| | There’s a small chance of continuing pain in the groin area, caused by the handling of a nerve during surgery, or by the pressure on the nerves by scar tissue that forms during healing. | | | Feeling sick as a result of the anaesthetic or painkillers is also quite common, and medicines are available to help avoid this. | | | Alternatively, the operation may be performed as "keyhole" surgery (laparoscopic), through small incisions in the skin using special instruments. |

| | Incarcerated (trapped) or strangulated hernias are often painful and must be treated with surgery because the blood supply to the organ trapped within the hernia can be interrupted, leading to gangrene within the hernial sac. | | | An inguinal hernia usually causes no distress, but hernias within the abdominal cavity can cause intense pain. | | | A diaphragmatic or hiatus hernia is one in which part of the stomach or a loop of the intestine herniates upward through an opening in the diaphragm into the chest cavity. |
