Recurrent Hernia

Recurrent Hernia

A recurrent hernia occurs when a previously repaired hernia reappears in the same or nearby area. This typically happens because the original repair weakens over time, allowing tissue or an organ to push through again. Recurrent hernias may develop months or even years after the initial surgery. Fortunately, advances in Recurrent Hernia Surgery in Chennai now offer stronger, longer-lasting repairs with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.

Recurrent Hernia Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Management:
In mild or asymptomatic cases, lifestyle changes, weight control, and the use of supportive garments may provide some relief.

Surgical Repair:
Most recurrent hernias require surgery to reinforce the weakened area. Surgeons may use advanced mesh materials or perform tissue reconstruction to ensure a long-lasting repair. Hospitals in Chennai use state-of-the-art technology and personalized methods to achieve high success rates with minimal risk of recurrence.

Surgical Procedure

During Recurrent Hernia Surgery in Chennai, the surgeon re-enters the affected area or uses small incisions to access it. The herniated tissue is repositioned, and a specialized mesh is placed to strengthen the abdominal wall.

With minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic repair, patients benefit from:

  • Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
  • Less pain and faster healing
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Quicker return to everyday activities

Each procedure is tailored to the hernia’s type and complexity for optimal outcomes.
