Laparoscopic Hernia Repair in Dubai
A hernia is part of the bowel or fatty tissue pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, showing as a bulge that grows when you cough or stand. We treat inguinal, umbilical, incisional and femoral hernias.
How is a hernia repaired?
Repair usually involves a mesh that reinforces the abdominal wall, placed either laparoscopically through small cuts or through an open incision, depending on the hernia's type, size and any previous surgery.
Risks
Bruising, fluid collection, infection, occasional long-term pain in the area and the hernia coming back. Your surgeon advises on hospital stay, return to work and lifting.
Emergency signs
Sudden severe pain at the hernia, a hard or red bulge that will not go back, vomiting, or not passing wind or stool: go to the emergency department straight away.
