Aren't hernias usually repairable by surgery? Both of the folks I know who had them had a pretty quick recovery.

What the surgery actually does is fix 2 disks of your spinal column against each other. It lowers the pain from torture to tolerable and reduces various risks. Also: you won't be so much as sitting up for months. I don't think many people will call that repair. Perhaps mitigation.

I think you are both talking about slightly different things:

* Herniated disk in the spine * A "hernia": is the abnormal exit of tissue or an organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides.[
