Hernias of any localisation
Herniotomy operations, regardless of the location, follow the same scenario. First, the surgeon exposes the hernia sac (the complex of tissues that make up the hernia), incises it and repositions all the organs in their natural location. The hernia gate is then repaired to prevent its re-occurring in the same place. A variety of additional materials in the form of plates and meshes can be implanted during the surgery.
The classification of hernias is very extensive and confusing, and they can occur almost all over the body. The majority occurs in the abdominal area. Most commonly, hernia sacs are a variety of cases of fascia, muscle and other organs that tend to stretch. Individual hernias have a tendency to become impinged, which can often end with rather disastrous results. Therefore, if you find a hernia, consult the medical worker immediately.
