Single Incision Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery Singapore
Hernia Surgery Singapore: Hernias occur when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue holding it in place. Hernias are most common in the abdomen, but they can also appear in the upper thigh, belly button, and groin areas. The hernia can cause severe pain and potentially serious problems that could require emergency surgery.
Types of hernias
