Relief from hernia, strength for life

Inguinal Hernia

Understanding Inguinal Hernia

An inguinal hernia happens when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall, usually in the groin. It can cause swelling, discomfort, and even complications if left untreated. Surgical repair is the most effective solution to close the defect and restore strength to the abdominal wall.

  • Common Groin Hernia – Often appears as a bulge in the groin or scrotum.
  • Minimally Invasive or Open Repair – Approach chosen depending on hernia size and patient needs.
  • Mesh Reinforcemen – Strengthens the weakened area to prevent recurrence.
  • Improves Comfort & Daily Function – Reduces pain and restores mobility.

How Does This Procedure Work?
