Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery in Bangalore — Minimal Pain, Quick Recovery

What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ — most commonly part of the intestine — pushes through a weak spot or gap in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. This creates a visible and sometimes painful bulge. Hernias do not heal on their own and typically require surgical repair to prevent serious complications like strangulation (when the blood supply to the trapped tissue is cut off).

Types of Hernia Treated at Dhaara Hospital

Symptoms of Hernia

• A visible bulge or lump in the abdomen, groin or thigh — especially when standing or straining
• Dull ache or discomfort at the site — worsens with bending, coughing or lifting
• Feeling of heaviness or pressure at the hernia site
• Bulge that can be pushed back (reducible) or cannot be pushed back (non-reducible/incarcerated)
• In strangulated hernia: sudden severe pain, nausea, vomiting — requires emergency surgery

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: How it Works

At Dhaara Hospital, Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu performs laparoscopic hernia repair using the most advanced techniques:

• TEP (Totally Extra-Peritoneal Repair): The hernia is repaired without entering the abdominal cavity. A mesh is placed to strengthen the weakened area. Gold standard for inguinal hernia repair with the lowest recurrence rate.
• TAPP (Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal Repair): Performed through the abdominal cavity — preferred for bilateral hernias, incarcerated hernias, or when the anatomy is complex.
• IPOM (Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh): Used for incisional and ventral hernias — the mesh is placed inside the abdominal cavity directly over the defect.
