Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery in Gurdaspur by Expert Surgeon

👉 What is Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It often appears as a swelling or bulge, especially when coughing, lifting, or standing.

Common types include:

• Inguinal Hernia (groin)
• Umbilical Hernia (navel)
• Incisional Hernia (after previous surgery)
• Femoral Hernia

👉 What is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery?

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair is a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery used to treat hernias. Small cuts are made in the abdomen, and a camera (laparoscope) along with fine instruments is used to repair the defect using a surgical mesh.

🌟 Advantages of Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery

• Smaller incisions (cosmetic benefit)
• Less post-operative pain
• Faster recovery and early return to work
• Lower risk of infection
• Short hospital stay
• Reduced chances of recurrence (when done properly)

👉 Who Needs Hernia Surgery?

Surgery is recommended if you have:

• Visible swelling or bulge in abdomen/groin
• Pain or discomfort while lifting or coughing
• Increasing size of hernia
• Complications like obstruction or strangulation

👉 How the Surgery is Performed?

• Patient is given general anesthesia
• Small (5–10 mm) incisions are made
• A laparoscope (camera) is inserted
• Hernia contents are pushed back into place
• A mesh is placed to strengthen the abdominal wall
• Incisions are closed with minimal stitches

👉 Recovery & Aftercare?

• Most patients go home within 24 hours
• Resume normal activities within 3–5 days
• Avoid heavy lifting for 2–4 weeks
• Mild pain or discomfort is normal and temporary
