Hernia Surgery

Hernias can cause discomfort, pain, and potential complications if left untreated. Dr. Aasima Boxwalla, a leading Consultant in Surgical Gastroenterology, G.I., and HPB Oncology, specializes in hernia surgery, offering advanced, minimally invasive solutions to treat a variety of hernias while ensuring faster recovery, reduced pain, and optimal outcomes.

Understanding Hernia Surgery

A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue. Common types of hernias include inguinal hernias (in the groin), umbilical hernias (around the belly button), femoral hernias (in the upper thigh), and incisional hernias (in areas where previous surgery was performed).

Hernia surgery involves the repair of the defect or weak area in the abdominal wall to prevent further herniation and reduce the risk of complications like strangulation or obstruction. The surgery can be performed using traditional open techniques or through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, depending on the hernia’s type and complexity.

The Role of Hernia Surgery in Treating Hernias

Hernia surgery is necessary when the hernia causes pain, discomfort, or other complications, such as:

• Groin Pain: In cases of inguinal or femoral hernias, pain in the groin area that worsens with activity.
• Abdominal Discomfort: Pain or discomfort around the abdomen, especially when lifting heavy objects.
• Bowel Obstruction: A hernia can cause a blockage in the intestines, leading to nausea, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain.
• Strangulation Risk: When blood flow to the herniated organ is compromised, it can become a medical emergency.

Surgery is the most effective way to resolve these issues and prevent future hernia-related complications.

• Open Hernia Repair: Involves a single incision to access the hernia, repair the defect, and reinforce the area, often with mesh.
• Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A minimally invasive option where several small incisions are made, and a laparoscope is used to guide the repair of the hernia. This method reduces pain and recovery time.
• Robotic-Assisted Hernia Surgery: An advanced form of laparoscopic surgery that provides enhanced precision and control.
• Tension-Free Hernia Repair: A technique that uses a synthetic mesh to strengthen the abdominal wall and reduce the risk of recurrence.
