FAQs
How much does hernia surgery cost?
The cost varies with hernia size, mesh quality and whether open or laparoscopic repair is chosen. Hernia surgery is covered by most health insurance policies, so request an estimate and confirm your cover before admission.
Will the hernia come back after surgery?
A properly done mesh repair is permanent for most people. Recurrence rates are low, usually under five percent, when post-surgery precautions are followed.
Is hernia surgery safe?
Hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the world. With modern anaesthesia and mesh techniques it is considered very safe, even for older patients.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients go home the same day or the next morning. Desk work resumes in about a week, while lifting and strenuous activity wait four to six weeks.
Is it a one-time procedure?
Yes, it is a one-time operation. A follow-up visit or two afterwards is all that is usually needed to confirm healing.
What side effects should I expect?
Mild soreness, swelling or bruising near the repair is normal for a few days. Long-term mesh problems are rare with modern materials.
Open or laparoscopic, which repair is better?
Small first-time hernias may suit open repair, while bilateral or recurrent hernias usually do better with laparoscopic repair. The right choice depends on your examination.
