Best Hernia Surgery in Bangalore

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive procedure where the hernia is repaired through 3-4 small incisions (5-10mm) using a mesh to strengthen the weakened area. A tiny camera (laparoscope) guides the surgeon during the operation, resulting in less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Most laparoscopic hernia repairs take between 45-90 minutes, depending on the type and size of hernia. Inguinal hernias typically take 45-60 minutes, while complex hernias like hiatal or ventral hernias may take longer. Our experienced surgeons perform this procedure efficiently while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Yes, most patients can go home the same day after laparoscopic hernia repair. You'll be monitored for 4-6 hours post-surgery to ensure you're stable and comfortable. However, some patients with complex hernias or other health conditions may need to stay overnight based on the surgeon's recommendation.

Most patients return to desk work within 3-5 days and normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks. Light exercise can be resumed after 2 weeks, but heavy lifting (more than 10 kg) should be avoided for 6-8 weeks. Full recovery with return to all activities typically occurs within 6-8 weeks.

We treat all types of hernias including inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), ventral, incisional, hiatal, and femoral hernias. Our expert surgeons assess each case individually to determine the best surgical approach - laparoscopic or open surgery - based on hernia type, size, and patient factors.

In most cases, yes. Mesh reinforcement significantly reduces the risk of hernia recurrence from 15-20% to less than 2%. We use the latest biocompatible mesh materials that integrate well with your tissue. For very small hernias or in young patients, primary repair without mesh may sometimes be considered.

Laparoscopic hernia repair is very safe with a 98% success rate. Rare complications (less than 1%) may include bleeding, infection, mesh-related issues, or injury to nearby organs. Chronic pain occurs in less than 2% of patients. Our experienced surgeons minimize these risks through careful technique and advanced technology.

The recurrence rate with modern laparoscopic mesh repair is less than 2%. Factors that may increase recurrence risk include smoking, obesity, chronic cough, or not following post-operative restrictions. Our surgeons use proven techniques and high-quality mesh to minimize recurrence risk.
