Bilateral Inguinal Hernia- bilateral (meaning both sides) hernia is a type of inguinal or groin hernia that occurs in both sides of the lower abdomen. Hernias may not be painful when they first occur. However if left unattended the weak spot can grow and simple acts like coughing, sneezing or lifting heavy objects can be painful.
Cholecystectomy- also known as gallbladder removal surgery, is a very common procedure. The gallbladder is a small, pouch-like organ in the upper right part of your stomach. It stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fatty foods.

Umbilical Hernia- an umbilical hernia occurs when part of your intestine bulges through the opening in your abdominal muscles near your bellybutton (navel). Umbilical hernias are common and typically harmless. Umbilical hernias are most common in infants, but they can affect adults as well.
Ventral Hernia- a ventral hernia is a sac (pouch) formed from the inner lining of your stomach that pushes through a hole in the abdominal wall. Ventral hernias often occur at the site of an old surgical cut (incision). This type of hernia is also called incisional hernia.
