Abstract: The study addressed inguinal hernias as a frequent cause of surgical intervention in adults, focusing on their classification, risk factors and the main surgical treatment techniques. It explained that these hernias could be divided into direct, indirect and crural hernias, according to their anatomical location. It analysed that recurrent hernias arose after previous interventions, influenced by technical factors or patient conditions such as age, chronic respiratory diseases or smoking. It also explained that surgical treatment had evolved, highlighting two main methods: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. The latter offered advantages such as less postoperative pain and faster recovery, although it had certain limitations in patients with extensive surgical histories. Finally, he concluded that the choice of treatment should be individualised, assessing the risks and benefits on a case-by-case basis.
