The Hernia website explains in great detail what hernias are, and the different surgical options to remove them. As the site explains, there is a very wide scope when it comes to repairing hernias, and in the outcome of the various surgical procedures.
The information itself is provided by the British Hernia Institute, and it is presented in an interactive manner. For instance, by placing the cursor on a human figure the different kind of hernias are names, and by means of a mouse click they are explained. There is information on recurrent, incisional, and other complex hernias, highlighting why they are so difficult to repair or eradicate. Another page deals with hernias during a pregnancy, and the precautions that should be taken in said event. Moreover, there is a whole section that details the characteristics of paediatric hernias, which can actually occur at any age, but tend to appear during infancy. Statistics are provided about the occurrence of both right and left side hernias. Finally, the site also covers stoma and hiatus hernias. A FAQ page is provided for further information.
