What is a Hernia?
A hernia is a protrusion of tissue or organ parts through a weakened spot in the abdominal wall. It can cause discomfort, bulging, pain – and in some cases, serious complications if left untreated. Common types include:
- Inguinal hernia (groin area)
- Umbilical hernia (near the navel)
- Femoral hernia (upper thigh area)
- Hiatal hernia (stomach protrudes through diaphragm)
- Incisional hernia (at the site of previous surgery)
- Spigelian or epigastric hernia (less common types)
Symptoms That May Indicate a Hernia:
- Visible or palpable bulge in the abdomen or groin
- Pain during lifting, coughing, or physical activity
- A feeling of pressure or heaviness
- Digestive symptoms (esp. in hiatal hernias)
- Increasing discomfort or swelling
The Treatment Pathway
1. Initial Consultation & Imaging
- Thorough examination by a specialist surgeon
- High-resolution ultrasound or CT scan to assess the hernia size, location, and complexity
2. Personalised Surgical Plan
- Choice of the optimal surgical method based on your hernia type, lifestyle, and overall health
- You will be informed in detail and have time to ask all your questions
3. Minimally Invasive Repair
- Whenever possible, we perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery with mesh reinforcement to reduce recurrence risk and speed up recovery
- For complex or recurrent hernias, open surgery may be advised
4. Recovery & Aftercare
- Most patients can return home within 24–48 hours
- Return to normal activity is typically possible within 1–2 weeks (depending on procedure)
- Follow-up care and physical activity advice included
When Should You Consider Surgery?
Hernias rarely resolve on their own – and in some cases, they can lead to complications like incarceration or strangulation (restricted blood flow). Early treatment is recommended if:
- You experience pain or restriction in daily life
- The hernia is enlarging
- You are physically active or planning surgery or travel
- You have cosmetic concerns
