Why Patients Consider Hernia Surgery
Relieve Symptoms and Repair the Weakened Abdominal Wall
Hernia surgery aims to return protruding tissue to its correct position and strengthen the weakened area. The exact treatment plan is based on your symptoms, examination, medical history and the surgeon’s assessment.
02
Repair the Abdominal Wall
The surgeon repairs the weak area and may use surgical mesh where appropriate to reinforce the abdominal wall and reduce recurrence risk.
03
Open or Laparoscopic Technique
Both methods are available. The preferred approach depends on the hernia type, size, previous operations and your general health.
04
Umbilical and Inguinal Hernias
Alongside umbilical hernia repair, we can also arrange assessment and treatment for unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernias.
Could Hernia Surgery Be Suitable for You?
You may wish to request an assessment if you have a visible bulge, discomfort, pressure or pain around the navel or groin.
Symptoms may become more noticeable during coughing, lifting, prolonged standing or physical activity.
Urgent medical advice is required if a hernia becomes hard, very painful, cannot be pushed back, or is accompanied by nausea, vomiting or fever.
Your Assessment Is Individual
Before surgery is arranged, the clinic will need enough information to recommend the safest and most appropriate treatment.
- Review of your symptoms and medical history
- Review of ultrasound, scan reports or other available documentation
- Information about previous abdominal surgery
- Review of medication and relevant health conditions
- Discussion of open and laparoscopic options
