Understanding the Condition
What is Hernia Surgery?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue wall. Common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (navel), incisional (after previous surgery), and hiatal hernias.
Hernia surgery (herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty) repairs the defect by pushing the bulging tissue back into place and reinforcing the weakened area with a synthetic mesh. The laparoscopic (keyhole) approach uses 3 small incisions, causing less pain and faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
When is surgery needed?
- Visible or palpable bulge at groin, navel, or scar site
- Pain or discomfort especially on bending, coughing, or lifting
- Hernia increasing in size over time
- Risk of strangulation (emergency — blood supply to bowel is cut off)
- Unable to push hernia back manually
