Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to fix a hernia, a bulge or protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. The surgeon pushes the bulging tissue back into place and then reinforces the weakened area with a mesh or other material. Depending on the type and size of the hernia, open or laparoscopic techniques may be used.
