Hernia :
A hernia can be described as a disease condition of outward protrusion of an internal organ or tissue into the abdominal cavity. The hernia can be caused by abdominal pressure, injury, and weakened muscles. There are many types of hernia, such as inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, femoral hernia, incisional hernia, epigastric hernia, and hiatal hernia. The symptoms that can be observed in case of a hernia include pain during coughing, a bulge felt in the affected area, pain while lifting weights, swelling, and discomfort caused due to pressure. The diagnosis of a hernia can be based on the physical examination and a CT scan. Surgical treatment is the only treatment option for a hernia. During the surgical treatment of a hernia, the weakened tissues are repaired and the opening is closed with sutures. There are two types of surgical treatments for hernia correction, such as robotic surgery for hernia repair and laparoscopic surgery.
