Aren't hernias usually repairable by surgery? Both of the folks I know who had them had a pretty quick recovery.

What the surgery actually does is fix 2 disks of your spinal column against each other. It lowers the pain from torture to tolerable and reduces various risks. Also: you won't be so much as sitting up for months. I don't think many people will call that repair. Perhaps mitigation.
I think you are both talking about slightly different things:
* Herniated disk in the spine * A "hernia": is the abnormal exit of tissue or an organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides.[
That's called a "fistel" and it's a very serious condition, requires immediate surgery, and recognizable by the smell from roughly a kilometer away.
