The surgical repair of a hernia, usually by reducing the contents and reinforcing the defect with suture or mesh.
An open inguinal herniorrhaphy with a tension-free mesh gave the patient a low risk of recurrence.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
