OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe the anatomy of the inguinal region in a way that is useful for sonographic diagnosis of inguinal region hernias, and to illustrate the sonographic appearance of this anatomy. We show sonographic techniques for evaluating inguinal, femoral, and spigelian hernias and include surgically proven examples.

CONCLUSION. Understanding healthy inguinal anatomy is essential for diagnosing inguinal region hernias. Sonography can diagnose and differentiate between various inguinal region hernias.
