Conditions Treated at Chennai Hernia Care

Hernias vary widely in type and severity. Proper diagnosis is essential to determine the
most appropriate treatment approach.

Inguinal Hernia

One of the most common hernia types, affecting the groin area. Early treatment helps prevent pain and complications.

Umbilical Hernia

Occurs near the navel and may develop gradually in adults due to weakness of the abdominal wall.

Incisional Hernia

Develops at the site of a previous surgical incision. These cases often require specialised surgical planning.

Ventral & Abdominal Hernias

Includes epigastric and other abdominal wall hernias that may progress if left untreated.

Patients are evaluated individually to identify the exact type of hernia and its impact on daily life.

More about Hernia

Types of Hernia

Incisional Hernia:

An incisional hernia occurs when a tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscle (usually where a prior surgical incision was made). Incisional hernia is a typical side effect following abdominal surgery.

Umbilical Hernia:

When a portion of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal muscles close to the navel (belly button), it is known as an umbilical hernia. Although it can happen to adults, it usually affects newborns.

Femoral Hernia:

Women are more likely to have this type,
fermoral hernia occurs particularly if they are obese or pregnant. Tissue pushes through a weak area in the muscle wall near the femoral canal, just below the groyne, to cause a femoral hernia.

Inguinal Hernia:

Inguinal hernias form in the inguinal canal, a passageway that runs down either side of your pelvis to your sex organs. Inguinal hernias are the most prevalent kind of hernia. They’re also known as groyne hernias. They are the most prevalent type of groyne hernia, but not the only one.

When Should You See a Hernia Doctor?

A hernia does not always cause severe pain initially, but it rarely resolves on its own. Consulting a hernia doctor is important if you notice:
  • A visible bulge that increases in size
  • Pain or discomfort during movement or lifting
  • Persistent abdominal pressure
  • Sudden pain, nausea, or vomiting (requires urgent care)
Early assessment helps avoid complications and allows for safer treatment planning.

Can you live with hernia without a surgery?

Does hernia go away on it’s own?

Hernia in adults will not heal on its own.

Postponing surgery poses significant risks of increasing pain, discomfort and also leading to Necrotizing Enterocolitis (severe inflammation of intestine) and sepsis, requiring a much more complicated surgery in the future.

About 20% of painless hernias will worsen over time, making timely surgery crucial.
Selecting an experienced surgeon is key to ensuring the right procedure for enduring relief and health.

Treatment Approach: Personalised For Each Patient

Hernia treatment depends on several factors, including the type of hernia, symptoms, and overall health.

Clinical Evaluation

A detailed consultation helps confirm the diagnosis and assess the need for treatment.

Non-Surgical Monitoring

In select cases with minimal symptoms, careful observation may be advised. However, hernias generally require surgical repair for definitive treatment.

Surgical Hernia Repair

When surgery is recommended, the goal is to repair the weakened area safely and reduce the risk of recurrence.

  • Laparoscopic hernia repair may be suitable for certain patients
  • Open hernia repair is advised in specific or complex cases
The choice of technique is made after thorough evaluation and discussion.

What we do

Types of Hernia Surgeries

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Involves making a cut in the body where the hernia is. The bulging tissue is repositioned, and the damaged muscle wall is repaired. Often, a special kind of mesh is placed in the region to offer further support.

Open Hernia Repair

Open Hernia Repair

Tiny incisions are made to allow the insertion of surgical tools to complete the hernia surgery rather than making a large cut to the outside of the abdomen or groin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hernias are best treated by a general surgeon with focused experience in hernia repair and abdominal wall surgery.
Hernia can be effectively treated with surgery. While hernias do not resolve on their own, proper surgical repair provides long-term relief and a low recurrence rate when performed correctly.
In some mild cases, observation may be advised. However, hernias generally require surgical repair to permanently fix the weakness.
Sudden or severe pain, vomiting, or inability to push the bulge back may indicate complications and need urgent medical attention.
Recovery varies by hernia type and surgical approach. Many patients resume light activities within a short period, while full recovery may take a few weeks. Recovery guidance is provided based on the individual’s treatment plan.
