Abstract: Protrusion or displacement of an organ or part of tissue outside the body cavity was presented for surgical management (n=8); where 25% were males (n=2) and rest all 75% were females (n=6). Amongst type of hernia lateral and umbilical hernia both were 3 each, while remaining 2 were ventral hernia; where all hernia were acquired except umbilical hernia, which might be genetic in origin. Smaller hernial rings (<5 finger) were surgically managed by herniorrhaphy, whereas larger hernial rings were corrected by placing nylon mesh for hernioplasty procedure under xylazine sedation along with lignocaine local anaesthesia infiltration. Recovery rate was observed 100% in herniorrhaphy, whereas 50% recurrence was recorded in hernioplasty. Hernioplasty complication was observed in one cases; where ulcer formed by friction and gradually nylon mesh exposed. Overall recovery time was recorded 12 days for herniorrhaphy, while 20-28 days for hernioplasty which includes 2^nd attempt of hernioplasty in two cases.
