Hernia repair (minimally invasive) NAN16

Hernia repair is a surgery to fix a hernia - a condition where an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place. Minimally invasive hernia repair involves small incisions, a tiny camera, and special surgical tools. This method often leads to quicker recovery, less pain, and reduced scarring compared to traditional surgery.
