Right sided Inguinal hernias are more common because right sided testis descends later than left side. This is turn causes increased likelihood of patent processes vaginalis on right side causing higher incidence of right sided inguinal hernia.
It is still not clear why right testis descends later than left (may be anatomical reasons).

What people show the greatest likelihood of needing inguinal hernia repair?
The majority of hernias occur in males. Nearly 25% of men and only 2% of women in the United States will develop inguinal hernias. Inguinal hernias occur nearly three times more often in African American adults than in Caucasians.
What is the difference between a hiatal hernia and an inguinal hernia?
None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.
Can gluteal pain be associated with inguinal hernias and groin pain?
In all the patients I've seen with inguinal hernias (a couple thousand), I never saw one that complained of buttocks pain...
What is the medical term meaning displacement of the intestines through the inguinal canal?
An inguinal hernia is the medical term meaning displacement of the intestines through the inguinal canal. Other relatively common types of hernias are umbilical, ventral, and incisional hernias.
Where do inguinal hernias occur in the abdominocrural crease?
Hernias above the abdominocrural crease are inguinal (latin, groin) and those arising below the crease are femoral (Latin, thigh) or crural (Latin, leg). -Schwartz
What hernia is most common in men?
By far the most common hernias (up to 75% of all abdominal hernias) are the so-called inguinal hernias. Much insight is needed in the anatomy of the inguinal canal. A hernia is protrusion of an organ or the muscular wall of an organ through the cavity that normally contains it. A hiatal hernia occurs when the stomach protrudes upwards into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm.
What hernia has the greatest potential for herniation?
Inguinal hernias have the greatest potential for herniation as they are the most common type of hernia and occur in the groin area where there is a natural weak spot in the abdominal wall. If left untreated, inguinal hernias can lead to serious complications such as incarceration and strangulation.
Can a girl get a hernia?
Both men and women can get hernias the same way, a weak place in the muscles of the wall of a body cavity splits and allows the cavity contents to protrude. Hernias involving the abdominal cavity are common in men and women. They can happen any place in the abdominal wall muscles. They are called ventral hernias. A type more common in men, but also seen in women, occurs in the groin area called the inguinal area on either (or both) sides of the low abdomen and are called inguinal hernias. These frequently show up after a heavy lifting strain and protrude/"rupture". A lump may appear in the area with the pain which is actually a portion of bowel protruding through the muscle opening. In men, inguinal hernias may not show a lump in the inguinal area if the area of weakness is at the bottom and bowel slips into the scrotum and protrudes there as a lump in the scrotum. Other common places in the abdominal cavity wall that can "rupture" are in the area around or near the belly button, which are called umbilical hernias, or at an incision site from a previous surgery called incisional hernias.
Which condition occurs when part of the intestine pushes into scrotum?
Inguinal hernia
Do pigs and other quadrupeds develop inguinal hernias?
Yes, pigs and other quadrupeds can develop inguinal hernias. An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This condition can be seen in various animals, including pigs, dogs, and horses.
Do only boys get hernias?
No. Boys and girls (men and women) can get hernias. Men are 10 times more likely than women to get "inguinal hernia". In men, this occur when part of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdomen; often along the inguinal canal, which carries the spermatic cord and in women it can develop where the tissue that binds the uterus exits from the abdomen and joins with the tissue surrounding the vaginal opening..

What is the cpt code for right inguinal exploration?
The CPT code for right inguinal exploration is 49505. This code is used for the surgical exploration of the right inguinal region, typically involving the assessment and potential repair of conditions such as inguinal hernias. Always verify with the latest coding guidelines or resources, as codes may be updated.
