An inguinal hernia, one of the most common types of hernia, occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles in the groin area. At SurgicalSol, Dr. Asif Iqbal specializes in repairing these hernias using advanced minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques. The procedure involves making small incisions to access the hernia defect and gently pushing the protruding tissue back into place. A synthetic mesh is then securely placed over the weakened area to provide a strong, durable reinforcement that significantly reduces the risk of the hernia returning.
This laparoscopic approach, preferred by Dr. Iqbal, offers tremendous benefits over traditional open surgery. Patients experience less post-operative pain, minimal visible scarring, and a much quicker return to daily activities and work. The use of mesh is a standard of care for a robust repair. Dr. Iqbal’s meticulous technique ensures both comfort and long-term success, allowing patients to resume their active lives with confidence, free from the bulge and discomfort of a groin hernia.
