Herniorrhaphy: What to Expect with Hernia Repair Surgery

A hernia is when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak area of muscle. This is most common in the abdomen. Hernia repair surgery may be called a hernioplasty or herniorrhaphy. During this surgery, the displaced tissue is returned back into the body and the weak spot is stitched or patched up.
