Hernia Treatment - Universal Hospital

Femoral Hernia

A femoral hernia occurs when a portion of tissue, often the intestine, protrudes through a weak point or tear in the abdominal wall in the area of the femoral canal. Surgical repair is typically required to address femoral hernias.

Incisional Hernia

An incisional hernia develops at the site of a previous surgical incision, where the abdominal muscles may have weakened or separated. Surgical repair is common to treat incisional hernias.

Umbilical Hernia

An umbilical hernia involves the protrusion of abdominal tissue, often near or around the navel (umbilicus). Surgical repair may be recommended to address umbilical hernias, particularly if they cause pain or complications.

Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and into the chest cavity. Surgery may be considered for hiatal hernias that cause significant symptoms, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
