Core Tip	Groin hernias include indirect inguinal, direct inguinal, femoral, obturator, and supravesical hernias. Groin hernias have a fascinating history in the fields of anatomy and surgery, and the concept of tension-free repair is generally accepted among clinicians. Although various surgical approaches have been developed, the surgical technique should be carefully chosen for each patient. Surgical repair with mesh is categorized as hernioplasty, while classic repair without mesh is considered herniorrhaphy. Points of debate are also reviewed; important points are shown using illustrations and schemas. Overall, both a skillful technique and anatomical knowledge are indispensable for successful hernia surgery in the groin.
