Treatment For Hernia
Surgical repair
Surgical repair refers to a medical procedure that involves fixing or correcting a damaged or injured body part through surgery. Surgical repair is commonly used to treat injuries or conditions that cannot be resolved through non-surgical methods, such as medication or physical therapy.
Open surgery
Open surgery is a traditional method, where an incision is made through the skin and tissues to access the area that needs to be operated on. This type of surgery involves physically cutting into the body to access organs, bones, tissues or other structures that need to be repaired or removed.
Laparoscopy Hernia Surgery
Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that is used to repair hernias. Laparoscopic surgery involves making several small incisions and using a laparoscope, which is a small, lighted instrument with a camera, to guide the surgeon during the procedure.

Procedure of the Laparoscopy Hernia Surgery
- General anesthesia is administered to the patient
- The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen, through which specialized surgical instruments and a camera are inserted.
- The camera provides a view of the hernia on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to see and repair the weakened muscle or tissue.
- The hernia sac is reduced or pushed back into the abdominal cavity.
- The weakened muscle or tissue is repaired by either sewing it shut or by placing a mesh patch over the weakened area to reinforce the repair.
- The surgical instruments are removed, and the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples.
- A sterile bandage is placed over the incisions.
- The patient is monitored in the recovery room before being discharged home the same day or the following day.
There are several steps you can take to help prevent a hernia from occurring. Here are some tips for reducing your risk of developing a hernia:
Maintain a healthy weight through a balanced diet.
Avoid heavy lifting, especially if you are not in good physical condition.
Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise.

TAMANNA
Visited for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy I was referred to Dr Amilthan by a family friend for gallbladder surgery. Dr. Amilthan was extremely patient and polite while responding to all of my concerns both prior and after the surgery. He took utmost care and made sure I was comfortable throughout. At no point of time did I feel any discomfort, and recovery was also very smooth thanks to his care. He was very confident that I would be back to work two days after surgery and indeed I was! I also really liked that he didn't prescribe any unwanted medications, unlike most doctors.
