What are Advanced techniques for hernia repair?
“Don’t let Hernia affect your daily life!”
Pain or a bulge in the abdomen wall can sometimes limit your physical abilities. Hernia is a disorder affecting the abdominal wall and other muscle compartments.
- If you've been experiencing a bulge, stiffness, pain related to the bulge, or any other symptoms, the body probably needs a hernia treatment, which mostly is a hernia surgery.
- A hernia occurs when an internal tissue or organ breaks through a muscle hole. There are different types of hernias and most hernias are abdominal hernias.
- This is treated with Hernia repair surgery, also known as Herniorrhaphy, which involves positioning the displayed tissues.
- These days, the surgery is performed with advanced techniques involving painless, less-invasive procedures that give quick recovery.
- For diagnosing a hernia, our doctor will check for a bulge in the affected area and will inquire about the patient's medical history as well as their symptoms.
- If the bulge cannot be found, imaging tests such as an MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound may be required for a more precise diagnosis.
- Hernias have a high recurrence rate, and surgical mesh can help prevent a recurrence.
- The patient is usually able to return to home within a few hours of the surgery and can have a full recovery that can take up to six weeks. A hernia is usually treated with surgery.
- Earlier only open repair or surgery was an option, but these days, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and robotic repair are preferred by everyone.

Types of Hernia Repair Techniques:
There are various methods for repairing hernias, each designed to meet the individual requirements and circumstances of the patient. The following are the primary techniques used for hernia repair:
Open Hernia Repair:
- Herniorrhaphy : This conventional method entails making an incision directly over the hernia, pushing the protruding tissue back into its original position, and then using stitches or sutures to repair the weakened muscle or tissue.
- Hernioplasty : Similar to herniorrhaphy, this technique involves strengthening the repair by using a synthetic mesh or biological graft. This additional support helps reduce the risk of recurrence.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair:
- Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Repair : A minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon accesses the hernia site through small incisions in the abdomen and places a mesh to reinforce the weakened area from outside the peritoneum (abdominal cavity).
- Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair : Another laparoscopic approach where the surgeon enters the peritoneal cavity, places a mesh over the hernia defect from the inside and reinforces it with sutures or staples.
Robotic Assisted Hernia Repair:
It involves the utilization of robotic arms controlled by the surgeon to execute accurate movements and manipulations, akin to laparoscopic procedures.Mesh Repair:
- Nowadays, the majority of hernia repairs involve the placement of a synthetic or biological mesh over the weakened area to offer additional support and decrease the chances of recurrence.
- This mesh can be inserted either laparoscopically or through an open procedure.

Book an AppointmentNon Mesh Repair:
- In certain situations, especially when mesh is not appropriate due to patient-related factors or preferences, repairs can be carried out without the use of mesh.
- Instead, sutures or tissue techniques are relied upon to strengthen the area.
Each type of hernia repair comes with its own set of advantages and considerations, including recovery time, the risk of recurrence, and potential complications.
Latest Ventral Hernia Repair Techniques:
- Various techniques are available for ventral hernia repair, including open surgery with suture or mesh, laparoscopic methods like TEP or TAPP with mesh, and robotic-assisted repair.
- The chosen technique depends on factors such as hernia size, location, and patient health.
- The main goal is to strengthen the weakened abdominal walls and prevent recurrence.
- In some cases, biological mesh may be used. The surgeon's expertise and patient needs determine the approach, ensuring effective hernia management while considering benefits and risks.
Why Should You Not Delay Surgery?
- It can become more severe with more complications
- Can cause severe pain, & fever
- Medicines & other treatment methods can become ineffective
- Surgery is the "Only" Solution
When hernia specialists perform hernia surgeries, there are few or no risks. Hernia surgeries are performed on a daycare basis, and patients can be discharged home within 24 hours of surgery.
Our team at Medicover Hospitals is well-equipped to handle these complications and provide you with the care you require. Our doctors and staff have successfully repaired many hernia cases using the most advanced and minimally invasive techniques.

Which mesh for hernia repair?Frequently Asked Questions
Advanced techniques for hernia repair include laparoscopic hernia repair, robotic-assisted hernia repair, and use of mesh materials designed to minimize recurrence rates and improve recovery.
A tiny abdominal incision is created for laparoscopic hernia repair, a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a laparoscope and surgical tools to repair the hernia using mesh.
Laparoscopic hernia repair typically results in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, quicker recovery, and lower rates of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
Suitable candidates include individuals with uncomplicated hernias (inguinal, umbilical, or incisional) who are generally healthy and do not have extensive scar tissue from previous surgeries.
Robotic-assisted hernia repair is a type of minimally invasive surgery where a surgeon uses robotic arms controlled by a console to perform precise movements and repair the hernia with greater dexterity.
Advantages include enhanced visualization, greater surgical precision, reduced risk of complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Yes, mesh materials are commonly used in hernia repair to provide support and reduce the risk of recurrence. These meshes can be synthetic or biological, depending on the patient's needs and the type of hernia.
Mesh helps strengthen the repair site, reduces tension on the tissue, lowers the risk of hernia recurrence, and promotes faster healing compared to repairs without mesh.
While complications are rare, potential risks include infection, bleeding, damage to nearby organs or nerves, chronic pain, and recurrence of the hernia despite surgical repair.
Recovery varies but is generally faster compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks, although strenuous activities may need to be limited for a longer period.
