Ventral hernia repair is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing the protrusion of abdominal tissue through a weakened area in the abdominal wall, known as a ventral hernia. This repair is recommended when the hernia causes discomfort, pain, or poses a risk of complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation. The decision for surgery is based on factors like the size and location of the hernia, the patient’s symptoms, and overall health.
