Experienced Gastro Surgeon for Hernia Surgery in Lucknow

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. Some hernias remain small and minimally symptomatic, while others can cause pain, obstruction or complications.

With 23+ years of surgical experience, Dr. Ajay Yadav evaluates the location, size, symptoms and complexity of the hernia before recommending treatment.

When surgery is required, the repair technique is selected according to the patient's condition and the specific type of hernia, balancing long-term abdominal wall strength with minimal recovery time.

Clinical Conditions

Types of Hernia & Surgical Treatment

Hernias vary significantly by anatomical site, defect size, and recurrence risk. Every repair is customized according to the patient's individual clinical presentation.

Inguinal Hernia

Occurs in the groin and is one of the most common abdominal wall hernias, requiring precise anatomical repair.

Umbilical Hernia

Develops around the belly button, commonly seen in adults due to intra-abdominal pressure or muscle weakness.

Incisional Hernia

Occurs at or near a previous surgical incision where the abdominal wall muscle has weakened over time.

Ventral Hernia

Develops through any non-inguinal weakness in the anterior abdominal wall muscles, often presenting as a bulge.

Femoral Hernia

Occurs near the upper thigh/groin region and carries a higher risk of strangulation, warranting prompt evaluation.

Recurrent & Complex Hernia

Hernias that return after previous repair or present with large loss-of-domain defects requiring complex surgical planning.

Clinical Indications

When Does a Hernia Need Surgery?

Not every hernia requires immediate surgery. The decision depends on symptoms, hernia type, size, progression and risk of complications.

Surgery may be recommended when a hernia causes:

Persistent or increasing pain
A growing or difficult-to-reduce bulge
Difficulty with daily activities and physical work
Recurrent or progressive symptoms
Bowel obstruction or other structural complications
Urgent Medical Warning: Seek urgent medical care if a hernia suddenly becomes very painful, firm or cannot be pushed back, particularly when associated with vomiting, abdominal swelling or inability to pass stool or gas. These symptoms may indicate an obstructed or strangulated hernia requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is laparoscopic hernia surgery better than open surgery?
Both approaches have an important role. The appropriate technique depends on the type, size, location and complexity of the hernia, as well as previous surgeries. Laparoscopy offers smaller cuts and earlier mobility, while open repair remains essential for select large or complicated defects.
02 Does every hernia require surgery?
Not necessarily. Some minimally symptomatic hernias may be safely monitored under clinical surveillance, while symptomatic, enlarging, or complicated hernias generally require elective repair to avoid emergencies.
03 Is mesh used in hernia surgery?
Mesh is commonly used in many adult hernia repairs to reinforce the weakened abdominal wall and significantly lower the chance of recurrence. Its exact use and mesh type depend on the individual defect.
04 Can recurrent hernias be treated?
Yes. Recurrent hernias can be successfully repaired, although previous surgery, scar tissue, and altered anatomy require more detailed preoperative planning and specialized techniques.
05 How is a hernia diagnosed?
Many hernias can be accurately diagnosed through clinical physical examination. High-resolution ultrasound or CT imaging may be recommended when the defect is small, occult, or involves complex incisional anatomy.
