Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair
Understanding Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair
An abdominal wall hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This condition can cause pain, discomfort, and visible bulges in the abdomen. Hernia repair surgery is a safe and effective way to close the defect and strengthen the abdominal wall.
With advanced surgical methods, hernia repair can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, leading to faster recovery and fewer complications.
