Ventral Hernia SurgeryMumbai
A ventral hernia can occur anywhere along the front abdominal wall. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers laparoscopic, robotic and open ventral hernia repair in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
What Is a Ventral Hernia?
Ventral hernias occur in the abdominal wall (the area between the ribs above, the pelvic bones below and the spine at the back) but exclude inguinal hernias. They can be primary (e.g. epigastric, umbilical, Spigelian) or secondary, such as incisional hernias at a previous surgery scar or recurrent hernias after a prior repair.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Common symptoms include a visible bulge or lump, discomfort or pain when lifting or straining, and a feeling of heaviness. Some ventral hernias cause few or no symptoms. Diagnosis is usually by clinical examination; ultrasound or CT may be used to confirm and plan surgery.
When Surgery Is Needed
Surgery is typically recommended when the hernia is symptomatic, enlarging, or at risk of complications. Leaving a ventral hernia untreated can lead to incarceration, strangulation and bowel obstruction. We recommend early consultation to plan the best repair.
Surgical Options
We offer open, laparoscopic and robotic ventral hernia repair. Laparoscopic repair uses small incisions and a camera; robotic-assisted repair adds precision for complex cases. Open repair or component separation may be needed for very large hernias. Mesh is commonly used to reinforce the repair.
