“…Postpartum, when pelvic venous obstruction by the gravid uterus is relieved, spontaneous resolution occurs in most patients [78]. In case of a symptomatic reducible groin mass, duplex sonography is advised, as it helps in differentiating RLV from other causes of inguinal swelling in pregnancy, thus avoiding unnecessary surgical exploration [73,79].…”

In this study, a review of available data and literature on the epidemiology and anamnesis of inguinal hernias in nonhuman primates, as well as on their clinical evaluation and surgical management, was conducted. Inguinal hernias are assumed to be relatively common in male nonhuman primates. Clinical signs are usually limited to a visible or palpable mass in the groin region without pain or systemic illness. Most hernias contain omentum. Careful monitoring is an acceptable treatment option for those animals. Size, the danger of incarceration, and the presence of strangulation are important factors when considering surgical repair. A strangulated inguinal hernia is an emergency, requiring prompt surgery to avoid tissue necrosis and death. Imaging techniques, as well as computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide information about the anatomical characteristics of the suspected region, allowing for a diagnosis and treatment. An inguinal hernia repair can be performed with either open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. The hernia repair can be achieved by mesh or suture. Decisions regarding which repair technique to use depend on the surgeon′s skill level and preference. Complication and recurrence rates are generally low. The most common postsurgical complication is a recurrence of the hernia. Contraceptive measures are not indicated in breeders, as there is no known hereditary component, and the presence of hernia does not appear to affect fertility, nor does it predispose to occurrence, recurrence, or incarceration.

The diagnosis of an inguinal hernia with a first symptomatic onset during pregnancy may be wrong in most cases. Anamnesis and clinical examination must be backed by CDS and round ligament varicosity as an important differential diagnosis must always be considered. Our structured diagnostic pathway helps to easily make the correct diagnosis. Surgical exploration of the groin during pregnancy must be avoided.
