What Is a Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (navel), and incisional (post-surgical) hernias. Hernias often present as a noticeable bulge and may cause discomfort or pain, especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting.

Surgical Treatment
Surgery is the definitive treatment for hernias. At Be Well Hospitals, we offer:
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A minimally invasive procedure involving small incisions, leading to reduced postoperative pain and quicker recovery. Patients often resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
Open Hernia Repair: Traditional surgery involving a larger incision, suitable for larger or more complex hernias. Recovery time typically ranges from 2–4 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Surgical repair is the most effective and common treatment for hernias, providing a permanent solution.
Hernias do not typically resolve on their own. While small, asymptomatic hernias may be monitored, surgery is often recommended to prevent complications.
Hernias are caused by a combination of muscle weakness and strain. Factors include heavy lifting, chronic coughing, obesity, pregnancy, and previous surgeries.
While not immediately life-threatening, untreated hernias can lead to serious complications like strangulation, which requires emergency surgery.
Be Well Hernia Treatment Process
Anaesthesia
Hernia surgery can be performed under general anaesthesia, where you will be unconscious throughout the procedure, or under regional anaesthesia with sedation, where you will be awake but numbed in the surgical area.
Incision or laparoscopic approach
The surgeon will make an incision near the hernia site. Alternatively, a laparoscopic approach may be used, where small incisions are made, and specialized instruments and a laparoscope are used for the procedure.
Hernia Repair
The surgeon will gently push the protruding organ or tissue back into place. Then, the weakened muscle or tissue is repaired. In most cases, a synthetic mesh is used to strengthen the area and reduce the risk of the hernia recurring.
Closure
After the repair is complete, the surgeon will meticulously close the incisions using various techniques such as sutures, staples, or adhesive strips, depending on the surgeon’s preference and the specific circumstances of the surgery.
Recovery
After the surgery is completed, you will be transferred to a recovery area for monitoring while waking up from anesthesia. Depending on the surgery and your health, you may be discharged on the same day or within two days.
Postoperative care
You may be prescribed pain medication to manage any discomfort and advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a certain period of time. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.
