Understanding your hernia is the first step to a durable recovery. Dr. Kumar of Billroth Hospitals treats all varieties of abdominal and groin hernias, from common umbilical defects to highly complex recurrent cases requiring specialized reconstruction.
Frequently occurring abdominal wall and groin hernias treated using laparoscopic and robotic techniques.
The most common hernia type, occurring in the groin region when fat or bowel pushes through a muscle weakness in the inguinal canal. Far more prevalent in men.
Develops near the belly button (navel) as abdominal contents push through the umbilical ring. Common in infants, but frequently seen in adults due to pregnancy or heavy straining.
A generic classification for a bulge occurring through openings along the front wall of the abdomen. Often develops due to localized thinning of abdominal muscles or tissue strain.
Forms at the site of a prior abdominal surgical scar where the deep muscle wall was compromised. Highly prone to expansion and requires advanced laparoscopic or robotic component repairs.
Located in the midline area above the navel and below the breastbone. Frequently contains small fatty structures and is characterized by localized pain, discomfort, or tenderness.
Occurs in the femoral canal, just below the groin crease. Considerably more common in women, carrying a highly critical risk of bowel entrapment, obstruction, and strangulation.
Advanced cases requiring custom surgical templates, specialized meshes, or immediate emergency intervention.
A hernia that has returned after a previous surgical repair. Demands extreme precision, scar tissue dissection, and modern structural repairs like eTEP or TAR with customized mesh placement.
Occurs internally when the upper stomach slips upward into the chest cavity through the diaphragm hiatus. Major source of severe GERD, acid reflux, and chest discomfort.
A chronic tear of deep groin muscles/tendons common in active sports. Unlike traditional hernias, there is no visible external bulge, but it causes localized pelvic and groin pain.
A severe emergency where herniated tissue becomes tightly trapped, blocking intestinal pathways or choking vital blood supply. Requires immediate, life-saving surgery.
Includes uncommon and difficult-to-detect types such as Spigelian, Obturator, Lumbar, and Sciatic hernias. Requires high-resolution imaging and dedicated surgical experience.
