Hernia Repair - Groin (Inguinal) - Open surgery at GI Doctors
A hernia occurs when the abdominal muscle weakens, resulting in a bulge or tear through which tissue can be pressed and cause extreme pain. Surgical intervention uses a single long incision to allow access to the site of the hernia where the bulge can be removed or pushed back into the abdominal cavity and the muscle walls repaired with stitches or patches depending on the size of the rupture.
