Inguinal Hernia is one of the most common types of hernia that occurs when tissue or part of the intestine pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall near the groin area. Dr. K. K. Trehan provides advanced laparoscopic and robotic inguinal hernia surgery with safe, minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and reduced pain.
An inguinal hernia develops when soft tissue, usually part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak area in the lower abdominal muscles. It commonly appears as a bulge in the groin and may become more noticeable while standing, coughing, lifting heavy objects, or straining.
Common symptoms include a visible bulge in the groin, discomfort or pain while lifting or bending, heaviness in the lower abdomen, weakness in the groin area, and burning or aching sensations. In some cases, severe pain and swelling may indicate complications that require immediate medical attention.
Inguinal hernia can occur due to weak abdominal muscles, heavy lifting, chronic cough, obesity, constipation, aging, or excessive physical strain. Men are more commonly affected, though women can also develop inguinal hernias.
Treatment depends on the size and severity of the hernia. Open hernia repair involves a single incision to push the tissue back and strengthen the area with mesh. Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera for quicker healing and minimal discomfort. Robotic hernia surgery is an advanced technique that offers high precision, smaller scars, and faster recovery.
Minimally invasive hernia surgery offers several advantages including less pain, smaller cuts, minimal blood loss, shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery, reduced risk of infection, and faster return to normal daily activities.
Surgery is recommended for patients experiencing pain, increasing swelling, difficulty performing daily activities, or risk of complications such as strangulation of the intestine. Early treatment helps prevent serious complications and improves quality of life.
