Brief Summary

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

MRI imaging in clinically evident inguinal hernia is not routinely used. In other painful inguinal conditions (such as sportsmans hernia) inflammatory changes have been detected. The aim of the present study is to determine, whether similar inflammatory changes can be detected with MRI scan in inguinal hernia. Also, patient questionaires are used preoperatively and postoperatively to determine, if preoperative pain scores can be used as a predictive value for postoperative prolonged pain/neuralgia.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

study group

All patients in this study have MRI scan prior to hernia repair surgery. If inflammatory changes are present, the scan is repeated 6 months after surgery. If not, the scan is performed only if the patient has pain problems at 6 months.
