Inguinal hernias do not resolve spontaneously or improve with medication. Therefore, once diagnosed, surgical intervention is the sole effective treatment. The primary objective of hernia surgery is to reposition the herniated sac into its correct anatomical location within the abdomen or to excise it. A crucial aspect of the procedure involves repairing the underlying fascial defect that led to the herniation and reinforcing the area with a surgical mesh to prevent recurrence. Prior to surgery, anesthesia options include local, general, or spinal (regional) anesthesia. Inguinal hernia repairs can be performed using either open or minimally invasive (laparoscopic/closed) surgical techniques.
