A hernia is fixed with surgery by pushing the organ or tissue back to where it belongs. The weak area in the muscle is then strengthened using stitches or a special mesh to stop the hernia from coming back.

Hernia Repair with Mesh
For large hernias, surgery involves removing scar tissue, closing the muscle gap, and reinforcing it with mesh for added strength. The type of mesh used is chosen for the best outcome.
Benefits of Mesh
Lower Recurrence Risk
Strengthens the area to prevent hernia return.
Less Tissue Strain
Reduces muscle tension, potentially lowering pain.
Risks of Mesh
Infection
May need treatment or removal.
Complications
Mesh movement or adhesion can cause pain.
Chronic Discomfort
Some patients may feel long-term pain due to scarring or nerve irritation.
Choosing the Right Option
The best approach depends on hernia size, location, and your health. Our surgeon will help you decide between mesh or non-mesh repair for the safest, most effective treatment.
Hernia Repair with No-Mesh
or some hernias, using your body's natural tissue to stitch and close the muscle can be effective. Techniques like Shouldice and Desarda use this approach without mesh.
Benefits of No-Mesh
No Mesh Issues
Reduces risks of infection, migration, or other mesh-related complications.
Lower Risk of Long-Term Pain
Minimizes nerve irritation and scarring.
Good for Smaller Hernias
Effective for less complex, small hernias.
Drawbacks of No-Mesh Repair
Higher Recurrence Risk
More likely to come back, especially for larger hernias.
Less Suitable for Complex Cases
May not be strong enough for larger or more challenging hernias.
Finding the Right Option
Your hernia treatment depends on its size and location. Our surgeon will help you choose the best method—whether mesh or no-mesh—for a safe and successful recovery.
