“…Krugner‐Higby et al 7 reported an increased incidence of inguinal hernias in rhesus monkeys after lead exposure. Contrast herniography and peritoneography have also been reported by James et al 8 to assist in the diagnosis of inguinal hernia in NHPs. Berg et al 9 reported a rare case of a non‐reducible inguinal hernia containing the uterus and bilateral adnexa in a female rhesus monkey.…”

“…Plain or contrast X-rays, ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) provide information about the anatomical characteristics of the suspected region, i.e., the content of the hernial sac and the integrity of the anatomical structures, allowing for a diagnosis and treatment [1,27,[30][31][32][33]. Although cheap and harmless, the US is not very reliable for hernia detection due to its accuracy being user-dependent [34].…”

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.
