Major (Open) Hernia Repair (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public
You are having surgery (an operation) to repair your hernia. A hernia happens when tissue or an organ (such as the intestine) squeezes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissues. It results in a bulge. The weak spot is from a weakness in the muscle from previous surgery. (English) Colour
