Advanced keyhole surgery for inguinal, umbilical, and ventral hernias — faster recovery, minimal scarring, proven results.
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue — most commonly in the abdominal wall. Common types include inguinal hernias (groin), umbilical hernias (near the navel), and ventral/incisional hernias (through a previous surgical scar).
Hernias don't heal on their own and generally require surgical repair, especially if they cause pain, grow larger, or risk becoming strangulated (a medical emergency).
A lump that may be more noticeable when standing or straining
Aching or pulling sensation, worse with activity
Increased discomfort during exertion or coughing
Severe pain, redness, nausea — seek immediate care
Dr. Asad specializes in minimally invasive (keyhole) hernia repair, offering significant advantages over traditional open surgery:
Rest with light walking encouraged. Mild soreness managed with medication.
Return to desk work and light activity for most patients.
Gradual return to exercise and heavy lifting, per Dr. Asad's guidance.
Laparoscopic hernia repair typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on hernia size and complexity.
Recurrence rates are low with mesh-based laparoscopic repair, though avoiding heavy strain during recovery further reduces this risk.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks. Light walking is encouraged from day one to support circulation and healing.
