Hernia is a common health problem that can sometimes cause life-threatening complications if left untreated. A hernia occurs when an intestine or any abdominal organ pushes through the muscle layer due to a tear or defect in the muscles. There are many types of hernia, but the most common are found in the groin (inguinal and femoral) and umbilical area. Other types of hernia include epigastric, ventral or incisional hernia, obturator hernia, and hiatus hernia, mesh in hernia repair.
