A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue bulges through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Two of the most common types are:
Inguinal Hernia: Found in the groin area, more common in men.
Ventral Hernia: Occurs through the abdominal wall, often at or near a previous surgical site (also called an incisional hernia).
While small hernias may be painless, larger or untreated hernias can cause severe discomfort, digestive issues, or strangulation — a surgical emergency.
Dr. K.K. Verma, a leading gastrointestinal and laparoscopic surgeon in Jabalpur, offers advanced diagnosis and minimally invasive hernia surgeries tailored to patient needs, ensuring quick recovery and minimal recurrence.
Diagnosing a hernia involves clinical examination and imaging tests to assess the size, type, and potential complications.
The hernia is usually visible as a bulge, which may increase with coughing or standing. A clinical exam helps detect reducibility and tenderness.
A non-invasive scan that helps confirm the presence of a hernia, especially useful in women and children.
Used in complex or recurrent cases to assess internal structures and guide surgical planning.
The only definitive treatment for hernia is surgery. Dr. Verma offers open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted hernia repair, depending on the size, type, and patient condition.
