Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery in Delhi
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall. It often appears as a bulge and may cause pain or discomfort. Hernias do not heal on their own and require surgical intervention to prevent complications.
What Is Hernia?
A hernia is a medical condition where an organ, tissue, or fatty layer pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscles or connective tissue. It often appears as a noticeable lump or bulge under the skin, most commonly in the abdomen, groin, or near the belly button.

Why Choose Robotic Surgery for Hernia Repair ?
-
Minimally Invasive: Less trauma is caused to the body by using tiny incisions rather than a large open cut.
-
Less Pain: Patients who have smaller wounds endure much less discomfort following surgery.
-
Faster Recovery: In contrast to weeks following open surgery, most patients are able to return to their regular activities in a matter of days.
-
Minimal Scarring: Smaller incisions produce better cosmetic results because they leave fewer visible scars.
-
Enhanced Precision: Surgeons can carry out the procedure more precisely thanks to the camera's clear, magnified view.
-
shortened Hospital Stay: Many of laparoscopic operations enable same-day discharge or a 24-hour stay.

FAQs – Hernia Surgery
Patients prefer laparoscopic hernia surgery because it offers smaller incisions, less pain, quicker recovery, and lower risk of complications.
Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks after laparoscopic hernia surgery. With proper care and guidance.
There are three main types: Open Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery, and Robotic Surgery. Minimally invasive options are preferred for faster recovery.
Most patients recover in 1–2 weeks after laparoscopic or robotic surgery, while open surgery may require 4–6 weeks for full recovery.
Risks are minimal but may include infection, bleeding, recurrence of the hernia, or complications related to anesthesia.
