Inguinal Hernia Repair is a surgical procedure to fix hernias in the groin area, where tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This common surgery is necessary to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications like strangulation.

The procedure involves pushing the herniated tissue back into place and reinforcing the weakened area with sutures or synthetic mesh. Options include open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, with the latter offering reduced recovery time and less postoperative pain.

Postoperative care includes avoiding heavy lifting, managing pain, and following activity restrictions to prevent recurrence. Patients typically recover within a few weeks and experience significant relief from symptoms.

Inguinal hernia repair is a safe and effective solution that restores normal function and improves quality of life. The choice of technique depends on the hernia’s size and the patient’s overall health.
