Hernia Repair

Dr. Y. SATISH REDDY

What is Hernia Repair?

Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct bulges that occur when internal organs push through weak spots in the abdominal wall.

Signs and Symptoms

Common symptoms include a visible lump, pain or discomfort while lifting, coughing, or standing, and a heavy or dragging sensation in the abdomen.

When is Surgery Needed?

Surgery is advised when the hernia causes pain, enlarges, or risks complications like strangulation. It can be performed laparoscopically or by open method.

Benefits of Surgery

Repairing a hernia prevents serious complications, relieves discomfort, and strengthens the abdominal wall. Minimally invasive techniques also offer quicker healing and less scarring.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients resume daily activities within one to two weeks. Rest, avoiding heavy lifting, and follow-up visits ensure a safe and full recovery.
