Hernia Surgery

Abdominal wall reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the structure and function of the abdominal wall, typically after significant trauma, infection, or complex hernias.

A hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue.

A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest cavity.

An incisional hernia occurs when tissue bulges out through a weakened spot in the abdominal wall, typically at the site of a previous surgical incision.

An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles in the groin area.
