Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The histology of the internal inguinal ring in patients with indirect hernia submitted to elective surgery was studied. In contrast with recently published studies, the investigators believe that histological findings of the internal inguinal ring would reflect those associated and expected with normal aging.
