Hernia Surgeries
Hernia surgeries are performed to correct various types of hernias, where internal organs or tissues protrude through a weak spot in the abdominal wall or other areas. The most common types of hernia surgeries include:
Inguinal Hernia Repair: This surgery addresses hernias in the groin area. It can be performed using an open technique, where a larger incision is made, or a laparoscopic technique, which involves smaller incisions and a camera. The surgeon repairs the hernia by pushing the protruding tissue back into place and reinforcing the abdominal wall, often with mesh.
Umbilical Hernia Repair: An umbilical hernia occurs at the belly button. The surgery involves making an incision near the belly button, pushing the protruding tissue back into the abdomen, and reinforcing the area with mesh or stitches.
