Hernia Repair Surgery

💠 Hernia Repair Surgery

Permanent Solutions for All Types of Hernia

At Dr. Samiha Lutfi Medical Center, we provide advanced hernia repair surgeries using both laparoscopic (keyhole) and open surgical techniques, depending on each patient’s condition.
Our goal is to treat the hernia safely, reduce discomfort, and restore normal strength to the abdominal wall — with the least pain, smallest scars, and fastest recovery possible.

All procedures are led by Dr. Abdel-Hamid A. Ghazal, Consultant Surgeon and expert in minimally invasive surgery, who has decades of experience in complex abdominal and hernia repairs.

⚕️ Understanding Hernia

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall, creating a visible or painful bulge.
It will not heal on its own and requires surgical repair to prevent complications such as obstruction or strangulation.

Common Symptoms:

• Noticeable lump or bulge in the abdomen or groin

• Discomfort when lifting, coughing, or standing

• Pain, burning, or heaviness in the affected area

• Digestive problems in hiatal hernia cases

🔍 Types of Hernia We Treat

1. Umbilical Hernia

Appears near the navel (belly button) due to weakness in the abdominal wall.
Common in both men and women and may enlarge over time.
Treatment: Laparoscopic or open repair using surgical mesh for long-term strength.

2. Inguinal Hernia

Occurs in the groin area when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms: Swelling, discomfort, or pain when standing or lifting.
Treatment: Laparoscopic mesh repair — small incisions, quick recovery, and minimal scarring.

3. Hiatal Hernia

Happens when part of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm into the chest cavity.
Symptoms: Acid reflux, heartburn, or difficulty swallowing.
Treatment: Laparoscopic surgery to reposition the stomach and tighten the opening of the diaphragm.
