What Is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), hiatal (upper stomach), and incisional hernias.

Left untreated, hernias rarely heal on their own and can lead to serious complications, including strangulation — a surgical emergency. Laparoscopic repair is minimally invasive, performed through tiny incisions, with faster recovery and lower recurrence rates than open surgery.

At Gastro Cirugía Avanzada, our board-certified surgeons perform hundreds of hernia repairs every year across our three locations in Tijuana, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta.
