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
