👉 In medical terminology, a herniotomist is a surgeon who performs a surgical procedure to remove or repair a hernia. Hernias are collections of tissue that separate from the abdomen (abdomen), and they can occur in various locations around the body such as the lower abdomen, groin area, back, and pelvis. The goal of a herniotomist is to identify and treat these hernias using minimally invasive techniques, which involve small incisions and less damage to surrounding tissues
