What Is Inguinal Hernia?

An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue — such as part of the intestine — pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles into the inguinal canal in the groin. It appears as a visible bulge that may become more prominent when coughing, bending, or lifting heavy objects. Inguinal hernias are significantly more common in men due to the anatomy of the inguinal canal.

SurgiKure performs laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal) or TAPP (Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) techniques through 3 tiny keyhole incisions. USFDA-approved lightweight mesh reinforces the weak abdominal wall for a durable repair with a recurrence rate of less than 1-2%.

Common Symptoms

A bulge in the groin on either or both sidesPain or discomfort in the groin when coughing, bending, or liftingHeavy or dragging sensation in the groinSwelling around the testicleBurning or aching at the bulge sitePain that worsens throughout the day

Types & Grades

Reducible Hernia

The bulge can be pushed back in when lying down. Elective surgery is recommended to prevent complications.

Irreducible Hernia

Hernia contents are trapped and cannot be pushed back. Requires early surgery.

Strangulated Hernia

Blood supply to the trapped tissue is cut off — a surgical emergency requiring immediate operation.

Treatment Options

1

Laparoscopic TEP Repair

Totally Extraperitoneal repair. The abdominal cavity is not entered. A lightweight USFDA-approved mesh is placed behind the abdominal wall through 3 tiny incisions. Minimal pain, fastest recovery.

2

Laparoscopic TAPP Repair

Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal repair. Particularly effective for bilateral inguinal hernias — both sides repaired simultaneously through the same incisions.

3

Open Lichtenstein Repair

A single groin incision with mesh placement. Used when laparoscopy is not feasible. Effective but longer recovery than keyhole techniques.

4

Watchful Waiting

For elderly or high-risk patients with small, asymptomatic hernias. Regular monitoring with prompt surgery if symptoms develop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hernia be treated without surgery?
No. Inguinal hernias do not heal on their own. Surgery is the only permanent treatment. Trusses (support belts) are not a cure.
How soon can I return to work after hernia surgery?
After laparoscopic repair, desk workers return to work in 5-7 days. Physical labourers may need 3-4 weeks.
Can inguinal hernia recur after surgery?
Recurrence after laparoscopic mesh repair is less than 1-2% — the lowest of all hernia repair techniques.
Is hernia surgery covered by insurance?
Yes. Inguinal hernia repair is covered by most health insurance policies. SurgiKure handles all documentation and cashless claims.
