Inguinal hernia repair is a surgical procedure that reinforces the abdominal wall to treat groin hernias.

Overview


Inguinal hernia repair is a surgical procedure to treat a bulge in the lower abdominal wall caused by tissue pushing through a weak spot in the groin area. This condition can cause discomfort, pain, and complications if left untreated.

The procedure reinforces the weakened abdominal wall, either by suturing the tissue together or using a mesh for additional support. It can be performed using open surgery or a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, depending on the patient’s condition and medical needs.


When is Surgery Recommended?


Inguinal hernia surgery is recommended for individuals experiencing pain, discomfort, or a bulge in the groin that worsens with physical activity. It is necessary when the hernia grows larger or becomes irreducible, meaning it cannot be pushed back in.

Surgery is also required if there is a risk of strangulation, where trapped tissue loses blood supply, leading to severe pain, nausea, or vomiting. Since inguinal hernias do not heal on their own, surgical repair is the most effective long-term solution to prevent complications and recurrence.


Procedure Details


Inguinal hernia repair is performed using either an open or laparoscopic approach to reinforce the abdominal wall and prevent the hernia from recurring.


Anesthesia is administered for patient comfort.

An incision is made in the groin area or small laparoscopic incisions are created.

The herniated tissue is pushed back into place.

The weakened area is reinforced with sutures or a surgical mesh.

The incisions are closed, and the procedure is completed.


Recovery


Recovery varies based on the surgical method used. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, while full recovery may take a few weeks. Pain and swelling are common but manageable with medication.

We provide personalized aftercare instructions, including activity restrictions, wound care, and dietary recommendations. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of recurrence.
