What is Hernia Surgery?
Hernia surgery involves repairing a hernia, which occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Dr. Abhishek Saxena specializes in both laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open surgical techniques to treat various types of hernias, ensuring effective repair and quick recovery.
Common types of hernias treated include:
- Inguinal Hernia: Protrusion in the groin area, common in men.
- Umbilical Hernia: Bulge near the navel, often in infants or adults with abdominal pressure.
- Incisional Hernia: Occurs at the site of a previous surgical incision.
- Hiatal Hernia: Stomach protrusion through the diaphragm, causing acid reflux.
- Femoral Hernia: Protrusion near the upper thigh, more common in women.
At Dr. Abhishek Saxena’s Clinic in Bareilly, we offer advanced hernia repair techniques tailored to each patient’s needs.
