Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgery operations worldwide, used to correct a bulge in the groin caused by tissue pushing through a weakness in the abdominal wall. The procedure reinforces that weakness — almost always with a synthetic mesh — to prevent the hernia from returning and to relieve pain, discomfort, or the risk of complications such as bowel strangulation. Repair can be performed through a single open incision in the groin or through several small incisions using a laparoscopic or robotic approach. Most adults undergoing elective repair are discharged the same day or after one night in hospital, and the majority return to desk work within one to two weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous activity are typically restricted for four to six weeks to allow the repair to fully integrate.
A single groin incision is made and a flat piece of synthetic mesh is stitched over the weakened area; can be done under local, spinal, or general anaesthesia.
