About Hernia Surgery
A hernia is a bulge where tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Hernias do not heal on their own, and surgery with a mesh is the standard treatment.
A hernia that becomes hard, painful and cannot be pushed back, especially with vomiting, is an emergency. Keyhole repair offers a faster return to activity for many patients.
