Do hernias usually develop on both sides of the body?

10% of the time.: Inguinal or groin hernias are found on both sides of the body approximately 10% of the time. One theoretical advantage of laparoscopic repair is the ability to check the opposite side and fix both simultaneously.

Can be anywhere: Abdominal wall hernias are holes through which intra abdominal contents such as fat and intestines can protrude. They most commonly occur in the groins on both sides, but can occur at the belly button, in the flanks, or even in the back!
