Question 1

What is component separation for hernia in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Component separation is a technique that releases tension on the abdominal wall so large defects can be closed and reinforced with mesh. It involves separating layers of the abdominal muscles (e.g. anterior component separation – ACS – or posterior/transversus abdominis release – PCS/TAR). Dr. Sharad Sharma performs it in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

Question 2

When is component separation needed for hernia?

Accepted Answer

It is used for large ventral or incisional hernias where the defect cannot be closed without excessive tension. It helps restore midline and reduce recurrence when combined with mesh reinforcement. We assess each patient at Hernia Surgery Clinic.

Question 3

Can component separation be done laparoscopically in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Posterior component separation (PCS/TAR) and other variants can be performed open, laparoscopically or with robotic assistance. The approach depends on hernia size, patient factors and surgeon expertise. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers open and minimally invasive options.

Question 4

How much does component separation surgery cost in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the approach (open vs laparoscopic), extent of repair, and hospital. We provide clear estimates at consultation. Contact our clinic for pricing tailored to your case.

Question 5

How long is recovery after component separation surgery?

Accepted Answer

Recovery varies; many patients need several weeks before returning to normal activities and heavy lifting. Wound care and activity restrictions will be explained. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline. We provide follow-up at our Bandra and Vashi clinics.

Question 6

What is TAR (transversus abdominis release)?

Accepted Answer

TAR is a posterior component separation technique that releases the transversus abdominis muscle to allow the abdominal wall to be brought together. It is used for large ventral/incisional hernias and can be done open or laparoscopically. Dr. Sharad Sharma has experience in TAR.
