A hernia occurs when internal organs protrude through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. The most common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), and incisional (surgical site) hernias.

Symptoms often include pain, swelling, and a discomfort that worsens with movement. The primary treatment is surgical repair, and in most cases, a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) technique is preferred.

With the use of advanced mesh materials, the risk of recurrence is reduced and the recovery process is faster and more comfortable.
