Hernia Surgery in Yerwada Pune | Dr. Abhijit Jagdale
A hernia is a common yet potentially serious medical condition that occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. If left untreated, a hernia can enlarge over time, cause significant discomfort, and lead to complications requiring emergency care.
Dr. Abhijit Jagdale, a highly experienced Consultant GI & Liver Transplant Surgeon in Yerwada, Pune, offers advanced and patient-focused hernia surgery for inguinal and abdominal hernias, using modern surgical techniques to ensure faster recovery, minimal pain, and long-term relief.
What Is a Hernia?
A hernia develops when internal tissues—commonly part of the intestine—protrude through a weak area of the abdominal wall. Hernias often appear as a visible bulge and may become more noticeable while coughing, lifting heavy objects, or standing for long periods.
Hernias do not heal on their own and usually require surgical repair to prevent progression and complications such as obstruction or strangulation of the intestine.
Types of Hernias Treated
Inguinal Hernia
This is the most common type of hernia, especially in men. It occurs in the groin area when part of the intestine pushes through the inguinal canal.
Common symptoms include:
A bulge in the groin or scrotum
Pain or discomfort while bending, lifting, or coughing
A heavy or dragging sensation in the groin
Abdominal (Ventral) Hernia
Abdominal hernias occur through the abdominal wall and may include umbilical, incisional, or epigastric hernias.
Symptoms may include:
Visible swelling or bulge on the abdomen
Pain or pressure at the site of the hernia
Discomfort that worsens with activity
When Is Hernia Surgery Required?
Hernia surgery is recommended when:
The hernia is painful or increasing in size
Daily activities are affected
There is a risk of complications such as bowel obstruction
Conservative management fails to relieve symptoms
Dr. Abhijit Jagdale carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most appropriate surgical approach based on hernia type, size, and overall health.
Hernia Surgery Options
Open Hernia Surgery
A traditional and reliable method where the hernia is repaired through a single incision. A mesh is often placed to strengthen the abdominal wall and reduce recurrence.
Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
A minimally invasive technique performed through small keyhole incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. This approach offers:
Less postoperative pain
Smaller scars
Faster recovery
Early return to work and daily activities
