In Group 1, 19 cases underwent a preoperative EMG examination and in 35 cases, EMG examination was obtained postoperatively. Pre- and postoperative EMG results were normal in all cases in Group 1 on both the operational and non-operational sides. In Group 2, 15 preoperative and 25 postoperative EMG examinations were obtained. In Group 2, only one case with a right inguinal hernia who had normal preoperative EMG results showed no IIN response in a postoperative EMG evaluation obtained in the third postoperative week, with a normal left-side response. The EMG was repeated at the three-month postoperative third mark and revealed the same result. In a six-year-old female case, there was a negative EMG response on the non-operative side both pre- and postoperatively.
