Study Description

Brief Summary

It is known that strangulation or necrosis of the intestine within the hernia sac of inguinal hernia increases mortality and morbidity in patients. However, the risks of incarceration in hernias have not been fully revealed.To better understand the factors associated with incarceration in inguinal hernia, the investigators will examine patients who will apply to our clinic for inguinal hernia and undergo elective and emergency inguinal hernia surgery.
