Hernia Surgery

Hernia surgery is a procedure to repair a hernia, which occurs when an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This condition can lead to pain, discomfort, and complications like strangulation of the organ. Surgery is performed to close the opening and prevent further protrusion.

The procedure can be done using open surgery, where a larger incision is made, or laparoscopic surgery, which involves smaller incisions and the use of a camera for guidance. In both cases, the surgeon may use mesh to reinforce the area and provide additional support. Recovery typically involves a few weeks of rest and limited physical activity to allow the surgical site to heal properly.
