What is Hernia (Hernia)?

A hernia is a condition in which organs or tissues in the abdomen protrude from a weak point in the abdominal wall. It is most common in the groin, navel or previously operated areas. Treatment of hernia with minimally invasive surgical methods offers less tissue damage, shorter recovery time and comfortable treatment. At Metropol Health Group, modern hernia repair methods are applied with our expert teams.

How is it done?

• Laparoscopic Hernia Repair:
  A laparoscope (camera) and surgical instruments are inserted into the abdomen through small incisions.
  • The area where the hernia has formed is reinforced from the inside with a mesh.
  • With the help of the camera, intra-abdominal images are transferred to the monitor and the surgeon performs the surgery precisely using these images.
• Open Surgical Repair:
  It is performed through larger incisions and is usually preferred for complex hernias.
• Robotic Surgery:
  In cases requiring precision, the procedure is performed using robot-assisted surgery.

What are the Symptoms?

Symptoms that can be seen in case of a hernia are as follows:

• Swelling or protrusion in the groin, belly or surgery area
• Pain or discomfort when standing, coughing or lifting heavy objects
• The swelling disappears when pressed on (reducible hernia)
• Nausea, vomiting and severe pain in advanced cases

What are the Treatment Methods?

• Laparoscopic Surgery:
  Thanks to surgery performed through small incisions, the patient feels less pain and recovers faster.
• Open Surgical Repair:
  It is preferred for larger or complex hernias.
• Robotic Surgery:
  In cases requiring high precision, robot technology is used in surgical procedures.

These methods allow patients to return to their daily lives in a short time, while minimizing the risk of complications and improving quality of life.
