Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Hernia Surgery?

Surgery is often needed when a hernia—where tissue pushes through a weak spot in your abdominal wall—causes pain, grows larger, or risks complications like strangulation. It repairs the defect to relieve discomfort and prevent serious issues. Your doctor will advise it based on your symptoms and hernia type.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Physical exams or imaging (e.g., ultrasound) confirm the hernia’s size and location.

Anesthesia

Local, spinal, or general anesthesia is used, depending on the procedure type.

Surgical Procedure

Surgeons repair the hernia using open surgery or laparoscopy, often with mesh to reinforce the area.

Closing & Recovery

The incision is closed with stitches or staples, followed by recovery monitoring.

The procedure takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on complexity. Your surgeon will explain the method during consultation.

What Could Go Wrong?

Hernia surgery is low-risk with expert care, but potential complications include:

Infection at the surgical site

Hernia recurrence

Bleeding or blood clots

Mesh-related discomfort

Serious complications occur in less than 1% of cases. SB Medical Travels partners with top hospitals to minimize risks and ensure excellent outcomes.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation ensures a smooth surgery and recovery:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 6-8 hours if under general anesthesia

  • Discuss medications with your doctor; some may need adjustment

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing for your hospital visit

  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery

SB Medical Travels provides a detailed pre-surgery checklist and personalized guidance to prepare you fully.

How Long Until I'm Back to Normal?

Recovery Timeline:

1
Hospital Stay

Same-day discharge or 1 day, depending on the procedure.

2
First Week

Rest and avoid heavy lifting; light walking is encouraged.

3
2-4 Weeks

Gradual return to normal activities; avoid strenuous exercise.

4
6-8 Weeks

Full recovery for most, resuming all regular activities.

Our team will coordinate your recovery plan, including follow-ups and activity guidance.

Does It Hurt?

Pain management is carefully handled during and after hernia surgery:

During Surgery

Anesthesia ensures you feel no pain during the procedure.

Immediately After

Mild soreness at the incision site; pain medication helps.

Recovery Period

Discomfort fades within days; over-the-counter pain relief is often enough.

Long-Term

Rarely any lasting pain; most feel normal after healing.

Our partner hospitals focus on effective pain management, and we’ll ensure your recovery is comfortable.
