How is Inguinal Hernia Diagnosed?

A general or laparoscopic surgeon can diagnose an inguinal hernia through:

Physical Examination:
The doctor checks for a bulge in your groin area while you stand, cough, or strain.

Imaging Tests:

Ultrasound: Helps confirm the presence and size of the hernia.
CT Scan or MRI: Used for complex or recurrent cases to understand the hernia’s depth and location.

Additional Evaluations:
Blood and urine tests may be ordered before surgery to ensure you are fit for anesthesia and recovery.

Accurate diagnosis ensures proper planning for a safe and successful surgical repair.

Advanced Treatment Options for Inguinal Hernia

While mild hernias may be managed temporarily with lifestyle changes or a supportive belt, surgery remains the only permanent solution. At , we offer modern and minimally invasive hernia repair techniques for faster recovery and long-term relief.

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
This is a minimally invasive approach where small incisions are made to insert a laparoscope (a tiny camera) and surgical instruments. The hernia is repaired internally using a medical-grade mesh.
Benefits:

Minimal pain and scarring
Short hospital stay
Faster recovery and lower recurrence rate

Open Hernia Repair (Hernioplasty)
The surgeon makes a single incision in the groin area to push the bulge back and reinforce the weakened area with sutures or mesh. This is typically used for large or recurrent hernias.

Robotic Hernia Repair
An advanced variation of laparoscopic surgery where robotic arms assist the surgeon for precision and accuracy. It is ideal for complex or bilateral hernias.

Each technique is chosen based on your medical condition, lifestyle, and preferences. Our surgeons ensure the most effective and comfortable experience possible.

Recovery Time

After laparoscopic or laser-assisted inguinal hernia surgery, most patients can resume light activities within 3 to 5 days. Complete recovery typically takes around 2 to 3 weeks. For open repair, recovery may extend up to 4 to 6 weeks. Following post-operative care instructions and avoiding strain are essential for long-term healing and preventing recurrence.

Before Surgery:

You will undergo a detailed medical evaluation and diagnostic tests.
Your doctor will explain the procedure and necessary preoperative precautions.
You will be advised to avoid food or liquids for a few hours before surgery.

During Surgery:

The procedure is performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia.
The surgeon repairs the hernia using mesh reinforcement to strengthen the weak area.
The entire process usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.

After Surgery:

You may be discharged the same day or after 24 hours of observation.
Mild pain, swelling, or bruising can occur but subsides with prescribed medication.
You will receive instructions on wound care, diet, and activity restrictions.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for at least two weeks.
Follow a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation.
Keep the incision area clean and dry to prevent infection.
Use prescribed pain medication as directed.
Attend all scheduled follow-up visits.
Gradually resume normal physical activities as advised by your doctor.
