A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It may cause swelling, pain, or a visible bulge, especially during activities like lifting heavy objects or coughing.
If left untreated, a hernia can lead to serious complications. Timely surgical intervention ensures long-term relief and prevents further issues.
Surgical options for hernia repair vary depending on the type and severity of the hernia. Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive technique that involves small incisions, resulting in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Open hernia repair is often recommended for larger or more complicated hernias; it involves a short hospital stay and is a highly effective and widely used method. In certain cases, robotic-assisted surgery may be available, offering enhanced precision and control, making it an ideal choice for complex or recurrent hernias.
