Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery in Mumbai
3D mesh laparoscopic hernia repair with rapid recovery.
What is Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or wall. Common types include umbilical, inguinal (groin), incisional and hiatus hernia.
Typical areas: abdomen, groin, umbilicus, any incision or previous abdominal surgery site, and the internal diaphragmatic hiatus. Any such bulge should be evaluated by a surgeon promptly.

Treatment at DLPC
Hernias are corrected surgically. We offer modern hernia repair including laparoscopic (key-hole) and mesh repair techniques, chosen according to the type and size of the hernia — most performed as 1 day treatment with faster recovery.
Why treat early — Implications
- Untreated hernias cause pain and discomfort and may increase in size.
- May form adhesions with surrounding tissue and fail to retract despite manual intervention or lying down.
- Complications include obstruction or strangulation — potentially life-threatening and requiring emergency surgery.
