Hernia

Hernia repair surgery is typically classified into two primary types:

• Herniorrhaphy (Tension Repair): This traditional method involves stitching the abdominal wall muscles directly without additional support.
• Hernioplasty (Mesh Repair): This modern technique uses a synthetic mesh to reinforce the weakened area, making it a tension-free repair. Hernioplasty is now the preferred and most commonly performed method due to its lower risk of recurrence and faster recovery.

At T.R.U.E. Hospitals, hernia repair can be done using the following surgical techniques:

• Open Hernia Surgery: In this conventional method, the surgeon makes a larger incision near the hernia site, repositions the herniated tissues, and repairs the abdominal wall. In most cases, a mesh is placed over the weakened area and secured with sutures or surgical staples to prevent the hernia from returning.
• Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery: This minimally invasive approach involves small keyhole incisions. A laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and surgical tools are inserted to repair the hernia using one of two techniques:
  • TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal Repair): Repairs the hernia without entering the abdominal cavity.
  • TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair): Involves entering the peritoneal cavity to place a mesh internally.
• Robotic Hernia Surgery: A more advanced version of laparoscopic surgery, robotic hernia repair uses robotic arms controlled by the surgeon. This method offers high precision and is particularly effective in complex cases or pediatric hernias.

Each surgical technique is selected based on the type, size, and location of the hernia, along with the patient's overall health and the surgeon’s recommendation. At T.R.U.E. Hospitals, our experienced surgical team ensures that each patient receives personalized, effective care with the latest in hernia repair technology.
