A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue, often causing pain, discomfort, and potential complications like strangulation or obstruction. If untreated, hernias can worsen, leading to serious health risks. Seeking timely treatment is essential to prevent these issues and restore normal function. At Total Surgicare, we provide advanced surgical treatments for hernias, offering safe and effective solutions for lasting relief. Our experienced surgeons utilize cutting-edge techniques, including laparoscopic procedures, to ensure minimal pain, reduced recovery time, and optimal results. Whether it’s an inguinal, umbilical, or any other type of hernia, we deliver personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Don’t let a hernia interfere with your life. Take the first step toward recovery—book a consultation with Total Surgicare today and regain your health and peace of mind.
A hernia occurs when an internal organ bulges or protrudes through the weak muscle around it. Hernias are most common in certain parts of the body such as the abdomen, groin, belly button, or upper thigh area. They may also be seen where you have had an incision from previous surgery.
The most common types of hernia are inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, and femoral hernia, which can arise in both males and females. Inguinal hernias are particularly common in men, while umbilical hernias are often seen in infants and women during pregnancy. Regardless of the type, hernias can cause discomfort, pain, and complications if left untreated.
If you have been diagnosed with any type of hernia, it is essential to consult a hernia specialist as soon as possible. You should know that hernias don’t go away on their own, and without proper medical attention, the bulge can continue to grow over time, potentially leading to more serious issues such as strangulation or obstruction. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
At Total Surgicare, we offer advanced and personalized treatment for all types of hernias.

Usually, a hernia can be identified through a physical examination. The healthcare provider will ask you to stand, sit, and lie down to check the visible swelling around the herniated organ. If a hernia can be felt clearly in these positions, the doctor will recommend other tests for an accurate diagnosis-
Surgery is the only effective way to treat a hernia. At Total Surgicare, we use both types of surgery- hernioplasty and herniorrhaphy. The hernia is repaired with or without the help of the hernia mesh. There are two different techniques used to carry out both types of hernia repair surgeries.
In open hernioplasty or herniorrhaphy, a large incision is used to access the internal organs. The surgeon then places the herniated organ into the original position. If necessary, a hernia mesh is placed over and below the hole in the muscle wall to prevent the organ from entering the abdominal cavity again. After the repair, the incision is closed with the help of stitches or staples and left to heal over time.
It is a modern minimally invasive technique used for hernia repair. The surgery involves making 2-3 keyhole-sized incisions in the abdominal area. All the surgical instruments and the laparoscope are inserted into the body through these incisions. The abdomen is then inflated with gas and ample space is created to carry out the procedure safely.
The hernia is repaired by pushing the organ back to its original location. If additional support or reinforcement is needed to keep the organ in its place, a hernia mesh will be placed over the hole. The mesh is stitched with healthy muscle tissue to prevent displacement of the mesh.
After the repair is done, the abdomen is deflated and the incisions are closed with stitches, staples, or surgical glue.
Both techniques are safe and effective in treating hernias. While open surgery usually requires hospitalization, laparoscopic hernia surgery allows for a quicker recovery.
