What is Hernia?
A hernia is an abnormal bulging or opening in which an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the stomach or groin. These hernias mostly occur in the abdominal region, and sometimes they also appear in your upper thigh and groin region. Often they are harmless and painless, but sometimes they can cause severe discomfort and pain.
With the advancement of technology, surgery for hernia has become easier, and the cost of hernia surgery in Hyderabad is very affordable now.

Treatment For Hernia
The treatment for hernia depends on the size of the hernia and the severity of the condition. The hernia can be treated by changing lifestyle, medication, and if nothing works, surgery is the final option.
Some lifestyle changes like avoiding large or heavy meals, should not bend or lie down after eating, avoid lifting heavy objects can help you in case of certain hernias. You should always maintain healthy body weight.
Hernioplasty for hernia repair
Hernioplasty is a traditional surgical procedure also called open surgery for hernia repair. The procedure involves making an incision near the hernia and pushes back the tissues or parts back into their place. Sometimes, the weak area is fixed by placing a kind of steel mesh or wire for support.
Laparoscopy for hernia repair
Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where small incisions are made near hernia, and a small tube-like instrument, called laparoscope with a camera head is sent into the incision. The camera displays the images on a monitor guiding the surgeon for the operation. By inserting other instruments into the other incisions, the surgeon repairs a hernia and places synthetic mesh for support.
Laparoscopic hernia surgery has a lot of benefits. The cost of hernia surgery is also very low. For more information, contact our hernia doctors at Octopus, led by Dr. Rajesh Vunnamatla, one of the best weight hernia surgeons in Hyderabad.
