Hernia repair surgery is a common surgical procedure that is used to treat a hernia. A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. The most common type of hernia is an inguinal hernia, which occurs in the groin area.
Hernia repair surgery can be performed using two main techniques: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision near the hernia and repairs it using sutures or a mesh patch. In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes several small incisions and uses a laparoscope (a small camera) to guide the surgical instruments to repair the hernia.
