Hernia repair in San Luis Potosí, Mexico
Hernia repair in San Luis Potosí, Mexico treats inguinal, umbilical and other abdominal wall hernias, often with minimally invasive techniques and mesh. Dr. Luis Alberto Muñoz Vigna offers evaluation, surgery and follow-up for international patients seeking affordable, quality care.
What is a hernia and when should it be repaired?
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, creating a bulge. Hernias do not resolve on their own and tend to grow, so surgery is usually the recommended treatment. The right timing depends on the type of hernia and your symptoms.
How the surgery works
Hernia repair can be performed open or laparoscopically, usually reinforcing the wall with a mesh to lower the chance of recurrence. Dr. Muñoz recommends the most appropriate technique for your case and explains the options.

Inguinal hernia (groin)
