The hernia is very widespread in the world; it is a benign pathology.Indeed, there are several types of hernias namely: the crural hernia, the inguinal hernia on which we are researching and many other hernias. The inguinal hernia is the most common in rural areas and agricultural work and the like are the contributing factors. It was difficult to get details of the actual activity that executes a rural native.The main objective of this study was to participate in improving the health status of the community by reducing the frequency of inguinal hernia in rural areas at Pandji General Referral Hospital in Tshela.During this study we observed that with regard to the year parameter, the year 2009 was the most affected with 79 cases or 25% out of a total of 311 and the year 2013.

La hernie est très rependue dans le monde; elle est une pathologie bénigne.En effet, il existe plusieurs types d’hernies à savoir: la hernie crurale, la hernie inguinale sur laquelle porte notre recherche et bien d’autres hernies. La hernie inguinale est le plus rependu en milieu rural et les travaux agricoles et autres y analogues en sont les facteurs favorisants. Il était difficile d’avoir de précision sur l’activité réelle qui exécute un indigène en milieu rural.L’objectif principal de cette étude était de participer à l’amélioration de l’état de santé de la communauté par la réduction de la fréquence de la hernie inguinale dans le milieu rural à l’hôpital général de référence Pandji de Tshela.Au cours de cette étude nous avons observé qu’en ce qui concerne le paramètre année, l’année 2009 a été la plus touché avec 79 cas soit 25% sur un total de 311 et l’année 2013. A connu moins de cas avec 14% soit 44 cas. Selon les types d’hernies, la hernie inguinale était la plus observée avec 225 cas soit 72% sur un total de 311. Par contre la hernie crurale était rarement rencontrée avec 1 cas soit 1%.La répartition des cas de hernies inguinales selon le sexe a montré que le sexe masculin était les plus observé avec 190 cas soit 84% sur un total de 311. Le paramètre tranche d’âge a indiqué que la tranche d’âge de 51-60 ans a présenté une fréquence de31, 5 % soit 71 cas. Sur un total de 225 par contre un faible pourcentage a été observé dans celle de 31-40 ans avec 2,2% soit 5 cas sur un total de 225.
