Inguinal Hernia Treatment
An inguinal hernia occurs when soft tissue, usually part of the intestine, bulges through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall near the groin. It can cause pain, discomfort, and a visible lump, especially when standing or straining. At Sarthi Care, we offer advanced herniorrhaphy and laparoscopic hernia repair for fast and long-lasting relief.
Herniorrhaphy involves repositioning the herniated tissue and strengthening the abdominal wall with or without a mesh. Depending on the case, we offer:
Open hernia repair
Laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia surgery for minimal scarring and quicker recovery
Discharge on the same or next day
Light activity in 2–3 days
Full recovery typically in 7–10 days
For laparoscopic surgery, healing is faster with less discomfort
Surgical repair is the only permanent solution for an inguinal hernia. When performed by our experienced surgeons, recurrence rates are extremely low.

Notice a bulge in your groin that increases with coughing or standing
