Question 1

What is the best treatment for incisional hernia in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Surgery is the definitive treatment. Laparoscopic and robotic incisional hernia repair are often preferred when feasible, offering less pain and faster recovery. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers open, laparoscopic and robotic repair at Hernia Surgery Clinic in Bandra and Vashi.

Question 2

How much does incisional hernia surgery cost in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Incisional hernia surgery cost in Mumbai depends on hernia size, previous repairs, and technique (open, laparoscopic, robotic, component separation). We provide clear estimates at consultation. Contact our clinic for pricing tailored to your case.

Question 3

How long is recovery after incisional hernia surgery?

Accepted Answer

With laparoscopic or robotic repair, many patients go home within one to two days and return to light activities within weeks. Heavy lifting is usually restricted for six to eight weeks. Open or component separation may involve longer recovery. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline.

Question 4

Can incisional hernia be repaired laparoscopically in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many incisional hernias can be repaired using laparoscopic or robotic techniques. Benefits include less pain, shorter stay and faster recovery. Very large or complex hernias may require open surgery or component separation. Dr. Sharad Sharma will recommend the best approach.

Question 5

Why do incisional hernias develop after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Incisional hernias occur when the abdominal wall weakens at the site of a previous surgical incision. Risk factors include wound infection, obesity, malnutrition, smoking, and strain. They can appear months or years after the original surgery.

Question 6

What is the recurrence rate after incisional hernia surgery in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Recurrence depends on hernia size, technique, mesh use, and patient factors. Expert repair with mesh and proper technique reduces the risk. Dr. Sharad Sharma has extensive experience in incisional and recurrent hernia repair with high success rates.

Question 8

Is mesh always used for incisional hernia repair in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Mesh is commonly used to reinforce the repair and reduce recurrence, especially for larger defects. In some cases, non-mesh or biologic options may be considered. Your surgeon will discuss the best option for your hernia and overall health.

Question 9

What are the signs that an incisional hernia needs urgent surgery?

Accepted Answer

Seek urgent care if you have severe pain, nausea, vomiting, or if the bulge becomes hard, red, or cannot be pushed back. These may indicate incarceration or strangulation. For routine symptomatic hernias, book a consultation to plan elective repair.
