Hernia Surgery
What is a Hernia?
Types of Hernia & Their Clinical Significance
Inguinal Hernia
The most common type of hernia, occurring in the groin region when tissue protrudes through a weakened abdominal wall, primarily affecting men.
Hiatal Hernia
A condition where part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm, often causing acid reflux, chest discomfort, and heartburn.
Umbilical Hernia
Common in infants, this occurs near the belly button when abdominal tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall.
Incisional Hernia
Develops at the site of a previous surgical incision due to weakening of the abdominal muscles after surgery.
Femoral Hernia
Typically affecting women, this hernia appears near the upper thigh or groin and may lead to serious complications if untreated.
