Brief Summary
Routine microscopic examination of the hernia sac is controversial. While some centers do not recommend a routine microscopic examination in inguinal hernias in adult patients, they recommend them in abdominal wall hernias. The investigators aimed to discuss the pathology results and unexpected histopathological findings who underwent abdominal wall and inguinal hernia operation in the light of the literature.
