HERNIA SURGERY

Hernia surgery, also known as herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty, is a medical procedure performed to repair a hernia. A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue protrudes through a weak spot or opening in the muscles or connective tissue that normally holds it in place. Hernias can occur in various parts of the body, but the most common types are inguinal hernias (occurring in the groin area) and ventral or incisional hernias (occurring at the site of a previous surgical incision or weak abdominal muscles). Here's an overview of hernia surgery: Hernia Assessment: Before surgery, the surgeon will evaluate the hernia through physical examination and possibly imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans. The type, size, location, and the patient's overall health will determine the surgical approach.
