A hernia is a weakness or opening in the abdominal wall, which often results in soft tissue such as fat or intestine protruding through the abdominal muscles causing pain and bulging. A hernia occurs when a section of the abdominal wall becomes strained and allows internal tissues to push up against or through the weakened area. Hernia can be extremely painful, diminish an individual’s quality of life, and will not go away on their own. However, there are treatment options available, and through advances in modern surgical techniques, hernia repair can now be performed using minimally invasive procedures.
