When to Consult

  • Groin or abdominal bulge increasing with cough or lifting
  • Dull ache or dragging sensation after long standing
  • Prior hernia repair with new swelling or discomfort
  • Chronic cough, obesity, or heavy labour job
  • Sudden pain, vomiting, or inability to push hernia back
  • Females with umbilical or incisional hernias post pregnancy

Understanding Hernias in the Indian Context

Sedentary office work, sudden lifting, chronic cough, and obesity drive hernia incidence across Hyderabad's workforce. Left untreated, hernias can enlarge, strangulate, and cause life-threatening complications. Ajuda Hospitals provides comprehensive hernia care—from diagnosis to advanced laparoscopic or robotic repair—ensuring patients return to daily routines quickly.

Our surgeons engage in shared decision-making, explaining each technique in Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, or English so families make informed choices. Corporate wellness tie-ups in HITEC City and industrial zones help employees access timely repairs without disrupting careers.

When to Consult Our Hernia Specialists

⚠️ Seek Immediate Care If You Experience:

  • ✓ Sudden hernia pain with vomiting or inability to pass gas
  • ✓ Hernia becomes hard, tender, or non-reducible
  • ✓ Skin over hernia turns red or dark
  • ✓ Fever or rapid pulse with bulge discomfort

For reducible hernias, schedule a consultation to plan repair before complications arise. Ajuda offers weekend and evening clinics for busy professionals and senior citizens.

Our Diagnostic Approach

Comprehensive Examination

We assess hernia size, location (inguinal, femoral, umbilical, incisional), and reducibility, evaluating both groins to identify bilateral defects.

Imaging Insight

Ultrasound or MRI identifies occult hernias, bowel involvement, and abdominal wall muscle integrity. This guides mesh selection and surgical route.

Fitness & Risk Assessment

Consultations with cardiology, pulmonology, or diabetology prepare patients for anaesthesia, especially those with comorbidities.

Surgical Planning & Education

Patients receive detailed counselling on laparoscopic vs open options, mesh types, recovery expectations, and post-op activity guidelines.

Treatment Pathways

Ajuda tailors hernia treatment to lifestyle and medical needs:

  • Minimally Invasive Repair: Laparoscopic TEP/TAPP with 3D mesh for superior cosmesis and quick recovery.
  • Robotic Precision: Ideal for recurrent, bilateral, or complex hernias, offering ergonomic benefits for surgeons and patients alike.
  • Open Mesh Repair: Reliable for strangulated hernias or when laparoscopy is contraindicated.
  • Complex Reconstruction: Abdominal wall reconstruction with component separation for massive incisional defects.
  • Lifestyle Optimisation: Nutrition counselling, weight loss, and smoking cessation reduce recurrence risk.
  • Rehabilitation Support: Physiotherapists deliver core strengthening and ergonomic training via in-person and tele sessions.

What to Expect: Your Care Journey

  1. Consult & Investigations: Surgeon evaluation, imaging, and anaesthetic clearance.
  2. Pre-Op Preparation: Fasting guidelines, medication adjustments, and hospital admission on surgery day.
  3. Surgery & Recovery: Minimal access repairs performed under general anaesthesia; patients mobilise within hours.
  4. Discharge & Follow-up: Most go home the next day with pain control plan and wound care instructions.
  5. Rehabilitation: Scheduled physiotherapy sessions strengthen the abdominal wall; tele follow-ups handle queries.

Technology & Innovation

Ajuda's robotic platform, 3D imaging, and energy devices (harmonic scalpel) deliver precise repairs with minimal nerve injury. EMR-integrated checklists enforce the critical view and mesh fixation protocols, aligning with international hernia society standards.

Preventing Complications

Early repair prevents incarceration, strangulation, and chronic pain. Post-operatively, structured rehabilitation and lifestyle coaching curb recurrence. We monitor high-risk patients, ensuring glycaemic control and respiratory exercises to avert infection or pulmonary issues.

Imaging confirms hernia sac contents, size, and occult defects (bilateral or femoral).

3

Risk Stratification

Assess BMI, medical comorbidities, prior surgeries, and occupational demands.

4

Surgical Planning

Decide open vs minimally invasive vs robotic route; anaesthesia team optimises patient fitness.
