✅Introduction
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall, often causing pain or discomfort. While some hernias may not be dangerous initially, they don’t heal on their own and usually require surgery to prevent complications. At Armada Medical Centre, Dubai, our experienced surgeons specialize in safe and effective hernia repair procedures to help you return to normal life quickly.

🔍What Is Hernia Repair Surgery?
Hernia repair surgery (herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty) is a procedure to push the bulging tissue back into place and strengthen the weakened area of the abdominal wall. Without treatment, hernias can grow larger, become painful, or even lead to serious complications like strangulation (cutting off blood supply).

🩺Types of Hernia Repair Surgery
1. Open Hernia Repair

  • A single incision is made over the hernia.
  • The protruding tissue is repositioned.
  • The weak spot is reinforced, often with a mesh.
  • Suitable for large or complicated hernias.

2. Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Hernia Repair

  • Small incisions with a camera and surgical tools.
  • Less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery.
  • Often recommended for recurrent or bilateral (both sides) hernias.

3. Types of Hernias Treated at Armada Medical Centre

  • Inguinal Hernia (groin area – most common in men)
  • Umbilical Hernia (belly button area – common in children & women after pregnancy)
  • Epigastric Hernia (upper abdomen)
  • Femoral Hernia (near the thigh – more common in women)
  • Incisional Hernia (through scar tissue after previous surgery)

⏱What to Expect Before and During Surgery

  • Before Surgery: Your doctor will review your health history, perform physical exams, and may recommend blood tests or imaging.
  • During Surgery:

Procedure usually lasts 30–90 minutes.
Performed under general or local anesthesia.
Same-day discharge for most patients (Day Surgery).

💡Recovery After Hernia Surgery

  • Hospital Stay: Most patients go home the same day.
  • Pain: Mild discomfort for a few days, managed with medication.
  • Work & Activity: Light activities within 1–2 weeks; avoid heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks.
  • Diet: Soft, easily digestible foods for the first few days to avoid straining.
  • Follow-up: Regular check-ups at Armada Medical Centre to ensure proper healing.

⚠Possible Risks (Rare)

  • Infection at the incision site
  • Recurrence of the hernia
  • Temporary numbness or discomfort
  • Mesh-related complications (rare with modern techniques)
  • Our skilled surgeons use the latest techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best outcomes.
