A ventral hernia occurs when a part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak area in the abdominal wall, resulting in a noticeable bulge. This hernia can appear anywhere on the front of the abdomen and is often associated with factors such as weakened muscles, previous abdominal surgeries (incisional hernia), obesity, pregnancy, or heavy lifting.
Common symptoms include abdominal bulging, pain, pressure, or discomfort that becomes more prominent while coughing, bending, or standing. If not treated promptly, a ventral hernia can enlarge and may lead to serious complications like obstruction or strangulation of the intestine.
Today, laparoscopic and robotic ventral hernia repair provide highly advanced, minimally invasive solutions for safe and effective treatment.
Laparoscopic surgery uses small keyhole incisions and a high-definition camera, while robotic surgery offers enhanced precision, better visualization, and improved control through robotic-assisted instruments.
Both approaches reduce pain, minimize scarring, lower the risk of complications, and ensure faster recovery compared to open surgery—making them excellent options for modern hernia repair.
Why Choose Repair?
Laparoscopic and robotic repair are among the most advanced and highly recommended treatments for ventral hernias, offering a minimally invasive approach with faster healing and superior precision. Instead of making a large cut, the surgeon uses small keyhole incisions to access and repair the hernia. In laparoscopic surgery, a high-definition camera and specialized instruments are used to visualize and treat the defect. In robotic hernia repair, the surgeon operates using robotic arms that provide enhanced control, 3D vision, and greater accuracy.
Key benefits include:
- Minimal pain and faster recovery time
- Very small, almost invisible scars
- Lower risk of infection
- Lower risk of infection and recurrence
- Quicker return to normal activities
- Suitable for large, small, or recurrent hernias
Our Surgical Approach
Our laparoscopic and robotic ventral hernia repair is performed using advanced surgical techniques to ensure precise, safe, and long-lasting results. The process begins with a thorough evaluation, including a clinical examination and imaging studies when required. During the procedure, a few small keyhole incisions are created to introduce a laparoscope or robotic instruments, providing a clear and magnified view of the abdominal cavity. The herniated tissue is carefully repositioned, and a high-quality surgical mesh is placed to strengthen the abdominal wall from within, reducing the risk of recurrence and promoting a smooth recovery.
Our approach focuses on:
- State-of-the-art laparoscopic technology
- Experienced hernia specialists and surgical expertise
- Minimal tissue trauma and maximum precision
- Enhanced patient safety and comfort
- Complete pre- and post-operative care guidance
