Plicae create three flat fossae recognizable on each side, corresponding to possible hernia defects. Hernia presentation can be more easily evaluated by a laparoscopic view than by an endoscopic or anterior view. DIH: Direct inguinal hernia; IIH: Indirect inguinal hernia; LUP: Lateral umbilical plica; MUP: Medial umbilical plica.
