A hernia occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the body’s muscle or tissue. There are several types of hernia, including inguinal hernias, femoral hernias, umbilical hernias, and hiatal hernias.

This book discusses different types of hernias and hernia surgeries, including open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic repair.
