Abstract
By injecting an iodine contrast medium into the abdominal cavity and by placing the patient in a position with the table somewhat elevated, it is easy to visualize the inguinal region. The examination is performed with the X-ray tube angulated caudally, and exposures are made while the patient is straining. The method is well adapted for patients with obscure pains in the groins, for patients operated for hernias but not cured of pain and for patients in whom symptoms recur postoperatively without clinical evidence of hernial relapse. The value of the methode appears from four short case reports.
