Hernia Surgery

A laparoscopic (minimally invasive) hernia surgery uses a small incision into which the laparoscope is inserted. The instruments to repair the hernia are inserted through other small incisions in the lower abdomen. This procedure (Laparoscopic surgery) is usually performed under general anesthesia, so before the surgery, patient will have an evaluation of his/her general state of health. There is no or less pain during this surgery. Dr Tejas Savdekar is Doctor for Hernia Repair Surgery in Dombivali.

Abdominal Hernia

A hernia occurs when an organ protrudes through the wall of muscle that encircles it. There are several different types of hernias that can occur in the abdominal and surrounding areas. These include umbilical hernias, epigastric hernias, incisional hernias, and others. Dr Tejas Savdekar is Doctor for Hernia Repair Surgery in Dombivali.

Umbilical Hernia : An umbilical hernia occurs when a weak spot in the belly allows a bit of fat, fluid, or intestine to push through, creating a lump or bulge near the belly button. Umbilical hernias frequently occur in infants. In most cases, these hernias will heal on their own. Occasionally, however, surgery may be required. Umbilical hernias also occur in adults, particularly those with health issues that cause increased pressure in the belly. Those issues may include obesity, pregnancy, chronic coughing or constipation, and difficulty urinating.

Ventral Hernia : A hernia occurs when there is a hole in the muscles of the abdominal wall, allowing a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push through the muscle layer. A ventral hernia is a hernia that occurs at any location along the midline (vertical center) of the abdomen wall.

Epigastric Hernia : An epigastric hernia occurs when a weakened area in the abdominal wall allows a bit of fat to push through. Epigastric hernias are typically small. They occur in the middle of the belly, in the area between the belly button and the breastbone. Dr Tejas Savdekar is Doctor for Hernia Repair Surgery in Dombivali.

Incisional Hernia : A hernia that occurs in the area of a previous surgery is known as an incisional hernia. These hernias may occur when the abdominal wall has been weakened by surgery, or when a surgical incision becomes infected, further weakening the area. Incisional hernias are relatively common because surgical incisions weaken the abdominal area. That weakness makes it easier for a part of the intestine or other tissue to protrude. Incisional hernias can develop soon after surgery, or they can develop slowly, over months or even years. They typically occur alongside vertical incisions. Incisional hernias tend to be large and rather painful.

Groin Hernia

Inguinal Hernia : An inguinal hernia happens in your groin, in a passageway called the inguinal canal. You might see a bulge on one side of your pelvic bone. It’s caused by abdominal tissue pushing through an opening in your lower abdominal wall. The opening may be congenital (present at birth), or due to normal, age-related muscle degeneration.

Femoral Hernia : Femoral hernias sometimes appear as a painful lump in the inner upper part of the thigh or groin. The lump can often be pushed back in or disappears when you lie down. Coughing or straining may make the lump appear.

Inguinoscrotal Hernia : Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical diseases encountered in adults as well as in children. Though rare, giant inguinoscrotal hernias are reported in adults, however, are rarely reported in children. Dr Tejas Savdekar is Doctor for Hernia Repair Surgery in Dombivali
