The application of restorative justice in cases of sexual violence in Indonesia actually has the potential to cause major losses for victims, resulting in victims not getting the right to recovery for what they experienced and the perpetrators being free from responsibility for the criminal punishment they should receive. This research aims to find out and explain efforts that can be made to prevent and overcome the recurrence of gang rape cases whose investigations have been stopped for reasons of restorative justice. The research method used is Normative Law research which obtains data from secondary data consisting of primary legal material, secondary legal material and tertiary legal material, with systematic identification of Legal Norms. The research results show that the practice of marrying the perpetrator to the victim in rape cases is often considered a form of restorative justice. In fact, the application of restorative justice in cases of sexual violence in Indonesia actually has the potential to cause major losses for the victim. As a result, victims do not get the right to recovery for what they experienced and the perpetrators are free from responsibility for the criminal punishment they should receive.  Using crime prevention theory, it was found that the criminal justice process is the key to providing a deterrent effect to criminals or to people who have the potential to commit the same crime, so this process must be carried out well so that the application of criminal law can have an impact on not repeating the same criminal act. by the perpetrator. Settlement of sexual violence cases using peace mechanisms or marrying the victim to the perpetrator is completely unjustified and will always be detrimental to the victim. If victims do not receive the justice they hope for, more victims of sexual violence will be reluctant to resolve their cases through law enforcement mechanisms. It is hoped that the government, especially law enforcement officials, will need to evaluate the provisions for implementing restorative justice in cases of sexual violence and revise technical regulations that strengthen protection and recovery for victims.

Hernia is the protrusion or protrusion of the contents of a cavity through a defect or a weak part of the cavity wall concerned. In an abdominal hernia, the abdominal contents protrude through a defect or a weak part of the musculoaponeurotic layer of the abdominal wall. The hernia consists of a ring, pouch and hernia contents (1). The incidence rate of inguinal hernia (medial and lateralis) is 10 times more than femoral hernia and both have a percentage of about 75- 80% of all types of hernia, incisional hernia 10 %, ventral hernia 10 %, umbilical hernia 3 %, and other hernia about 3%. Hernia surgery using a mesh is one of the most common actions performed in general surgery. With the installation of a mesh on an inguinal hernia can reduce the recurrence rate by less than 5%. This technique can also reduce the presentation of postoperative pain so that patients can quickly return to their daily activities. Another advantage with using the mesh method is that it reduces the pressure on the seam line and reduces long-term follow-up.

Radiotherapy is a treatment for cancer using high-energy radiation, usually X-rays. The type and amount of radiation received is calculated by oncologists and medical physicists to destroy cancer cells, these cells are abnormal cells. This stops the cancer cells from dividing properly and as a result the cancer cells are destroyed. This treatment is planned to protect healthy tissue as much as possible from radiation which has destructive properties, however some healthy tissue can be affected which will later cause side effects. Radiotherapy uses a Linear Accelerato (LINAC) device in its treatment. The LINAC can produce two beams, namely photons and electrons. Photon beams are usually used to illuminate tumors in deeper tissue in the body, for example breast cancer, cervical cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, while electron beams are used for cancer therapy in surface tumors. The role of radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer has a long and controversial history. One of the first clinical trials ever conducted, it began in 1949, and remains the subject of new trials still being initiated today. Early trials clearly showed that radiotherapy reduced local recurrence, with a relative risk reduction now known to be approximately 70%, but a reduction in recurrence rates did not translate into a reduction in mortality. Theories explaining this difference are numerous, including the detrimental effects of radiotherapy on immune function.
