Our experienced team of surgeons employs state-of-the-art techniques to repair hernias effectively, minimizing recovery time and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Hernia Treatment
Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue. Laparoscopic surgery is a preferred method for hernia repair due to its minimally invasive nature..
Symptoms
Visible bulge, pain or discomfort, especially when lifting or bending
Procedure
Small incisions are made, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted. The herniated tissue is pushed back, and the muscle wall is reinforced with mesh.
Benefits
Reduced pain, smaller scars, faster recovery, and lower risk of recurrence.

Hernia Repair Surgery
Hernia repair surgery is the most common treatment for hernias, involving the repositioning of the protruded tissue and the strengthening of the weak spot in the muscle wall. There are two main types of hernia repair surgery:
Open Hernia Repair:
- Procedure: An incision is made near the hernia site. The protruding tissue is pushed back into place, and the weakened muscle area is reinforced with stitches and, often, a synthetic mesh.
- Benefits: Effective for large or complex hernias, can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
