Common General issues: Hernia repair surgery
Hernia repair is needed when internal organs or tissues bulge through the wall that contains them. During this common procedure, the bulging tissue is pushed back in and your abdominal wall is then strengthened or supported with sutures or mesh. Mr James Lee will be able to recommend the best surgery for your circumstances, but this is typically a minimally invasive surgery.
