Hernia surgery in Hyderabad is the most common treatment, which involves repairing the weak muscle or connective tissue using open, laparoscopic, or robot-assisted methods.

• Open hernia surgery: This is a traditional hernia treatment method to repair a hernia. in this, the surgeon cuts the groin to view and repair the hernia. After repairing the hernia, the surgeon uses stitches alone or stitches and a piece of mesh to close the abdominal wall. The mesh is designed to support the weak area of the abdominal wall where the hernia occurs.
• Laparoscopic hernia surgery: The surgeon makes several small cuts in the lower abdomen and inserts special tools to view and repair the hernia. The surgeon typically uses a piece of mesh to close and strengthen the abdominal wall. Some surgeons opt for robotic repair, which means they sit at a console controlling robotic arms that perform the surgery.
• Robotic Surgery: This is a type of laparoscopic surgery that uses a robotic device to assist the surgeon in making precise movements during the procedure.
• Mesh Repair: In this type of surgery, a synthetic mesh is used to reinforce the weakened area of the abdominal wall, reducing the likelihood of recurrence.
