Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to undergo surgery for a hernia repair tonight and as of this post, he has already done so as it was to take place after meeting with his war cabinet.
The hernia was discovered last night during a routine check up where the doctor may have place his cold hand under the Prime Minister's 'boys' and told him to cough.
Netanyahu will have a general anesthetic during the operation and thus will hand over the Prime Minister position to Israel's justice minister Yariv Levin.
A hernia is a bulging of internal organs or tissues through the wall that contains it. There are two types of hernias: herniorrhaphy and hernioplasty. Repairing a hernia is no big deal and is considered routine and poses few risks.
There are times when hernias can return at some point after surgery. There can be blood or fluid buildup in the space evacuated by the hernia and this generally gets better without treatment.
In most cases, patients can return to work within two weeks, if they have a job.
