Understanding Hernias
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types of hernias include:
- Inguinal Hernias: Occur in the groin area and are the most common type.
- Umbilical Hernias: Develop near the belly button.
- Hiatal Hernias: Involve part of the stomach pushing through the diaphragm.
- Incisional Hernias: Result from a weakness in the abdominal wall following surgery.
- Femoral Hernias: Found in the upper thigh or groin area, more common in women.
Without treatment, hernias can grow larger and may lead to complications like pain, obstruction, or strangulation.
Our Surgical Approach to Hernia Repair
Dr. Dhar specializes in both minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, ensuring the best approach is used for each patient’s condition.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions, a camera, and specialized tools to repair the hernia. Benefits include:
- Reduced pain
- Faster recovery time
- Minimal scarring
Robotic-Assisted Hernia Repair
Dr. Dhar employs robotic technology for unparalleled precision and flexibility, particularly for complex hernias. This cutting-edge approach offers enhanced visualization and meticulous reconstruction.
Open Hernia Repair
For larger or more complicated hernias, open surgery may be the most effective option. This traditional method provides direct access to the hernia site for durable repair.
Hiatal Hernia Repair
For patients with hiatal hernias contributing to GERD symptoms, Dr. Dhar offers combined treatment to repair the hernia and resolve reflux issues.
