Richter Hernia is a type of hernia that occurs when the edge of the intestine, usually the ileum, protrudes through a weakened wall of the abdomen. This type of hernia is most commonly seen in older adults and can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and an overall decrease in quality of life.Â
Richter hernia can be caused by a variety of factors, such as damage to the abdominal wall due to surgery, trauma, or a chronic condition like Crohn’s disease. Treatment for richter hernia usually involves surgery i.e., herniorrhaphy, as well as lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence. The surgery involves repairing the weak area of the abdominal wall and reinforcing it with synthetic material to prevent the hernia from returning.Â

I recently underwent hernia surgery under Dr. Abhilash Madhavan, and I am extremely satisfied with the treatment. The doctor explained the condition, surgery procedure and recovery plan very clearly, which gave me full confidence before the operation. The surgery went smoothly and my recovery has been excellent. Till the bandage removal, the support and follow-up from the doctor and medical team were very good. I would like to give special appreciation to Mr. Arun from Pristyn Care – Medical Counsellor. He guided me from the very beginning, answered all my queries with patience and made sure I was mentally comfortable before and after the surgery. His continuous support truly made the experience easier. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome of my surgery. My sincere thanks to Dr. Abhilash Madhavan, Mr. Arun from Pristyn Care, and the entire team for their dedication and care. I definitely recommend them for hernia treatment.
