A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Hernia repair is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting this condition by returning the protruding tissue to its proper place and reinforcing the weakened area.
There are two main types of hernia repair: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, a larger incision is made, while laparoscopic surgery involves smaller incisions and the use of a camera. Both methods aim to relieve pain and prevent complications, allowing patients to return to normal activities.
