الملخص EN

Muslim physicians in the Middle East were pioneers in hernia surgery.

Most prominent of these physicians was Abu-Alqassem Al-Zahrawi, who described various kinds of external hernias, distinguished between direct and indirect inguinal hernias, and also accurately and knowledgeably described the correct anatomic basis for repairing both umbilical and inguinal hernias.
