This is a pilot study concerning the question, whether herniorrhaphy is associated with the production of spermaantibodies. The influence of operation or trauma in production of spermaantibodies was investigate as well as the question, whether preexistant spermaantibodies disappear after herniorrhaphy. The following statement was done: 1. Patients with inguinal hernia have no increased coincidence of spermaantibodies in comparison with other men. 2. There is a tendency of more frequent appearance of spermaantibodies in patients after operation or trauma including herniorrhaphy, but no significancy. 3. After herniorrhaphy spermaantibodies appear in about 20%. 4. Preexisting spermaantibodies may frequently disappear after herniorrhaphy.

D006552	Hernia, Inguinal	An abdominal hernia with an external bulge in the GROIN region. It can be classified by the location of herniation.

The former type is commonly seen in children and young adults; the latter in adults.
