Hernia surgery is a widely practiced surgical intervention to correct abnormal protrusions of organs or tissues through the abdominal wall, focusing on inguinal and incisional hernias. This review article addressed various surgical techniques and their clinical implications, as well as discussed post-operative complications and management strategies. For inguinal hernias, the choice between open surgery with mesh and laparoscopic approach depends on the individual patient assessment. Laparoscopic surgery offers faster recovery and less pain but requires specific skills and equipment. As for incisional hernias, the complexity of the hernia guides the choice of surgical technique, with open mesh repair for smaller cases and midline reinforcement techniques for larger hernias. In addition to techniques, managing post-operative complications is critical. Wound infections can be minimized with aseptic surgical practices and prophylactic antibiotics. Post-operative pain, including chronic pain, requires a multidisciplinary approach and careful selection of mesh materials. This constantly evolving field requires surgeons to stay updated with best practices. Future research should continue to investigate the effectiveness of surgical techniques and strategies to minimize post-operative complications. In summary, hernia surgery is pivotal in surgical practice, with a variety of approaches available. Proper technique selection and complication management are crucial for the success of the procedure and the post-operative quality of life for patients.
