Abdominal wall / incisional or ventral hernia repair

​A hernia is a sac-like structure that protrudes from one body space through a weakness to another space and may appear as a bulge or as pain in the abdomen or groin as an example. A hernia can cause pain and discomfort and surgical repair with the use of specialised mesh is the most appropriate treatment for most patients. These can occur in the abdominal wall for many reasons, but many can be found at the scar of previous surgery.  

Depending on the size of the hernia and some other factors, this surgery may need a larger incision. Smaller hernia repairs can mostly be accomplished with keyhole surgery.
