Hernia repair

Description

Hernias do not happen only to heavy lifters; a simple sneeze can put as much pressure on the abdominal walls as bench pressing 350 pounds. This program uses operating room footage, commentary by medical experts, and case histories of hernia patients to illustrate the benefits and basic techniques of laparoscopic hernia surgery. In addition, five types of hernias are identified, the benefits of high-tech mesh for reinforcing ruptures in the abdomen are discussed, and the life-threatening risk of unrepaired hernias becoming strangulated is stressed.
