Hernia repair surgery
Though hernias rarely have symptoms, they can sometimes be painful and you'll need surgery to put that part of the abdomen back to where it should be.
The surgery can be either keyhole or open surgery depending on your specific case. Keyhole surgery involves making a few small incisions and using a telescopic camera to direct the operation.
Recovery time is usually two to three weeks.
