Hernia Repair Surgery
Hernia Repair Surgery is a common surgical procedure performed to treat hernias—conditions where an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Hernias most often occur in the abdominal wall and are commonly seen in areas such as the groin (inguinal hernia), belly button (umbilical hernia), or previous surgical sites (incisional hernia).
The most effective and permanent treatment for a hernia is surgical repair. There are two main techniques: open hernia repair and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) hernia repair. In open surgery, a single incision is made over the hernia site to push the protruding tissue back into place and strengthen the weakened area, often using a surgical mesh.
In laparoscopic surgery, several small incisions are made, and the procedure is performed using a laparoscope and special instruments, resulting in less postoperative pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars.
Hernia symptoms typically include a visible bulge, discomfort or pain (especially when lifting, bending, or coughing), and sometimes a heavy or dragging sensation. If left untreated, hernias can enlarge and may lead to serious complications such as strangulation, where the blood supply to the trapped tissue is cut off, requiring emergency surgery.
