This advanced approach offers considerable benefits over traditional open surgery, including less post-operative pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to daily activities and work. For patients with a hiatal hernia, the procedure also focuses on relieving chronic acid reflux and heartburn by restoring the stomach to its correct position. At SurgicalSol, under the expert care of Dr. Asif Iqbal, patients receive compassionate and personalized treatment aimed at achieving a secure, long-term repair and restoring their quality of life with confidence and comfort.
Hernias (All Types)
Hernias (All Types) – Comprehensive and Personalized Repair at SurgicalSol
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types include inguinal (groin), hiatal (upper stomach), umbilical (belly button), and incisional (resulting from a surgical scar). Symptoms often involve a noticeable bulge or lump, which may be accompanied by discomfort or pain, especially when bending over, coughing, or lifting. At SurgicalSol, Dr. Asif Iqbal provides comprehensive, expert repair for all types of hernias, utilizing tailored surgical approaches to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
The primary and most effective treatment for a symptomatic hernia is surgical repair. Dr. Iqbal specializes in both minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and open surgical techniques, choosing the optimal approach based on the hernia's type, size, and location, as well as the patient's overall health. During a typical minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Iqbal makes several small incisions to access the weakened area. The protruding tissue is gently pushed back into place, and the defect is reinforced with a synthetic mesh. This mesh provides a strong, durable support that significantly reduces the risk of the hernia recurring.
