I am using regular expression in R with the following code:

> temp <- c("Herniorrhaphy, left inguinal", "Herniorrhaphy, right inguinal")
> grep("Herniorrhaphy, [left|right] inguinal",temp)
integer(0)
> grep("Herniorrhaphy, [left inguinal|right inguinal]",temp)

    "Herniorrhaphy, (left inguinal|right inguinal)"
