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\u2032s 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci9060280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,13]],"date-time":"2022-06-13T06:31:59Z","timestamp":1655101919000},"page":"280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Inguinal Hernia in Nonhuman Primates: From Asymptomatic to Life-Threatening Events"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Melissa A.","family":"de la Garza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, San Antonio, TX 78216, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara R.","family":"Hegge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, San Antonio, TX 78209, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6670-1887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaco","family":"Bakker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Science Department (ASD), Biomedical Primate Research Centre (BPRC), 2288 GJ Rijswijk, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"487","article-title":"Inguinal Hernias: Diagnosis and Management","volume":"102","author":"Shakil","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am.
