Are hernias in adults different than those in children?

Are hernias in adults different than those in children?
Not quite.......the basic disease remains the same...although as pointed out above, adult surgery may need to be a little more skillful.
Yes, this is true. In adults , the natural connection that is seen in children has closed off. They develop weakness in certain areas of the abdominal wall and have hernias through them. Therefore , the surgery too is more complex than that in children
No, a hernia is a bulge of internal contents through a muscle weakness. The causes can be different in children and adults but the hernias in themselves are the same.
