Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through its usual space; they can be present at birth or develop as time passes. An inguinal hernia means that soft tissue has pushed through the abdominal walls of the patient. In the laparoscopic surgical approach, the doctor will use small instruments and cameras to correct the hernia. In herniorrhaphy (also known as open hernia repair), the doctor can correct the inguinal hernia by making an incision in the inner thigh, moving the tissue back into the correct place, and inserting mesh as support.Read More about Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery →
