Inguinal Hernia (Groin Hernia) Treatment in Delhi

Advanced Laparoscopic & Robotic Hernia Surgery by Dr. Nishant Kurian at PSRI Hospital, Saket

Experiencing swelling, pain, or discomfort in the groin area? It may be an inguinal hernia (groin hernia), a common condition that can gradually worsen if left untreated.

Dr. Nishant Kurian, Consultant in the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at PSRI Hospital, Saket, Delhi, offers advanced laparoscopic and robotic hernia surgery focused on faster recovery, minimal pain, and reduced scarring.

What Is an Inguinal (Groin) Hernia?

An inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall near the groin.

It commonly appears as:
  • A visible swelling or bulge in the groin
  • Pain or heaviness while standing, coughing, or lifting
  • Discomfort that improves while lying down

Groin hernias are more common in men but can also occur in women.

Common Symptoms of Groin Hernia

You may need medical evaluation if you experience:

Symptoms often become more noticeable with physical activity or prolonged standing.

Causes & Risk Factors

Several factors can weaken the abdominal wall and increase the risk of hernia formation.

Why Early Hernia Treatment Is Important

Ignoring a hernia can lead to serious complications and emergency surgery.

Possible Complications:
  • Strangulated hernia
  • Severe pain and swelling
  • Intestinal obstruction
  • Reduced blood supply to the intestine
  • Emergency hospitalization

Early treatment allows safer surgery and quicker recovery.

Hernia Treatment Options

Surgery is the only permanent treatment for an inguinal hernia. Modern minimally invasive techniques provide better recovery, less pain, and smaller scars.

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive procedure performed using small incisions and mesh repair.

Benefits:

Robotic Hernia Surgery

Robotic-assisted hernia surgery offers enhanced precision and high-definition visualization, especially useful in complex or recurrent hernias.

Advantages:

TAPP Hernia Repair

(TAPP – Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair)

In this laparoscopic technique, mesh is placed from inside the abdominal cavity to strengthen the weak area.

Recommended For:

TEP / eTEP Hernia Surgery

TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal) and eTEP are advanced laparoscopic techniques performed without entering the abdominal cavity.

Benefits:

Open Hernia Surgery

Open surgery may be advised in selected cases such as:

The ideal procedure depends on the patient’s condition and surgical evaluation.

Non-Surgical Management

Non-surgical methods may provide temporary relief but do not permanently cure a hernia.

Temporary Measures:
  • Hernia belt or truss
  • Avoiding heavy lifting
  • Weight management
  • Treating constipation or chronic cough
  • Lifestyle modifications

Surgery remains the definitive treatment.

When Should You Consult a Hernia Specialist?

Consult a hernia specialist if you notice:
  • Persistent groin swelling
  • Increasing size of the bulg
  • Pain during lifting or coughing
  • Sudden severe pain
  • Nausea or vomiting with swelling

Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and allows planned minimally invasive treatment.
