What is a Hernia?
Hernia is a common condition that occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area of the muscle or abdominal wall. While a hernia may initially cause mild discomfort, delaying treatment can lead to complications such as severe pain, bowel obstruction, or strangulation. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are essential for preventing further health risks.Hernias can occur in different areas of the body and often worsen over time if left untreated.
Most hernias do not heal on their own and typically require surgical repair to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Evaluation
How hernia is diagnosed
Hernias do not heal on their own and usually require surgery. Dr. Deepa Kulkarni offers two primary surgical approaches:
Open Surgery
- A single large incision is made at the hernia site.
- The protruding tissue is pushed back, and the muscle wall is repaired.
- A synthetic mesh may be used to reinforce the area.
- Recovery time: 4-6 weeks.
Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Surgery
- Small incisions are made to insert a tiny camera and surgical tools.
- Less post-operative pain and faster recovery.
- Reduced risk of infection and scarring.
- Recovery time: 2-3 weeks.
