Hernia Surgery
Hernia surgery considers the site, size, symptoms and risk profile of a hernia before deciding whether observation, open repair, laparoscopic repair or specialist reconstruction is most appropriate.
General information only. Treatment choice depends on diagnosis, investigations, symptoms, fitness for surgery and consultation.
What hernia care covers
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weakness in the abdominal wall or diaphragm. Symptoms, hernia type and previous surgery influence the treatment plan.
When repair may be discussed
- A visible or enlarging bulge
- Pain, dragging discomfort or activity limitation
- Previous surgical wound weakness
- Symptoms or imaging suggesting a higher-risk hernia
Choosing an approach
Laparoscopic, open and complex repairs have different advantages. The approach is selected after examination and, where needed, ultrasound or CT imaging.
