How is it treated?

At MGM Hospital, hernia is typically treated with surgery to repair the weakened area of the muscle or tissue. The specific treatment approach may depend on the size, location, and severity of the hernia, as well as the individual's overall health and medical history.
The treatment options for hernia at MGM Hospital may include:
• Hernia repair surgery
• Laparoscopic hernia repair
• Non-surgical treatments

Laparoscopic hernia repair

This is a minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon makes a few small incisions and uses a special instrument with a camera to repair the hernia. This approach may result in less pain and scarring, and a quicker recovery time than traditional hernia repair surgery.

Open hernia repair

Open hernia repair is a traditional surgical approach that has been used for many years to repair hernias. While it may result in more pain and scarring than minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic hernia repair, it may be the best option for some patients depending on their individual needs and the location and severity of the hernia.

Mesh hernia repair

Mesh hernia repair is a common and effective approach for treating hernias, as it has been shown to have a lower risk of hernia recurrence compared to traditional hernia repair without mesh. The mesh material also allows for a quicker and more reliable healing process.
