Hernia surgery is performed to repair a weakness or tear in the abdominal wall that allows organs or tissues to bulge out. Hernias can cause pain, discomfort, or complications if left untreated. Surgical repair is the most effective way to correct hernias, relieve symptoms, and prevent future problems. At our center, we offer advanced hernia surgery techniques, including laparoscopic and open methods, to provide safe, precise, and long-lasting results.

Hernia Surgery
Hernia surgery involves repairing the abdominal wall and reinforcing it to prevent recurrence. The choice of surgical approach depends on the hernia type, location, size, patient health, and previous surgeries. Common types of hernias include inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and femoral hernias.
Surgery can be performed using:
- Open Hernia Surgery: Traditional method with a larger incision
- Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery: Minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera
Types of Hernia Surgery
These advanced surgeries are performed using minimally invasive robotic techniques, providing safer outcomes and quicker recovery.
Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. This technique is ideal for recurrent, bilateral, or complex hernias.
Advantages:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery and return to daily activities
- Lower risk of wound infection
Open Hernia Surgery
Open hernia repair is a traditional approach performed through a single incision directly over the hernia site. It is often used for large hernias, complicated cases, or when laparoscopic surgery is not suitable.
Advantages:
- Direct access to the hernia
- Effective for large or complex hernias
- Well-established and proven long-term outcomes
Pre-Surgical Preparation
Most patients with symptomatic hernias, increasing bulge size, or risk of complications are candidates for surgery. Dr. Gandhi evaluates each patient carefully, taking into account:
- Hernia type and location
- Hernia size and severity
- Patient’s overall health and fitness
- Previous abdominal surgeries
This ensures the safest and most effective surgical approach is selected.
Recovery & Aftercare
After hernia surgery, patients can expect:
- Smaller or single incision depending on surgery type
- Shorter hospital stay (1–3 days for laparoscopic surgery, slightly longer for open repair)
- Gradual return to normal activities
- Personalized guidance on diet, lifting restrictions, and exercise
- Follow-up visits to monitor healing and prevent recurrence
