Hernia occurs when tissues break through a weakened area of the abdominal wall, and is usually noticed as a lump. Different types of hernia are distinguishes depending on the location of the hernia. The most common type is inguinal hernia, which is located in the groin area. Other hernia locations include: umbilical hernia, ventrical/epigastric hernia, hiatus (digestions) hernia, and spigelian hernia. As the hernia enlarges it can cause discomfort and sometimes more dangerously strangulation. This happens when a piece of intestine is trapped inside a hernia. Hernia repair surgery is the only way to treat hernia and is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. There are two types of hernia repair surgeries:
Open hernia repair surgery: The traditional approach where the hernia is repaired via an incision in the groin.
Laparoscopic hernia repair: A newer approach where a thin scope is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen.
