Get advanced treatment for hernias with minimal downtime using laparoscopic techniques by top specialists.
A hernia is a condition where an organ or tissue bulges through an opening or weakness in the muscle or tissue that contains it. The most common types of hernias are inguinal (groin), femoral (upper thigh), umbilical (belly button), and incisional (resulting from a previous surgical incision). Hernias can be caused by muscle weakness and strain, which can be due to factors such as aging, obesity, pregnancy, chronic coughing, or heavy lifting. The most common symptom of a hernia is a swelling or lump in the abdomen or groin area. Other symptoms may include pain or discomfort, especially when lifting or bending, a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected area, and a burning or aching sensation. In some cases, hernias may not cause any symptoms and may be discovered during a routine physical exam. Surgery is the only way to effectively treat a hernia. The goal of surgery is to repair the weakened muscle or tissue and to prevent the hernia from recurring. There are two main ways to perform hernia surgery: open surgery and laparoscopy. Recovery from hernia surgery usually takes about 6 weeks, and patients should avoid strenuous activities during this period. Pain and discomfort are common after surgery, but they can be managed with pain medication.

Q: What details should I provide for a hernia repair surgery?
A: Share any imaging (ultrasound or CT), physical exam notes, symptoms, previous hernia history, and your surgeon’s recommendation.
Q: Is hernia surgery always needed?
A: Not always. Small, asymptomatic hernias may be monitored. Surgery is generally advised for painful or enlarging hernias to prevent complications.
Q: Are there less invasive approaches for hernia surgery?
A: Yes. Many hernias can be repaired using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, which are minimally invasive and usually allow faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Q: What are the risks of delaying hernia surgery?
A: Delaying surgery can lead to complications like incarceration (a trapped hernia) or strangulation (cut-off blood supply). Both are medical emergencies requiring urgent treatment.
Q: How do I know which type of hernia I have, and does it affect treatment?
A: Hernias may be inguinal, umbilical, incisional, femoral, or hiatal. Each type has its own surgical approach, determined by clinical examination and imaging.
Q: What kind of mesh is used in hernia surgery, and are there risks?
A: Most repairs use surgical mesh to lower recurrence risk. Mesh may be synthetic, absorbable, or biologic. Rare risks include infection, chronic pain, or rejection.
