Hernia Repair Surgery
Assessment of a hernia and advice on repair options, including open or laparoscopic surgery when appropriate.
About Hernia Repair Surgery
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle. It may cause a swelling in the groin or abdomen, sometimes with discomfort. Your surgeon examines the area and explains whether observation or repair is recommended.
The repair may use an open or laparoscopic approach depending on the type of hernia and your circumstances. Discuss the benefits, risks and recovery before surgery. A painful swelling with vomiting or a sudden worsening of symptoms requires urgent medical assessment.
