Complex and Recurrent Hernia Surgery

Complex and Recurrent Hernia Surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at repairing hernias that are large, complicated, or have recurred after previous surgical attempts. These cases require advanced surgical skills, precise planning, and individualized care. Dr. Apoorv Goel, a highly experienced laparoscopic and gastrointestinal surgeon, is renowned for successfully managing such challenging hernia cases with state-of-the-art techniques. Complex hernias may involve multiple abdominal wall defects, loss of domain (where abdominal contents remain outside the abdominal cavity), or previous mesh infections. Recurrent hernias occur when a previously repaired hernia reappears, often due to inadequate healing, infection, or excessive strain.

Dr. Goel employs a multidisciplinary approach for these surgeries, often utilizing laparoscopic, robotic, or open techniques depending on the severity and location of the hernia. Advanced procedures such as component separation, use of biological or composite mesh, and abdominal wall reconstruction are often necessary in complex cases. These surgeries not only restore structural integrity but also improve abdominal wall function and appearance.

Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, including imaging studies like CT scans, to determine the most appropriate surgical strategy. Postoperative care is carefully managed to prevent recurrence, including guidance on activity modification, weight management, and follow-up visits. Recovery time may be slightly longer compared to standard hernia repairs, but with Dr. Apoorv Goel’s expertise and meticulous technique, outcomes are significantly improved. Complex and recurrent hernia surgery under expert hands offers patients renewed quality of life, reduced pain, and long-term durability of repair.
