Question 1

What is abdominal wall reconstruction in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) restores the structure and function of the abdominal wall after large hernias, multiple recurrences, or loss of domain. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers AWR using open, laparoscopic and robotic techniques at Hernia Surgery Clinic in Bandra and Vashi.

Question 2

How much does abdominal wall reconstruction cost in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

AWR cost in Mumbai depends on the complexity, use of mesh, component separation, and hospital. We provide clear estimates at consultation. Contact our clinic for pricing tailored to your case.

Question 3

When is abdominal wall reconstruction needed?

Accepted Answer

AWR is needed for large or complex ventral/incisional hernias, recurrent hernias, or when the abdominal wall has lost integrity. Component separation and mesh reinforcement are often part of the procedure. We assess each patient and recommend the best approach.

Question 4

What is component separation in abdominal wall reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Component separation (e.g. TAR, anterior component separation) releases tight muscles to bring the midline together and restore the abdominal wall. It is used when the defect is too large to close primarily. Dr. Sharad Sharma has extensive experience in these techniques.

Question 5

How long is recovery after abdominal wall reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Recovery varies; many patients need several weeks before returning to normal activities and heavy lifting. Hospital stay may be a few days. We provide detailed instructions and follow-up care. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline.

Question 6

Which doctor is best for abdominal wall reconstruction in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Sharad Sharma is a leading hernia and abdominal wall surgeon in Mumbai with over three decades of experience in AWR and complex hernia repair. He is a preferred referral for complex and recurrent cases. Consult at our Bandra or Vashi clinic.

Question 7

Where can I get abdominal wall reconstruction in Navi Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Hernia Surgery Clinic has a centre in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, where Dr. Sharad Sharma consults. AWR may be performed at an affiliated hospital. Book a consultation at our Bandra or Vashi clinic.

Question 8

Is mesh used in abdominal wall reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Mesh is commonly used in AWR to reinforce the repair and reduce recurrence. The type and placement depend on the defect and surgeon's approach. We discuss mesh options and alternatives at consultation.

Question 9

What are the risks of abdominal wall reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Risks include infection, recurrence, wound complications, and mesh-related issues. Experienced surgeons like Dr. Sharad Sharma use techniques to minimise these risks. We discuss risks and benefits in detail at consultation.

Question 10

Can abdominal wall reconstruction be done laparoscopically?

Accepted Answer

Some AWR procedures can be done laparoscopically or with robotic assistance. Very large or complex cases may require open surgery with component separation. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach for your condition.
