Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/11/2014 -- A hernia is condition in which a tissue, organ or fascia of the organ protrudes through the wall of a weak muscle area. Obesity, poor nutrition, smoking, and a weak muscle area at birth are some of the causes of hernias. There are several types of hernia such as inguinal, umbilical, hiatal, femoral, and incisional. An inguinal hernia is when part of the abdominal tissue/organ protrudes into the groin area. An umbilical hernia is found in the area of the umbilicus. A hiatal hernia is when a portion of stomach protrudes through the diaphragm. A femoral hernia is when the intestine protrudes into the canal carrying the femoral artery into the upper thigh. An incisional hernia sometimes occurs if a wound from a previous surgical procedure is not completely healed. Hernia repair devices are used in procedures such as herniorrhaphy, hernioplasty, and herniotomy to correct the above mentioned types of hernia.
