Understanding Hernias: When Surgery is Necessary
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. While some small hernias can be managed conservatively, most require surgical repair to prevent complications like incarceration or strangulation.
Common Types of Hernias We Treat:
- Inguinal Hernia — Most common, occurs in the groin area
- Umbilical Hernia — Around the belly button
- Incisional Hernia — At previous surgical sites
- Ventral/Epigastric Hernia — Upper abdomen
- Hiatal Hernia — Stomach pushes through diaphragm
- Femoral Hernia — Upper thigh/groin area
