Hernia is formed when an organ of your body pushes through an opening in the muscles which holds the organ in its place. Hernia is caused by excess strain and muscle weakness. It may happen due to weightlifting, coughing, aging, pregnancy, constipation, obesity etc. The common symptom for hernia is a bulge in the affected area which can be felt with your fingers. This lump is more palpable when you are standing and disappears when you lie down. There might be pain in the bulge area while coughing. Most of the hernias can be easily diagnosed during a physical examination by the doctor. The imaging tests of Ultrasound Scan, CT Scan or MRI Scan can be used to confirm the diagnosis. For Hiatus hernia, Barium X-Ray or Endoscopy may also be useful in diagnosis. The different types of hernias are Inguinal, Hiatus, Umbilical, Incisional and Ventral. If the hernia is not increasing in size or is not giving any kind of pain then it can be left untreated. However the danger is that the hernia might cause intestinal obstruction or might get twisted which can present as an emergency in which surgery would have to be done on an urgent basis.
If the hernia is not causing any problems then surgery may not be required at this point. In some cases wearing tight compression garment helps in keeping the hernia in check. Losing body weight, doing exercises to strengthen the muscles around the hernia and eating fibre rich diet which eases constipation would help in the management of hernia without surgery. However surgery still remains the only permanent treatment for hernia. The surgery is mostly done by giving an incision near the site of the hernia and the surgeon uses a mesh to tie-up the hernia so that it cannot grow in size any further. The surgery can also be done laparoscopically but is less common in cases of hernia as compared to the other abdominal surgeries. The hospital stay would be 2-3 days and the patient would need 10-15 days for recovery after the surgery. The recovery in laparoscopic surgery would be faster and the hospital stay would also be shorter. The most common problem in hernia surgery is infection acquired during the surgery which gets the mesh infected and does not respond to antibiotics. In such cases redo surgery is needed to remove the mesh and you are back to square one.
Kalyani Hospital, Gurugram offers expert care and surgical treatment for all types of hernia conditions, including inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and hiatal hernias. Our team of highly experienced surgeons uses both open and laparoscopic techniques to ensure effective results with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial in preventing complications such as pain, intestinal blockage, or strangulation. Whether it’s a small reducible hernia or a more complex case, our specialists evaluate your condition carefully and recommend the most suitable surgical approach.
With laparoscopic hernia repair, patients typically experience smaller incisions and minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays (usually 1–2 days), and a quicker return to daily activities (within a week). This approach also results in reduced post-operative pain and lowers the risk of recurrence. We also provide comprehensive insurance assistance, helping you navigate policy coverage, pre-authorizations, and room rent eligibility.
