Hernia Surgeon in Kharghar, Vashi & Navi Mumbai

Hernia surgery consultation in Navi Mumbai

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Hernias are commonly seen in the abdomen, groin and around the navel. Some hernias cause only a visible bulge at first, while others can lead to pain, obstruction or emergency complications if ignored.

Dr. Vijaykumar Malladi provides hernia surgery consultation in Kharghar, Vashi and Navi Mumbai, including open hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia surgery and robotic hernia surgery options. The right approach depends on the type of hernia, size of the defect, previous surgery history, age, fitness and recovery goals.

Causes of Hernia

Hernias can develop due to a variety of factors, including:

Straining during bowel movements

Heavy lifting

Persistent coughing or sneezing

Obesity

Weakness of the abdominal wall, often present from birth

In some cases, hernias can develop without any apparent cause. The pressure from an internal organ or tissue pushing through the weak muscle area is what ultimately leads to a hernia.

Symptoms of Hernia

The symptoms of a hernia vary depending on its location and severity. Common symptoms include:

A noticeable bulge in the abdomen or groin area

Pain or discomfort, especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting

A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the abdomen

Swelling or aching around the bulge

If you experience any of these symptoms, particularly if the hernia becomes painful or increases in size, it's important to seek medical attention. In some cases, hernias can become strangulated, cutting off the blood supply to the tissue and leading to a medical emergency.

Treatment: Hernia Surgery

The most effective treatment for a hernia is surgery, which involves repairing the weakened muscle or tissue. Hernia surgery can be performed using two main techniques:

Open Surgery:This involves making a larger incision at the hernia site to repair the weakened tissue.

Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive):Small incisions are made, and a camera-guided instrument is used to repair the hernia with less postoperative pain and faster recovery time.

Both techniques aim to strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent future occurrences. The choice between open and laparoscopic surgery depends on the size and location of the hernia, as well as the patient's overall health.

Laparoscopic and Robotic Hernia Surgery

Laparoscopic hernia surgery uses small cuts and a camera-guided technique to repair the defect with less wound pain and quicker mobility for suitable patients. Robotic hernia surgery can offer improved precision and visualization in selected complex or recurrent hernias. Dr. Malladi evaluates whether laparoscopic, robotic or open repair is the safer choice for each patient.
