Hernia Surgery
Safe Repair. Quick Return to Life.
A hernia is a bulge where part of the intestine or fat pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It does not heal on its own, and surgery is the only permanent treatment. Laparoscopic mesh repair lets most patients go home within a day or two.

About Hernia Surgery
In hernia surgery the bulging tissue is pushed back into place and the weak area is reinforced, usually with a soft surgical mesh. This lowers the chance of the hernia coming back.
Laparoscopic repair (TEP or TAPP) is done through small cuts and is especially useful for hernias on both sides, recurrent hernias and patients who want to return to work quickly. Open repair remains a good option for some patients. Dr. Waliullah Siddiqui advises the approach that is safest for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hernia be cured without surgery?
No. Belts and medicines may ease discomfort but cannot close the weak spot in the abdominal wall. Surgery is the only permanent treatment. Small, painless hernias are sometimes watched, but most hernias grow over time.
Which is better — laparoscopic or open hernia surgery?
Both work well. Laparoscopic repair usually means less pain, smaller scars and a faster return to work, and is preferred for hernias on both sides or recurrent hernias. Open repair may suit some patients better. Your surgeon will advise after examining you.
How long is the recovery after hernia surgery?
Most patients walk the same day, go home in 1–2 days and return to desk work within 1–2 weeks. Heavy lifting is avoided for about 4–6 weeks.
Is hernia surgery an emergency?
A hernia becomes an emergency if it turns painful, hard, cannot be pushed back, or comes with vomiting and swelling of the abdomen. This can mean the intestine is trapped — seek care immediately.
What decides the cost of hernia surgery in Lucknow?
The cost depends on the type and size of the hernia, laparoscopic or open repair, the mesh used, hospital stay and insurance. A clear estimate is given after consultation.
