Hernia Surgery

Hernia surgery is a surgical procedure performed to repair a hernia. A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types of hernias include inguinal hernias (occurring in the groin), umbilical hernias (around the belly button), and incisional hernias (developing at the site of a previous surgical incision).Hernia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or, in some cases, regional anesthesia. After the surgery, patients are closely monitored in a recovery area to ensure their stability. Pain management, wound care, and postoperative instructions are provided to promote healing and minimize complications. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a general surgeon, to determine the most appropriate hernia repair technique based on the specific hernia type, patient factors, and the surgeon’s expertise.
