A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal wall have weakened, resulting in a bulge or tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a balloon-like sac.

This can allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the tear. In some patients, the hernia can cause discomfort, pain, or other potentially serious problems that require emergency surgery.

Is hernia surgery important?

Hernia surgery is important, especially to prevent serious complications. A hernia happens when internal tissues bulge through a weak spot in the muscle wall, often in the groin area. Without repair, there’s a risk of strangulation, where trapped tissue loses blood supply — a potentially life-threatening emergency requiring immediate surgery. Elective hernia repair closes the defect and relieves pain, discomfort, or obstruction, improving quality of life and lowering risk of complications. Causes and surgical approaches vary by hernia type. JNU Healthcare offers hernia repair (herniorrhaphy) to fix these weaknesses and support recovery.
