Junior

Junior has had the surgery he needed for a scrotal hernia.

A scrotal hernia is a type of inguinal hernia that occurs when a loop of bowel passes through the inguinal canal and into the scrotum.  Like all hernias they can be painless but risk of complications (incarceration or strangulation) which are serious and life threatening.

If complications set in emergency surgery is needed but as our patients live far from medical care this isn't an option hence why operating on hernias is so important.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the XNRG Amersham Ultra for helping us fund Junior's operation.
