What is Hernia Repair Surgery?
This surgery fixes a hernia, where internal organs or tissue push through a weak spot in the muscle. Hernia repairs can be open or laparoscopic.
How does the wound happen?
An incision is made in the affected area (often the groin or abdomen), and mesh may be placed to strengthen the muscle.
What Happens If Not Treated Properly?
- Recurrent Hernia: Poor healing may cause the hernia to return.
- Infection: Especially around the mesh material.
- Wound Opening or Weakness: Increased risk of tearing or hernia enlargement.
- Swelling or Bruising: Poor circulation or pressure can delay healing.
