Hernia surgery. Surgeons closing the wound at the end of an operation to repair a hernia in a patient's abdomen. A hernia is the abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through an opening. The most common site of hernias is the abdomen,when a weakness in the abdominal wall evolves into a localized hole,or 'defect',through which adipose (fat) tissue,or abdominal organs covered with peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity),may protrude.
