What are the other types of hernias?
Hernias can also occur in many other areas of the body including the groin (inguinal or femoral hernia), the middle of the abdomen (epigastric hernia), in the diaphragm (which is the muscle between the abdomen and chest), and around the esophagus (hiatal hernia). While this website contains information primarily about ventral hernias, more information can be found about other types of hernias and treatment options in the Recommended Websites section.
