Hernia Repair Surgery is a surgical procedure to return an organ that protrudes through a weak area of muscle to its original position. About 75% of all hernias are classified as inguinal hernias which is when an organ protrudes through an opening or weakness of the abdominal wall in the groin area between the abdomen and the thigh. Hernia surgery may be a standard open procedure through an incision large enough to access the hernia or a laparoscopic procedure performed through tiny incisions, using an instrument with a camera attached (laparoscope) and a video monitor to guide the repair.
