Abstract
In 146 adults (88 men, 58 women) with groin pain of uncertain origin and normal physical examinations, herniography disclosed inguinal hernias in 40 (45%) men and in 19 (33%) women. There were no false-positive or false-negative herniographic diagnoses among 20 patients who were operated upon subsequently. These results indicate that herniography is a useful examination in the evaluation of adults with groin pain of obscure origin.
