Hernia repair pushes tissue back into place and closes the weak spot in the muscle wall, usually with mesh. Groin (inguinal) and belly button (umbilical) hernias are the most common. Most repairs are same-day surgery, done open or laparoscopically, and the price depends on the type, size and whether the hernia came back after an earlier repair.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for a bundled self-pay price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, facility and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
- Ask whether the mesh is included in the price.
- Ambulatory surgery centers usually charge much less than hospitals for the same repair.
