  can  be  undertaken  using  an  laparoscopic  or  open  approach.The  use  of  prosthetic  mesh  as  a  reinforcement  significantly  improves  recurrence  rates,  whether  the  repair  is  open  or  laparoscopic.Recurrence,  pain,  and  quality  of  life  are  important  outcome  factors.Laparoscopic  inguinal  hernia  repair  results  in  less  pain  and  faster  recovery,  yet  requires  specialized  training  and  equipment.
