Operations in this area
- Inguinal Hernia and Its Surgical RepairAn inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin caused by abdominal tissue pushing through a weak point in the abdominal wall. Here we explain why it happens, which symptoms need urgent attention, and what surgical repair actually involves.
- Hiatal Hernia and Reflux SurgeryA hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach slides through the opening in the diaphragm into the chest. It is most often discovered because of stubborn reflux, and whether it needs surgery depends on your symptoms and investigations rather than on the hernia alone.
- Umbilical Hernia and Its RepairAn umbilical hernia is a bulge at or near the navel, where abdominal tissue pushes through a naturally thin point in the abdominal wall. It can start as a small lump, but in adults it does not close by itself and is worth having assessed.
- Incisional Hernia and Abdominal Wall RepairAn incisional hernia develops where a previous abdominal operation left the wall weakened along the line of the scar. Repairing it is a reconstruction of the abdominal wall rather than a simple closure, which is why careful assessment and preparation matter so much.
