What is Hernia Repair Surgery?

A hernia is a condition where an organ or tissue bulges through an opening or weakness in the muscle or tissue that contains it. The most common types of hernias are inguinal (groin), femoral (upper thigh), umbilical (belly button), and incisional (resulting from a previous surgical incision). Hernias can be caused by muscle weakness and strain, which can be due to factors such as aging, obesity, pregnancy, chronic coughing, or heavy lifting. The most common symptom of a hernia is a swelling or lump in the abdomen or groin area. Other symptoms may include pain or discomfort, especially when lifting or bending, a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected area, and a burning or aching sensation. In some cases, hernias may not cause any symptoms and may be discovered during a routine physical exam. Surgery is the only way to effectively treat a hernia. The goal of surgery is to repair the weakened muscle or tissue and to prevent the hernia from recurring. There are two main ways to perform hernia surgery: open surgery and laparoscopy. Recovery from hernia surgery usually takes about 6 weeks, and patients should avoid strenuous activities during this period. Pain and discomfort are common after surgery, but they can be managed with pain medication.

How You Prepare for Hernia Repair Surgery

Proper preparation for hernia surgery helps ensure successful repair and smoother recovery. Follow these guidelines as directed by your surgeon.

Food and Medicines

  • Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before your scheduled surgery. This includes water and chewing gum.
  • Provide your surgical team with a complete list of all medications and supplements you take regularly.
  • You may need to temporarily stop blood thinners, aspirin, or anti-inflammatory medications 5-7 days before surgery, but only as directed by your doctor.
  • Continue taking blood pressure and heart medications with a small sip of water on the morning of surgery unless specifically instructed otherwise.

What to Expect

During & After Surgery
  • Hernia repair is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you'll likely go home the same day.
  • The surgery usually takes 30-90 minutes depending on the type and complexity of the hernia.
  • Your surgeon will use either open surgery (single larger incision) or laparoscopic surgery (several small incisions).
  • Mesh is commonly used to strengthen the repair, especially for larger hernias.
  • Recovery time varies from 1-2 weeks for desk jobs to 4-6 weeks for physically demanding activities.
  • Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.

Frequentlly Asked Questions About Surgery Second Opinions

Get expert answers about our second opinion process for surgery, specialist consultations, and how our medical experts can help confirm your diagnosis and treatment plan.

Q: What details should I provide for a hernia repair surgery?

A: Share any imaging (ultrasound or CT), physical exam notes, symptoms, previous hernia history, and your surgeon’s recommendation.

Q: Is hernia surgery always needed?

A: Not always. Small, asymptomatic hernias may be monitored. Surgery is generally advised for painful or enlarging hernias to prevent complications.

Q: Are there less invasive approaches for hernia surgery?

A: Yes. Many hernias can be repaired using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, which are minimally invasive and usually allow faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Q: What are the risks of delaying hernia surgery?

A: Delaying surgery can lead to complications like incarceration (a trapped hernia) or strangulation (cut-off blood supply). Both are medical emergencies requiring urgent treatment.

Q: How do I know which type of hernia I have, and does it affect treatment?

A: Hernias may be inguinal, umbilical, incisional, femoral, or hiatal. Each type has its own surgical approach, determined by clinical examination and imaging.

Q: What kind of mesh is used in hernia surgery, and are there risks?

A: Most repairs use surgical mesh to lower recurrence risk. Mesh may be synthetic, absorbable, or biologic. Rare risks include infection, chronic pain, or rejection.
