Ventral Hernia Surgery in Bangalore
A ventral hernia is a bulge through a weakness in the abdominal wall, including epigastric hernias above the navel and other midline hernias. They can develop spontaneously or following previous abdominal surgery. Surgical repair is the standard treatment.
What is a Ventral Hernia?
A ventral hernia is a protrusion of abdominal contents through a defect in the anterior (front) abdominal wall. It can occur at any point along the midline or at the site of a previous incision, and typically presents as a visible or palpable bulge that worsens with straining.
Common Symptoms
When is Surgery Recommended?
Surgical repair is generally recommended for symptomatic hernias or those at risk of complications. The timing and approach depend on the size, location, and complexity of the hernia, as well as your overall health. A specialist evaluation is important to determine the most appropriate management.
Surgical Approach
Surgery may be performed laparoscopically or through an open approach, depending on the size and characteristics of the hernia. Mesh reinforcement is typically used to strengthen the repair and reduce recurrence risk. Dr. Adarsh will recommend the most suitable technique after a thorough assessment.
