You poor chook. Surgery is one of the most common forms of treatment for inguinal hernia's. It is a relatively simple proceedure (been a while since I partook in one so memory a little fuzzy). They make an incision and cut as much of the hernia away as possible then put a mesh in and sew the muscle and skin back together. All done under a GA and minimal recovery time. Very common though. I recall doing 4 in one day. Sorry I can't give more detail - as I said, it has been awhile. Your GP will need to refer you to a surgeon. I have a brilliant General Surgeon in Melbourne if you are in Vic. I'm not 100% sure if he does this kind of surgery but as a general surgeon I would imagine he would. If you want his details I'll PM them to you.
