Abstract

To evaluate its clinical benefit in adults, herniography was used in 73 patients with clinically unexplained groin pain. Hernias were demonstrated on the side with symptoms in 26 patients (36%). Relief of groin pain was registered in 16 of 17 patients who subsequently underwent operation. Herniography apparently is of value in the examination of adult patients with clinically unclear groin pain.
