Study of Histological Findings of the Internal Inguinal Ring in Patients

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Clinical Trial Summary

The histology of the internal inguinal ring in patients with indirect hernia submitted to elective surgery was studied. In contrast with recently published studies, the investigators believe that histological findings of the internal inguinal ring would reflect those associated and expected with normal aging.
