Treatments we offer

Hernias don’t simply disappear without surgical removal. At Fairfield clinics, our expert surgeons perform the best surgical procedures for treating Hernias based on their type and size.

1. Open Hernia Repair

Treatments we offer

This is the oldest form of hernia surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon makes the cut right over the hernia on your skin to reach the hernia. The bulged tissue is positioned back to its correct location and the hernia sac is removed. The skin and the weakened muscle opening through which the hernia had bulged are closed with sutures.

2. Hernioplasty (Mesh Repair)

Treatments we offer

In Hernioplasty, the surgeon uses a mesh instead of closing the muscle opening with sutures. Hernia mesh, also known as surgical mesh, is a flat, sterile sheet of plastic or biological material that is used to cover the hernia (use of surgical mesh can decrease operative time and speed up recovery time). The surgeon stitches the mesh into the healthy tissues that surround the hernia. This enables the damaged tissue to use the mesh and support to regrow.

3. Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Treatments we offer

This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. It is done by making small incisions (1 to 4 in number) in the abdomen (upper and lower abdomen) using a laparoscope (a thin flexible tube with an attached camera that provides a live image of the inside of your body which is projected on the monitor).

The surgeon slowly moves the herniated body part to its original position by placing a mesh patch over the weakened portion of the abdominal wall.
The mesh is then secured with the help of staples or stitches.
The incision is then closed with sutures (stitches).

4. Robotic Hernia Repair

Treatments we offer

The procedure is the same as laparoscopic hernia repair but here, electronic devices with high tech cameras, smaller incisions are used to aid the surgeon during the procedure. In robotic surgery, it is the robotic hands that perform the surgery, which is controlled by the surgeon sitting on the console and controlling them to perform the surgery/procedure. Robotic surgery in hernias is used for smaller hernias and to repair the abdominal wall.

What is Hernia?

A Hernia is a bulging, inflated protrusion that usually occurs within the abdominal cavity, causing intense pain and discomfort. Hernia grows when an organ breaks through a weakened spot in the area surrounding it, causing it to bulge out of the skin.

1. What Are The Types of Hernia?

Hernias are classified according to their location and their type.

According to their location: Inguinal hernia (most common), Incisional Hernia (due to scar tissue), Femoral Hernia (more common in females), Umbilical Hernia (at or near the belly button), Hiatal Hernia (part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest)
According to their type: Reducible (hernia can be pushed back into the original opening), irreducible (hernia cannot be pushed back into the original opening) and strangulated (when an organ becomes trapped inside the hernia, blocking its blood supply)

2. What Causes a Hernia?

A hernia develops as a result of muscle weakness and strain at birth or some other point in your life. Common causes include:

Developmental defects in your abdominal wall that is present since birth
Weakened scar tissue of a previous surgery
Lifting heavy objects
Advancing age
Persistent cough
Obesity
Strenuous exercises
Persistent straining at stools
Diarrhoea (watery stools)

Additionally, poor nutrition, smoking and overexertion can also result in the development of a hernia.

3. What Are The Common Symptoms of Hernia?

In some cases, you may not experience any symptoms and may be identified during a routine health checkup. Usual symptoms include:

A lump or a bulge in the area where the hernia has developed that may increase in size on standing or coughing or on bending down and the disappearance of the lump/bulge on lying down
Pain in and around the lump
Pain during lifting objects/bending
Difficulty in swallowing, pain in abdomen and acid regurgitation (common in hiatal hernia)

4. How is Hernia Diagnosed?

Your surgeon will take your medical history and perform a physical examination. During the examination, your doctor may feel the lump in the area and also ask you to cough, stand and sit to check for the change in the size of the bulge/lump. Your surgeon may also advise radiological investigations like Ultrasound of your abdomen (USG Abdomen), CT scan (Computed tomography scan), MRI scan (Magnetic resonance imaging scan) or an Endoscopy to arrive at the diagnosis.

5. How to Prepare For Hernia Surgery?

Your doctor will ask about your medical history and any medications that you are currently taking. Keep your doctor informed in case you have an allergy to any drugs. You will need to stop medications such as blood thinners a few days before the surgery as these can cause excess bleeding during and after the surgery.

6. What is Postoperative Care After Hernia Surgery?

a. At the hospital: You will spend 1-2 hours in the recovery room after your surgery. Your vitals (body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure) will be monitored closely.

b. At home: To speed up post-surgery recovery:

Take ample rest.
You may experience pain for a few days after the hernia surgery. Take painkillers as advised by your doctor.
Continue your medications.
Avoid any strenuous physical activity.
Continue with your normal diet. Try and eat bland, low-fat foods for a few days.
Drink plenty of water and use a laxative or stool softener (after consulting your doctor) to avoid constipation.
Take a shower only 24 to 48 hours after the surgery after checking with your doctor.
Change your wound dressing regularly as per the doctor’s advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hernias be treated with medication?

Normally, hernias require surgery, but in hiatal hernia, a type that occurs when a part of the stomach pushes into the chest cavity, sticking to a healthy diet and consuming small portions of food during the day can help reduce the symptoms.

Who should I consult for Hernia treatment?

Hernia surgeries are usually performed by general surgeons or laparoscopic surgeons.

Are there any complications associated with Hernia surgeries?

Though complications with Hernia surgeries are rare, they include infection, bleeding from the surgical site, tingling, and numbness in the affected area. These symptoms however don’t occur when your surgery is performed by expert doctors.

Do I need to contact my doctor post surgery?

After surgery, you should contact your doctor if you experience high fever, severe pain, bleeding, or foul-smelling fluids oozing from the site of surgery.

What are the follow-up procedures post treatment?

Your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment 7-10 days after the surgery, to ensure complete recovery. Stitches will also be removed during the appointment.

How much does a Hernia surgery cost?

The cost depends on the kind of surgery. Open Hernia surgeries cost between INR 30,000 and INR 60,000, while Laparoscopic surgeries cost INR 80,000. These costs may vary according to the procedure, complexities associated with the disease, institution, and geographical location.

Some general advice to follow after the surgery

The recovery period depends on the type of procedure. Most people can resume their regular activities within 2-3 weeks of their surgery. During this period, you will be prescribed medication (painkillers and antibiotics), to prevent any bacterial infections. In the first days after the hernia surgery, you would experience some pain. You can follow these tips to speed up your recovery:

Rest whenever you feel tired or feverish.
Don’t take a shower for 24 - 48 hours after the surgery to keep the incision site dry. Confirm this time period with your doctor.
Avoid moving too much or performing any strenuous physical activity until complete recovery. Consult your doctor as to when you can resume physical activities (exercises or sports).
Continue your normal diet and eat bland, low-fat foods for a few days.
Drink plenty of water and use a laxative or stool softener (after consulting your doctor) to avoid constipation.
Follow all guidelines given by your doctor to dress the incision site properly.
