Surgery is the only way to fix a hernia
Hello, yes, there are different surgical approaches to repair an abdominal hernia. Laparoscopic vs open approaches can be considered. Depending on the location (ventral vs inguinal) and nature of the hernia (incisional vs recurrent), as well as the size of the hernia, a surgeon may recommend one over the other. Oftentimes, the repair may require the additional reinforcement of a prosthetic mesh.
