What is a hernia?
A hernia is a protrusion in the abdomen or groin caused by a tear or weakness in the abdominal wall’s muscles or tendons. They are apparent and possibly grow in size over time. The condition produces little to no symptoms in most cases except for an apparent lump or bumps under the skin. Further symptoms depend on the exact location of the hernia and how it has come about. Hernias are not usually a serious condition, but they require surgical treatment to be repaired. A hernia that produces little to no symptoms today is always at risk of becoming troublesome in the future due to the lack of self-repair.

Types of hernia treated by Dr. Pinak:
A hernia can occur anywhere in the abdomen region. Patients will normally notice a lump, or discomfort, at the site of the hernia. The most common types of hernia are
- Inguinal Hernia:– when tissue (usually part of the intestines) pokes through your lower abdomen. Umbilical hernia:- when tissue pokes through the part of the abdomen directly through or immediately around the navel (belly button)
- Femoral Hernia:– when tissue pokes through into your groin, or the top of your inner thigh. Hiatal hernia:- A condition in which part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm muscle. In a hiatus hernia, part of the stomach pushes into the chest cavity. It enters via an opening where the food tube (esophagus) passes on its way to the stomach.
Epigastric Hernia:– when tissue pokes through into the upper part of the abdomen Incisional hernia:- when tissue pokes through a surgical wound or incision that has not fully healed. What causes a hernia? Hernias result from weakening muscles that may have existed from birth or are brought on by aging and constant stress on the groin and abdominal regions.

Advanced Hernia Repair by Dr. Pinak Dasgupta:
Dr. Pinak Dasgupta is a renowned hernia specialist in Chennai, India, He performs hernia treatment in various ways such as open hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair, and robotic hernia repair.
- Open Hernia Repair Treatment: This is the old method where a hernia can repair through open surgery. In this method where an incision, or cut, is made in the groin. The hernia “sac” containing the bulging intestine is identified. Dr. Pinak Dasgupta then pushes the hernia back into the abdomen and strengthens the abdominal wall with stitches or synthetic mesh. Most patients will be able to go home a few hours after surgery and feel fine within a few days. Strenuous activity and exercise are restricted for four to six weeks after the surgery.
- Laparoscopic Hernia Treatment: Laparoscopic Hernia repair technique is the most widely used to treat hernia in India. Laparoscopic Hernia repair gives many advantages as compared to open surgery. Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) hernia repair uses a laparoscope, a thin, telescope-like instrument that is inserted through a small incision at the umbilicus (belly button). This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, so before the surgery, you will have an evaluation of your general state of health, including a history, physical exam (and possibly lab work), and an electrocardiogram (EKG). You will not feel pain during this surgery. The laparoscope is connected to a tiny video camera, smaller than a dime, that projects an “inside view” of your body onto television screens in the operating room. The abdomen is inflated with a harmless gas (carbon dioxide), which creates space to allow your doctor to view your internal structures. The peritoneum (the inner lining of the abdomen) is cut to expose the weakness in the abdominal wall. Mesh is placed on the inside to cover the defects in the abdominal wall and strengthen the tissue. After the procedure is completed, the small abdominal incisions are closed with a stitch or two or with surgical tape. Within a few months, the incisions are barely visible. Benefits of laparoscopic hernia surgery include three tiny scars rather than one larger incision, less pain after surgery, a quicker return to work, and a shorter recovery time
