Hernia Repair: A hernia is a bulging of internal organs or tissues, which protrude through an abnormal opening in the muscle wall. Hernias can occur in the abdomen, groin, and at the site of a previous surgery such as inguinal hernia. The aim of a hernia repair operation is to push the intestine back in place and strengthen the abdominal wall.
