Yes safe: Inguinal hernia relate to the intestine not the ovaries and tubes. The procedure is th put the intestine back into the abdomen safely. It does not involve handling the ovaries or tubes usually.

You are safe: an inguinal hernia repair does not involve the female reproductive organs. Don't worry.
