Kimaya Clinic, 501B, 5th floor, One Place, SN 61/1/1, 61/1/3, near Salunke Vihar Road, Oxford Village, Wanowrie, Pune, Maharashtra 411040 Malwadi Rd, near Mahalaxmi Mandir, Hadapsar Shivraj Chowk, Plot No 38, Pune - Nagar Rd, near Bhaji Market, Chandan Nagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411014A hernia occurs when an internal organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Hernias are most commonly found in the abdominal region, including the groin, belly button, and areas of previous surgical incisions.
Inguinal Hernia is the most common type, accounting for the majority of all hernia cases. It occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal fat protrudes through the inguinal canal in the groin. Men are significantly more prone to inguinal hernias due to anatomical differences. Symptoms include a visible bulge in the groin, discomfort while bending or coughing, and a dragging sensation in the lower abdomen.
Surgical repair is the only definitive treatment for an inguinal hernia. At Pristyn Care, our surgeons in Pune perform laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TEP or TAPP technique), which involves small incisions, a surgical mesh for reinforcement, and a significantly shorter recovery period compared to open surgery. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and resume routine activities within a few days.
At Pristyn Care, a hernia is typically diagnosed through a physical examination by a general surgeon. During the examination, the surgeon checks the affected area for a visible bulge, which is one of the most common signs of a hernia. To ensure an accurate diagnosis, the patient may be asked to stand, strain, or cough, as these actions can make the hernia more noticeable.
The surgeon also reviews the patient’s medical history and symptoms. In some cases, additional diagnostic tests may be recommended to get a clearer view of the affected area and confirm the diagnosis.
A hernia may be present with or without symptoms. However, seeking timely treatment is important to prevent complications such as strangulation or bowel obstruction. At Pristyn Care, our general surgeons in Pune offer both open and laparoscopic hernia repair depending on the type, size, and patient condition.
Your surgeon will review your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and may order imaging tests. You will be advised to fast for several hours before the procedure and to stop certain medications if applicable.
Laparoscopic hernia repair involves small incisions through which a camera and instruments are inserted. A surgical mesh is typically placed to reinforce the weakened abdominal wall. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 45 to 90 minutes.
Most patients are discharged on the same day or within 24 hours. Mild discomfort is normal and manageable with prescribed medication. Most patients resume light daily activities within a few days, with full recovery expected in 2 to 4 weeks depending on the type of repair performed.

Hernias may cause discomfort or pain, especially when you cough, bend over, or lift heavy objects. The intensity varies depending on the type and size of the hernia.
Delaying treatment can lead to serious complications such as incarceration or strangulation of the hernia, which may require emergency surgery. Early intervention is strongly recommended.
A hernia is treated with a surgical procedure. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the hernia either using traditional or laparoscopic techniques.
No. A hernia can’t be cured without surgery. With non-surgical treatment, the symptoms can be managed for a while but eventually, surgery is the only option.
Yes. Hernia treatment is covered under an insurance policy regardless of the city. A hernia is a critical illness that can be fatal if not treated on time. Its treatment comes under medically necessary procedures. Thus, most insurance providers offer ample coverage for hernia treatment. To learn more about insurance coverage, talk to the insurance provider.
During the procedure, you will be under general or local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain. Some soreness and mild discomfort are expected after surgery, which can be managed effectively with prescribed medication.
Mesh-based hernia repair has high long-term success rates. Recurrence is uncommon when performed by an experienced surgeon, though lifestyle factors such as heavy lifting or obesity can influence outcomes.
Most patients with desk jobs can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks. Those with physically demanding roles may need 3 to 4 weeks before resuming full activity.
