Inguinal Hernia SurgeryMumbai
An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue (usually intestine) protrudes through a weak area in the abdominal muscles in the groin. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers open, laparoscopic and robotic inguinal hernia repair in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
Types of Inguinal Hernia
Direct inguinal hernia occurs when abdominal contents push through a weak spot in the wall of the inguinal canal, often due to aging. Indirect inguinal hernia occurs when the abdominal lining or intestine protrudes through the inguinal canal; it may be related to a preformed sac from birth or acquired weakness. Both types require surgical repair for a permanent fix.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Common signs include a bulge or swelling in the groin, discomfort or pain when lifting or straining, and a feeling of heaviness. Diagnosis is usually by physical examination; imaging may be used when needed. We recommend early consultation so we can plan the best treatment and avoid emergency situations.
When Surgery Is Needed
Surgery is the only curative treatment. It is recommended when the hernia is symptomatic or at risk of complications (incarceration, strangulation). Delaying can lead to emergency presentation. We offer same-day or next-day consultations at our Mumbai and Navi Mumbai clinics to discuss your options.
Surgical Options at Hernia Surgery Clinic
We offer open repair (including Lichtenstein, Shouldice, Desarda), laparoscopic (TAPP, TEP, eTEP) and robotic inguinal hernia repair. Bilateral and recurrent hernias are often best treated with minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Sharad Sharma will recommend the most suitable technique based on your hernia and overall health.
