01 / IN SHORT
Hernia
explained plainly.
Written for patients, reviewed by the surgeons who perform this treatment.
A hernia is a bulge that occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Hernias do not heal on their own; the durable treatment is laparoscopic mesh repair, which restores strength with minimal pain and fast recovery.
Precise mesh placement for complex & recurrent hernias.
- DEFINITION
- Protrusion of tissue through a weak point in the abdominal wall
- WHO
- More common in men; raised by straining, coughing, heavy lifting
- SEE A SURGEON
- Any visible bulge, discomfort, or a hernia that won't push back
- URGENCY FLAGS
- Sudden severe pain, hard tender lump, vomiting — possible strangulation
What is a hernia?
A hernia forms when an organ — often part of the intestine — pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall, creating a visible bulge. Common types are inguinal (groin), umbilical, incisional and hiatus hernias.
Symptoms & causes
Most hernias appear as a bulge that may ache on standing, coughing or lifting and ease on lying down. They are caused by a combination of muscle weakness and strain.
Diagnosis
Most hernias are diagnosed on clinical examination. An ultrasound or CT scan helps in unclear cases or to plan complex and recurrent repairs.
Treatment options
Hernias do not resolve without surgery. Laparoscopic mesh repair reinforces the weak area with minimal pain, small scars and a low recurrence rate, allowing a quick return to normal activity.

your hernia needs surgery?
Not every hernia needs an operation straight away. The surgeon will examine it and explain when repair is advisable — and when it can wait.
08 / WHY DWARIKA HOSPITALABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Four promises.
One standard.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.
