Hernia surgeon

Hernias are a common condition which is treated with medication or in many cases, surgery. This requires the services of a well trained and experienced hernia surgeon. A hernia surgeon is a general surgeon with further training in the treatment of hernias.

A hernia is the medical name for a small protrusion of tissues through another area of the body, for example, the abdominal wall.

There is more than one type of hernia which includes femoral, inguinal and umbilical. Femoral and inguinal hernias commonly affect adults whereas umbilical hernias are usually seen in children.

Hernia surgery

Hernia surgery involves pushing back the hernia followed by repair of the weakened muscle tissue, e.g. the abdominal wall. There are two ways of doing this:

  • Keyhole repair
  • Tension free mesh repair

These are the most effective ways of treating a hernia.
