Abdominal Wall & Reconstructive Surgery

Hernia repair and abdominal wall aesthetics

Why a Hernia Shouldn't Wait

A hernia is one of the most common surgical problems, occurring when tissue pushes through a weak point in the abdominal wall. Though it may seem minor at first, leaving it untreated can lead to serious complications. We offer modern hernia repair with surgical mesh and laparoscopy, along with abdominal wall reconstruction.

The goal is a strong, lasting repair that safely returns you to activity with the least possible pain.

Signs you may need treatment

A bulge or lump in the abdomen, lower abdomen, or groin.
A bulge that grows with coughing, straining, or prolonged standing.
Pain or a feeling of heaviness at the site of the bulge.
A firm bulge that does not disappear when lying down (a sign that needs urgent review).

Hernia Types & Repair

Inguinal Hernia

The most common hernia, appearing in the groin. Repaired with surgical mesh — open or laparoscopic depending on the case — for a strong repair and quick recovery.

Umbilical Hernia

Appears around the navel and is common after pregnancy or weight changes. Treated with a simple, effective repair that prevents progression.

Incisional Hernia

Occurs at the site of a previous surgical scar. Requires precise reconstruction of the abdominal wall, often with mesh, to restore its strength.

Abdominoplasty

Removal of excess skin and fat and body contouring — especially after major weight loss — to restore a harmonious shape once weight has stabilized.

Rectus Diastasis Repair

Treatment of the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles common after pregnancy, restoring abdominal-wall strength and back support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a hernia go away on its own without surgery?

No — a hernia does not resolve by itself, and surgery is its definitive treatment. Only select small, symptom-free cases are monitored, by the doctor's decision.

What's the risk of leaving a hernia untreated?

It may enlarge or become painful, and rarely it can strangulate — requiring emergency intervention. Early evaluation is therefore advised.

Is surgical mesh always used in the repair?

It is often used for a durable repair that prevents recurrence; the decision depends on the hernia's type and size and is discussed with you.

When can I return to work and activity after hernia repair?

Light activity can resume within days, while heavy lifting is avoided for several weeks. Recovery is faster with the laparoscopic approach.

Can a hernia come back after repair?

Recurrence is low with modern mesh repair, and the risk drops further by following the post-operative guidance.
