Hernia surgery repairs inguinal, umbilical, ventral, or incisional hernias that cause pain and discomfort. It is done via laparoscopy or open surgery, where the weakened abdominal wall is reinforced with a mesh. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, with recovery in 1-2 weeks. Risks include recurrence, infection, or chronic pain. Post-operative care involves avoiding heavy lifting, maintaining weight, and wearing abdominal support. Hernia repair surgery effectively restores abdominal strength and prevents complications like strangulation.
