Hernia Surgery

A hernia is a condition where internal organs or tissues protrude through a weakened abdominal wall.

It most commonly occurs in the groin, navel, or around postoperative scars.

At Medical Time hospital, we perform hernia surgeries using modern, minimally invasive methods that allow for quick recovery and a minimal risk of recurrence.

Surgical intervention is the most effective way to permanently resolve a hernia, and it is routinely performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia.

Regardless of the hernia's size, early intervention reduces the risk of serious complications and shortens recovery time.

Our team uses an individualized approach for each patient, with the highest level of safety and comfort.

Consultations with a specialist are the first step towards solving the hernia problem and planning the optimal treatment.

When is hernia surgery necessary?

Hernia surgery is recommended when there is pain, discomfort, or an enlargement of the bulge in the abdominal wall.

It is also necessary in cases where there is a risk of strangulation, which can cause serious complications.

A strangulated hernia requires emergency surgery to prevent damage to the intestines or other organs.

Even small hernias can become serious if not treated in time.

People who feel pain or see changes in the abdominal wall should contact a surgeon immediately.

Early detection and treatment of a hernia contribute to a faster and more successful recovery.

Our doctors perform a detailed examination and recommend the appropriate treatment method based on the findings.

Types of hernias and surgical methods

The most common types of hernias are inguinal, femoral, umbilical, incisional, and ventral hernias.

At Medical Time, we perform surgeries using the open method and laparoscopic technique, depending on the type of hernia and the patient's general health.

With the open method, a smaller incision is made, while laparoscopy allows for smaller scars, faster recovery, and a shorter hospital stay.

In both cases, a mesh is used to strengthen the abdominal wall, which reduces the risk of the hernia reappearing.

The choice of surgical technique is made after diagnostic procedures and a discussion with the surgeon.

Regardless of the method, the goal is the safe and permanent elimination of the hernia with minimal postoperative discomfort.

The modern techniques we use guarantee high aesthetic and functional results.

What does the surgery and recovery look like?

The surgery lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the complexity and type of hernia.

Most patients are discharged home the same day or after a one-day stay in the hospital.

A return to daily activities is possible within 7 to 10 days, with the avoidance of physical exertion in the first few weeks.

Full recovery takes 4 to 6 weeks, and the risk of complications is minimal if the doctor's postoperative recommendations are followed.

Instructions for wound care, diet, and a gradual return to physical activity are given to each patient.

Regular check-ups are important for monitoring healing and preventing possible complications.

Our team provides comprehensive support throughout the entire recovery period.
