    ^theres all you need to know. i dont think its fatal. but good luck!


  2. A hernia is a weakened spot in a muscle that allows the protrusion of internal organs.

    As with ALL types of surgery, there is a risk of having a adverse and sometimes fatal reaction to the anesthesia, hemorrhaging or blod clot, etc. etc.

    Once again, as with ALL surgeries, there is a risk of dieing...some pose a greater risk than others...hernia repair is not one of them.  

  3. First off, he should have it checked out by a dr. asap.

    1.) A hernia is a bulge or protrusion (weakened spot) in a body wall...may develop in various parts of the body, but is most common in the abdominal or groin (inguinal) area.  

    2.) Though a hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, there are risks to ANY surgery.

    3.) Not likely.
