Minimally invasive hernia surgery with mesh reinforcement. Faster recovery, less pain, and excellent long-term results.
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or tissue wall that normally holds it in place. They're most common in the abdomen but can also occur in the upper thigh, belly button, and groin areas.
Dr. Krishnani specializes in laparoscopic hernia repair using the TEP (Totally Extra-Peritoneal) and TAPP (Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) techniques, offering patients the benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
Most common type occurring in the groin area. Can be direct or indirect.

Laparoscopic hernia repair offers smaller incisions (3 tiny cuts vs one large cut), less pain, faster recovery (1-2 weeks vs 4-6 weeks), minimal scarring, and lower infection risk. It's especially beneficial for bilateral or recurrent hernias.
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It often appears as a bulge that may come and go.
Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 days and resume normal work within a week. Heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Mesh significantly reduces recurrence rates (from 10-15% to less than 2%). Modern meshes are safe, well-tolerated, and integrate with body tissue.
Yes, hernias can become incarcerated (stuck) or strangulated (blood supply cut off), which are surgical emergencies. Elective repair is safer than emergency surgery.
