Incisional Hernia develops when tissue or part of the intestine pushes through a weak area in the abdominal wall at the site of a previous surgical incision. Dr. K. K. Trehan offers advanced laparoscopic and robotic incisional hernia surgery with minimally invasive techniques for safe treatment, reduced pain, and faster recovery.
An incisional hernia occurs when the muscles around a previous surgical scar become weak, allowing internal tissue or intestine to protrude through the abdominal wall. It usually appears as a bulge near the site of an earlier abdominal surgery and may increase in size over time.
Common symptoms include swelling or bulge near a surgical scar, abdominal discomfort, pain while lifting or coughing, heaviness in the abdomen, and tenderness around the affected area. In severe cases, sudden pain, nausea, or vomiting may indicate complications requiring urgent treatment.
Incisional hernia may develop due to weak healing after surgery, infection at the incision site, obesity, heavy lifting, chronic cough, diabetes, smoking, or excessive pressure on the abdominal wall. It can occur months or even years after abdominal surgery.
Treatment depends on the size and severity of the hernia. Open hernia repair involves repairing the weakened area with mesh support through a larger incision. Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments for less pain and quicker healing. Robotic hernia surgery provides advanced precision, better visualization, and faster recovery.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery offer several advantages including smaller cuts, reduced pain, minimal scarring, lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stay, and quicker return to normal daily activities.
Surgery is recommended for patients experiencing persistent swelling, pain, increasing hernia size, difficulty performing daily activities, or complications such as obstruction or strangulation of the intestine. Early treatment helps avoid serious health risks.
