What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue wall. It typically appears as a visible bulge under the skin, in the abdomen, groin or navel area.

Hernias do not heal on their own. Without surgery, they tend to grow larger and can become dangerous if the tissue becomes trapped (incarcerated) or its blood supply is cut off (strangulated). At THE CLINICS, South Delhi, laparoscopic hernia surgery is a widely used treatment with small incisions and minimal scarring.

Types of Hernias We Treat

  • Inguinal hernia (groin): the most common type. Tissue pushes through the inguinal canal in the groin. More common in men.

  • Umbilical hernia (navel): tissue protrudes near the belly button. Seen in infants, adults and after pregnancy.

  • Ventral / incisional hernia: forms at a previous surgical incision site. Needs mesh repair.

  • Hiatal hernia: part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm. It can cause acid reflux and GERD.

  • Femoral hernia: tissue pushes into the femoral canal near the thigh. More common in women.

Signs You May Have a Hernia

Some hernias cause no discomfort at first. Any visible bulge or groin discomfort should be checked by a doctor, because hernias do not go away on their own and can lead to complications.

  • Visible bulge in the abdomen, groin or navel

  • Pain or discomfort at the bulge site

  • More pain when lifting, coughing or bending

  • Burning or aching feeling at the bulge

  • Nausea or vomiting, which can be a sign of a complication

  • Acid reflux or difficulty swallowing (hiatal hernia)

When to See a Doctor

Any bulge that is visible or causes discomfort should be evaluated. THE CLINICS' surgeon will assess whether surgery is needed soon or can be planned.

Strangulated Hernia: an Emergency

If a hernia suddenly becomes painful, hard or darkened, or you are vomiting and cannot push the bulge back, this is a surgical emergency.

Safety: THE CLINICS has no emergency department. In this situation, go to the nearest hospital or call 112.

Hernia Surgery at THE CLINICS

THE CLINICS, South Delhi, treats inguinal, umbilical, incisional, ventral and hiatal hernias, mostly by laparoscopic technique. All hernia surgery is performed at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, under general anaesthesia.

Inguinal Hernia Surgery

The most common hernia. It occurs in the groin when abdominal tissue pushes through the inguinal canal, and is more common in men. Laparoscopic repair at THE CLINICS uses mesh to reinforce the weak area.

  • Laparoscopic (TEP or TAPP technique)

  • Mesh placed through 3 small incisions

  • Both sides can be repaired in one session

  • Discharge the same day or the next day

Umbilical Hernia Surgery

Tissue protrudes through the abdominal wall near the belly button. It is common in adults with obesity, a pregnancy history or previous abdominal surgery. Laparoscopic mesh repair is used at THE CLINICS.

  • Laparoscopic mesh repair

  • Small incisions, minimal scarring

  • Same-day or next-day discharge

Ventral / Incisional Hernia

Forms at the site of a previous surgical incision where the abdominal wall has weakened. It needs careful mesh repair to lower the risk of recurrence. THE CLINICS performs incisional hernia surgery.

  • Laparoscopic or open repair, as required

  • Mesh sized for the defect

  • Complex cases assessed at THE CLINICS

  • 1 to 2 days in hospital

Hiatal Hernia Surgery

Part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest. It can cause long-standing acid reflux, GERD and difficulty swallowing. Laparoscopic repair at THE CLINICS treats the hernia and the reflux together. Mesh is generally not used for hiatus hernia.

  • Laparoscopic fundoplication with hernia repair

  • Aims to relieve long-standing acid reflux and GERD

  • General anaesthesia, 1.5 to 2 hours

  • Discharge the same day or the next day, then a liquid to soft diet for about 2 weeks

Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery at THE CLINICS

Laparoscopic hernia surgery at THE CLINICS uses 3 small keyhole incisions for a camera and instruments. The hernia is reduced and a surgical mesh is placed to reinforce the weak abdominal wall and lower the risk of recurrence.

The procedure is always performed under general anaesthesia, in the modular operation theatre at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, using 4K laparoscopy, and typically takes 45–90 minutes, depending on the hernia type and complexity. Many patients go home the same day or the next day; larger abdominal wall repairs need a longer stay.

Why Mesh Repair?

Mesh repair is used to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence. At THE CLINICS, mesh is used for all inguinal and ventral hernias; it is generally not used for hiatus hernia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laparoscopic hernia surgery safe?

Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a commonly performed procedure. Like all surgery, it carries some risks, which your surgeon will explain before the operation.

Can a hernia come back after surgery?

Yes, a hernia can come back, although a mesh repair lowers the chance. At THE CLINICS, mesh is used for all inguinal and ventral hernias. The risk depends on the size and type of hernia, your weight, smoking, coughing and heavy straining.

How long is recovery after laparoscopic hernia surgery?

Many patients go home the same day or the next day. You are encouraged to walk the same day, desk work is usually possible from the next day or within 48 hours, and driving after about 5–7 days, but not while you still need painkillers. Avoid heavy lifting for 3–4 weeks.

Can both sides of an inguinal hernia be repaired at once?

Yes. With laparoscopic hernia surgery at THE CLINICS, both sides can be repaired in a single surgery through the same small incisions, so you do not need two separate operations.

What should I do if my hernia becomes suddenly painful?

A hernia that becomes suddenly painful, hard or darkened, or comes with vomiting, can be strangulated or incarcerated, which needs urgent surgical care. THE CLINICS has no emergency department. Go to the nearest hospital or call 112.

Is hernia surgery covered by insurance?

Hernia surgery is often covered by health insurance. THE CLINICS offers insurance and TPA support where the policy covers it; cost is an estimate after examination. Our billing team helps with the paperwork.
