What Is A Floating Hernia And How To Treat It?
My elderly nephew (77) has been told he has a floating hernia and surgery is recommended. I cannot find any information about "floating" hernias with a GOOGLE search, nor possible alternative remedies. Do you have any suggestions about alternatives, and what is a floating hernia?
