Find a Doctor for Hernia Repair Surgery

Hernia surgery is a surgical procedure to repair a hernia.

A hernia is the result when some sort of tissue makes its way through a muscle or membrane that should be holding it in place, creating a hole. The most common hernias are in the abdomen when a weak abdominal wall develops a hole through with the tissues can protrude. The most common approach to repairing a hernia is to close up the hole and reinforce the muscle or membrane. In a traditional surgery, the muscles will be pulled back together. Newer techniques involve patching the tear with a mesh implant that has been sewn or stapled in place.

Doctors that repair hernias are called general surgeons.
