About Surgery

A hernia is characterized by the abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue, such as the intestine or omentum, through the weakened or torn wall of its normal cavity. This occurs when the layers of the abdominal wall weaken, leading to bulging or tearing and allowing a loop of abdominal tissue or intestine to slip into a sac, resulting in potential severe pain and other serious health complications. Hernias can be asymptomatic or cause varying degrees of pain. They occur when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or tissue. Common types of hernias include inguinal hernias (more common in men), femoral hernias (mainly affecting older women), umbilical hernias, and hiatal hernias. Prompt treatment is crucial for individuals diagnosed with a hernia.
