Hernia Surgery

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue wall. Hernias are a common surgical condition and, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications. Dr. Parvati R. Falegaonkar offers expert open and laparoscopic hernia repair with a focus on patient comfort and durable results.

Types of Hernia

Inguinal Hernia

The most common type, occurring in the inner groin. Tissue, often part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles.

Umbilical Hernia

Occurs near the navel when part of the intestine bulges through the abdominal wall.

Incisional Hernia

Develops through a scar from a previous abdominal surgery.

Femoral Hernia

A less common type occurring just below the groin in the upper thigh area, more frequent in women.

Epigastric Hernia

Occurs between the navel and lower part of the sternum through the abdominal muscles.

Symptoms

  • A visible bulge in the groin, abdomen, or navel area
  • Discomfort or pain at the bulge site, especially when bending, coughing, or lifting
  • A feeling of weakness or pressure in the groin
  • Aching or burning sensation at the site of the bulge
  • Nausea and vomiting in complicated hernias

Surgical Treatment

Open Hernia Repair (Herniorrhaphy / Hernioplasty)

A single incision is made near the hernia. The protruding tissue is pushed back and the weakened muscle wall is stitched together or reinforced with a synthetic mesh.

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

A minimally invasive technique using small incisions, a laparoscope, and mesh to repair the hernia with less pain and faster recovery.
