Tension-Free Hernia Repair

Tension-Free Hernia Repair is a surgical procedure to fix a hernia—an area where tissue pushes through a weak spot in your abdominal muscles. The surgeon places a nylon or similar synthetic mesh over or under the hernia opening, reinforcing the muscle wall without pulling or stressing the tissue. This method helps prevent the hernia from coming back, reduces pain, and often allows for quicker recovery. It is a common, effective approach that strengthens the area while minimizing tension on the surrounding tissues.
