What is Hernia Surgery?
Hernia surgery pushes a bulge of tissue back into place and strengthens the weak area in the muscle wall, usually with a mesh. Common types are inguinal (groin), umbilical and incisional hernias.
Hernia Surgery cost
The price depends on the hospital, the surgeon's experience, the anaesthesia used, the length of the hospital stay and the tests needed before surgery. Each doctor below shows a starting price; the final price is confirmed after the consultation.
Benefits
- Removes the bulge and discomfort
- Prevents serious complications such as a trapped bowel
- Mesh repair lowers the chance of return
Possible side effects
- Pain and swelling at the site
- Bruising
- Rarely infection or the hernia coming back
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Your surgeon will explain the risks for your case.
Types of hernia surgery
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Open repair | Through one cut over the hernia |
| Laparoscopic repair | Through small keyhole cuts |
How it is done
- Assessment: Examination and sometimes a scan
- Anaesthesia: General or local
- Repair: Tissue is pushed back and the wall reinforced
- Recovery: Often home the same day
