Treatments & Procedures

An inguinal hernia develops when tissue often part of the bowel or fatty lining pushes through a weakness in the groin muscles. It is the most common type of hernia and is more prevalent in men.

Complex hernias include large abdominal defects, hernias with multiple weak points, cases where previous repairs have failed, and presentations in patients with significant comorbidities.

Non-mesh hernia repair also known as suture or tissue repair involves reinforcing the weakened muscle wall using the patient’s own tissue rather than synthetic mesh.

An umbilical hernia occurs when abdominal tissue pushes through a weakness in the muscle wall at or near the navel.

A femoral hernia occurs when tissue pushes through the femoral canal — a small passage in the upper inner thigh, just below the groin crease. Femoral hernias are less common than inguinal hernias but carry a significantly higher risk of

An incisional hernia develops at the site of a previous abdominal surgical incision, where the scar tissue has weakened over time and allowed abdominal contents to push through.

A recurrent inguinal hernia is one that returns to the groin following a previous surgical repair. This is amongst the most technically demanding presentations in hernia surgery

A bilateral inguinal hernia means hernias are present on both sides of the groin simultaneously. Rather than undergoing two separate
