Today, let’s talk about the robotic hernia surgery cost. So, robotic surgery is a great option for treating hernias and many other conditions. It is becoming the most preferred procedure for treating complex abdominal hernias. But is this affordable to the common man? Many patients ask us sir we want robotic surgery, but I am worried that it may be very expensive and unaffordable can I get a robotic surgery done? Before diving into the robotic hernia surgery cost, let us first understand why is this surgery more expensive than a regular laparoscopic operation. Robotic Surgery Vs Laparoscopic ..read more

Robotic Hernia Surgery: Saying Goodbye to the Knife Robotic Hernia Surgery Robotic surgery has revolutionised the paradigm of surgical procedures. It has brought in unprecedented precision and efficiency in various surgical interventions. Among these, hernia repair surgery has emerged as a domain where robotic technology has made significant strides. This article explores the role of robotics in hernia repair, highlighting its benefits, techniques, and future implications. Understanding Hernias Millions of people worldwide suffer from hernias and this number is on the rise. To appreciate the s ..read more

Hernias occur when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue. While hernias vary in size & severity, a commonly asked question among patients is: What size of hernia requires surgery, and when should it be performed? Before diving deep into the specifics of surgery, let’s quickly understand what hernias are. They can occur in various body parts, with the most common being the abdomen. There are various types which include:   Inguinal Hernias – occur in the inner groin Incisional Hernias – develop at the site of previous surgic ..read more

A hernia happens because there is a weakness in the muscle wall. There is weakness in the muscle, which leads to a gap, and through the gap, the intestines start protruding out. That is called a hernia. When you want to repair a hernia, you close the gap with stitches. What if the muscle is not strong enough to hold the stitches? We need to use another buttress or another support that is in the form of a mesh. The mesh is kept in places where muscle strength is not reliable. Suppose you stitch the hole with stitches, and after a period of three or six months, because the muscle is innately we ..read more

Can a hernia come back after surgery? The short answer is that it depends. The long answer depends on what? Hernia repair is an operation where we try to recreate the weak abdominal wall using reconstruction of the muscles and also using a mesh. However, the final success of the operation depends on multiple factors. This is because when the healing is good, the scar is healthy, and when the scar is healthy, the hernia does not come back. Key Factors Influencing the Success of Hernia Surgery How well a hernia surgery works depends on different things. While some factors depend on the patient ..read more

One of the important reasons why patients postpone getting their hernias treated is the fear of the operation and the fear of the pain after the operation. This is not an entirely baseless fear. There is pain after operations. Operation is, after all, a cut on the body. However, how painful is it, which means how much suffering there will be, when will they recover, and how long will it take for them to be pain-free, sleep well, and do their normal activities? One has to understand that the amount of pain depends on the nature of the cut. As more and more hernia operations these days are bei ..read more

This is one of the most common questions surgeons encounter. There is a group of patients who come to us seeking a laparoscopic repair for hernias. Similarly, there is a group of patients who are very fixed in their thoughts and say that. “We do not want laparoscopic surgery but only an open operation”. The patients always ask us, “Doctor, which is the best technique to do a hernia operation? Is it by laparoscopy or by open surgery? We have so many of them in favour of or against both kinds of surgery. Some people say, “Though in laparoscopy, the pain is less, it fails. Open surgery is best ..read more

Another common practical question that surgeons face from patients is, “Sir, I have only an Indian toilet at home; can I use it? I have undergone hernia surgery. Is it safe to use an Indian toilet? The answer to this is yes.” Squatting does not increase the chance of hernia surgery failure. Indian toilets can safely be used by patients who have undergone hernia operations. Especially if the patient has undergone laparoscopic hernia repair, they are free to use both Indian and western toilets. If the patient has undergone an open operation for a very large hernia and is overweight, during the ..read more

Hernia is a problem that can afflict patients across all age groups, from young children to fit young adults to old people. Most health-conscious young adults are in the habit of regular exercise and go to the gym. They get psychologically very demoralised when they get a hernia, thinking that once they get a hernia and undergo surgery for it, they will no longer be able to go back to the gym and do those exercises. A common question patients ask is, Can I go to the gym after hernia surgery? If yes, when can I go? For laparoscopic groyne hernia repair, patients can resume their day-to-day ac ..read more

After a hernia operation, what sort of diet is recommended for these patients? Are there any major restrictions on diet, or should they avoid certain foods to improve healing? There are a lot of dietary myths among our patients when it comes to recovering from surgery. There are a lot of people who feel that they should not take certain types of pulses, they should not take certain non-vegetarian foods, and there are chances of infection if they take certain diets. There are no major dietary restrictions after a hernia operation. A hernia operation is done on the abdominal wall and on the mu ..read more
