Hernia
Hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common causes include heavy lifting, straining during bowel movements, persistent coughing, and obesity. Factors such as age, a family history of hernias, and certain medical conditions can increase the risk of developing a hernia. Additionally, lifestyle choices like smoking and poor nutrition can further weaken muscle tissue, making individuals more susceptible. Early detection and proper management are crucial to prevent complications and ensure effective treatment.

Treatment of Hernia
- During laparoscopy, or “keyhole surgery,” your surgeon uses several tiny cuts (usually three or four) to operate. Your surgeon inserts a thin tube with a tiny video camera (laparoscope) that projects images of your insides onto a screen. They insert surgical instruments into the other incisions that allow them to repair the hernia.
- This type of advanced laparoscopic surgery uses robotic surgical instruments to operate. Your surgeon works at a console driving the technology used to repair the weakened tissue causing your hernia.
- A surgeon makes a single incision (cut) that allows them to operate on the herniated tissue. They put the organs and tissue back into place and use surgical instruments to stitch the tissue back together to make it stronger. Surgeons often use surgical mesh to reinforce the tissue.
