Open Hernia Surgery

Open Hernia Surgery is a well-established and reliable method of repairing different types of hernias through a small incision directly over the affected area. This approach allows the surgeon to clearly access the weakened muscle and provide a strong repair using sutures and/or mesh.

At Dr. Goel’s Clinic, open hernia repair is performed with precision, modern mesh techniques, and a focus on long-term durability and patient comfort.

What Is Open Hernia Surgery?

In open hernia repair, a small incision is made over the hernia site. The protruding tissue is gently placed back into position and the weakened area of the abdominal wall is strengthened—usually with a mesh—for long-lasting support and to prevent recurrence.

  • Direct access to the hernia site
  • Precise repair of large or complex hernias
  • Suitable for patients not ideal for laparoscopy
  • Durable mesh reinforcement for strong results

This method is safe, effective, and widely used across all hernia types.

When Is Open Hernia Surgery Recommended?

Dr. Goel may recommend open repair in cases such as:

  • Large or long-standing hernias
  • Recurrent hernias after previous surgery
  • Patients unfit for general anesthesia
  • Complex abdominal wall defects
  • Incarcerated or strangulated hernias

Open surgery is also a preferred option for hernias located close to previous surgical scars.

Types of Hernias Treated with Open Repair

Open hernia surgery is effective for many hernia types, including:

  • Inguinal hernia
  • Umbilical hernia
  • Incisional hernia
  • Ventral & epigastric hernia
  • Femoral hernia
  • Recurrent hernias

Each repair is planned individually based on the size and type of hernia.

Advantages of Open Hernia Surgery

Open hernia repair offers several important benefits:

  • Can be done under local, spinal, or general anesthesia
  • Ideal for large or complicated hernias
  • Direct visibility for accurate repair
  • Strong mesh-based reinforcement
  • Suitable for patients with prior abdominal surgeries

The recovery is smooth, and most patients return to routine activities in a short time.

When to Consult a Specialist

You should meet Dr. Gautam Goel if you experience:

  • A noticeable bulge in the abdomen or groin
  • Pain during walking, lifting, or coughing
  • Increasing discomfort or pressure
