Incisional Hernia Treatment in Visakhapatnam

Incisional Hernia treatment at SurgiKure Visakhapatnam

An incisional hernia develops at the site of a previous surgical scar, where the abdominal wall has been weakened. It can appear months or even years after the original operation. SurgiKure repairs these — including recurrent ones — laparoscopically with mesh.

What is an Incisional Hernia?

An incisional hernia forms through the scar of an earlier abdominal operation, where the healing muscle has left a weak point. Tissue or bowel then pushes through, creating a bulge near the old incision. These hernias can appear long after the original surgery and tend to grow steadily, sometimes becoming large and complex if neglected.

Symptoms to Watch For

A bulge or swelling at or near a previous surgical scar
The bulge enlarging when standing, coughing or lifting
Aching, pressure or pulling around the old incision
Discomfort that worsens through the day
A previously repaired hernia returning (recurrence)

Why Treatment Matters

Incisional hernias enlarge over time and are more prone to complications than many other types, because the defect is often larger and the surrounding tissue already weakened. Repairing them earlier — before they grow — makes for a simpler operation and a better outcome. SurgiKure also specialises in recurrent hernias where an earlier repair has failed.

Incisional Hernia Treatment at SurgiKure

Incisional hernias are repaired laparoscopically wherever possible, placing a large mesh to bridge and reinforce the weakened area. Keyhole repair avoids re-opening the original wound, which means less pain and lower infection risk. Complex or very large incisional hernias are assessed individually and treated with advanced mesh techniques by Dr. Polisetti Ramachandra Rao.
