Open hernia repair with mesh is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision in your groin and pushing the protruding tissue back into your abdomen. The weakened area is then sewn, often reinforcing it with a synthetic mesh (hernioplasty). This technique allows surgeons to insert two pieces of mesh, one on each side of the hernia, to provide additional reinforcement to the weakened muscle. The hernia can be supported with mesh from the inside and the outside of the opening.

Pilonidal disease is a chronic skin infection in the crease of the buttocks. People with this condition have one or more cysts in the area that tend to get inflamed and infected. A pilonidal cyst may look like a small dimple (called a "pit" or "sinus"). If a cyst gets infected (abscess), you may have redness or swelling, pus or blood drainage, and pain when walking or sitting.

Direct vs Indirect Inguinal Hernias

Direct Hernias - less common than indirect hernias. They form at a weakness in the abdominal wall next to the inguinal canal. Over time, the intestine can press through the weak area causing it to bulge into the groin. They are often caused by age-related stress and weakened muscles in the inguinal canal.

Indirect Hernias – forms at the inguinal canal. This area is prone to weakness. With time and gravity, the intestine can press into the canal. This forms a bulge in the groin. They are caused by a persistent opening that does not close during fetal development.

A hernia bulge may appear suddenly, but hernias often take years to form. They grow as pressure inside the body presses the intestines or other tissues through a weakness in the abdominal wall. It begins to forma a hernia sac. The sac may contain fate, intestine, or other tissues. At this point, the hernia may or may not cause a visible bulge.
