Objective To discuss the main auxiliary inspection methods and their guiding significance for inguinal hernia.Methods By searching literatures and international guidelines, to review the main auxiliary examination methods, such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI.Results Clinical physical examination combined with ultrasound could increase diagnostic sensitivity. CT could provide surgeons with a better sense of wholeness and structural details, and could be used as a guide for specific types of inguinal hernia. The soft tissue recognition of MRI was good, and it had a good effect on the identification of hidden hernia, mesh conditions, and tissue inflammation.Conclusion Each examination has its own advantages, and should be selected based on clinical practice and medical center conditions.
