For ventral hernias and hernias at the site of an old operation scar. The defect is closed and a mesh is placed inside the abdominal wall through small ports, giving a durable repair without a long incision. Very large defects may need open repair or abdominal wall reconstruction instead.

Hernias are treated by a hernia specialist or surgical gastroenterologist. They are trained to perform laparoscopic and open hernia repair for safe, effective, and long-lasting results.
You should see a doctor if you notice a bulge, swelling, or persistent hernia pain in the abdomen or groin, especially if it increases while standing, coughing, or lifting. Early consultation prevents complications.
Doctors usually confirm hernia through a physical examination. In some cases, an ultrasound, CT scan, or other hernia test may be advised to understand the exact size and type before planning treatment.
Medicines cannot cure hernia. They may only give temporary symptom relief. Permanent treatment usually requires hernia surgery operation, especially if the hernia is increasing in size or causing discomfort.

Inguinal, femoral, umbilical, epigastric, incisional, ventral and many recurrent hernias can be repaired laparoscopically in selected patients. Large or complex abdominal wall defects may need an abdominal wall reconstruction rather than a simple mesh repair.
