最常見的腹股溝疝是人體腹部與腿部交界處的疝氣，多以微創方式處理。延誤接受治療，有可能令病情惡化，例如併發腸臟梗塞或壞死，手術風險便會激增，最好及早治理。 Surgical techniques for hernia surgery are highly developed, especially in the common case of inguinal hernia which occurs between the abdomen and legs and is mostly treated with minimally invasive surgery. Delaying medical treatment may worsen the condition, and may cause intestinal infarction or necrosis, which sharply increases the risk of surgery. Thus, it is best to treat hernias as soon as possible.
