Abdominal Hernia Repair
Abdominal Hernia Repair – Advanced Solutions for a Stronger, Pain-Free Abdomen
Overview
An abdominal hernia occurs when an organ, intestine, or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It may appear as a visible bulge, especially when coughing, bending, or lifting.
Hernias do not heal on their own and often get larger or more painful over time. Surgical repair is the most effective way to restore abdominal strength, prevent complications, and improve quality of life. We offer both laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open repair techniques, tailored to each patient’s condition.
Types of Abdominal Hernias We Treat
Inguinal Hernia – In the groin area
Femoral Hernia – Upper thigh or groin
Umbilical Hernia – Around the belly button
Incisional Hernia – At the site of a previous surgical incision
Epigastric Hernia – Between the navel and breastbone
Spigelian Hernia – Along the side of the abdominal muscles

How the Procedure Works
Anesthesia: Performed under general or regional anesthesia for comfort.
Accessing the Hernia:
Laparoscopic repair: Several small incisions and a camera for precise repair.
Open repair: One larger incision for direct access.
Hernia Reduction: The protruding tissue is moved back into place.
Mesh Reinforcement: A surgical mesh is placed to strengthen the abdominal wall.
Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.
