Hernies inguinales et exposition professionnelle : revue de la littérature et étude descriptive de cas

Further studies are however needed to know if the occupational physician should retrain professionally a worker with a history of inguinal hernia, in order to avoid the risk of recurrence of inguinal hernia.
