A hernia is a separtation or opening in the abdominal wall muscles which is not supposed to be there. This is an extremely common condition. The hernia may exist in many different locations, but most are in the groin (inguinal), under the belly-button (umbilical) or arising through an old incision (ventral or incisional). Hernias cause pain and can be disabling. In addition, intestine can sometimes become trapped within the hernia which can be a surgical emergency.
