Video - Surgeons have used a new technique to fix a giant hernia which bulged to the size of a football

67-year-old Glenn Williams had suffered two years of misery after complications following bowel cancer surgery left him with a hernia which measured some 20cm x 30cm - around 10 times the size usual size.

Mr Williams, from Mowmacre, said: “At last I can look in the mirror again and not find my reflection repulsive. “I am over the moon - having a normal body not having people stare at me is just amazing.”
