Hernia repair surgery
Surgery to repair a hernia — where tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle wall.
When this is typically needed
- A visible bulge, often in the abdomen or groin
- Discomfort that worsens with lifting or straining
- Bulge that grows over time
What it involves
Usually done laparoscopically, pushing the tissue back and reinforcing the weak area, often with mesh support.
What to expect
Most patients go home the same or next day, with a few weeks of restricted heavy lifting during recovery.
