What is Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or wall. Common types include umbilical, inguinal (groin), incisional and hiatus hernia.

Typical areas: abdomen, groin, umbilicus, any incision or previous abdominal surgery site, and the internal diaphragmatic hiatus. Any such bulge should be evaluated by a surgeon promptly.

Treatment at DLPC

Hernias are corrected surgically. We offer modern hernia repair including laparoscopic (key-hole) and mesh repair techniques, chosen according to the type and size of the hernia — most performed as 1 day treatment with faster recovery.

Why treat early — Implications

  • Untreated hernias cause pain and discomfort and may increase in size.
  • May form adhesions with surrounding tissue and fail to retract despite manual intervention or lying down.
  • Complications include obstruction or strangulation — potentially life-threatening and requiring emergency surgery.
