Popis: The groin is a complex and clinically important area involving numerous fascia, muscles and neurovascular structures. Physical findings can be confusing and accurate diagnosis of groin pathology often relies on imaging. Ultrasound is considered by many as the modality of choice for evaluating groin pain or mass. This review aims to illustrate the sonographic anatomy of this region, the techniques in imaging hernia orifices, characteristic features of various types of hernias and groin masses.
