Hernia Treatment in Vijayawada
A hernia rarely goes away on its own — and left untreated, it can grow larger and lead to serious complications.

Using advanced minimally invasive techniques, he delivers safe, precise hernia surgery in Vijayawada with smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster return to everyday life.
WHAT IS A HERNIA?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It most often appears as a noticeable bulge or lump, usually in the abdomen or groin, which may become more prominent when you cough, lift heavy objects, or strain.
Hernias do not heal on their own and tend to enlarge over time. While some cause little discomfort at first, they can lead to pain and serious complications if the trapped tissue loses its blood supply. Timely evaluation and, when needed, surgical repair are the most reliable way to treat a hernia and prevent future problems.
Dr. Surendra Jasti provides accurate diagnosis and modern surgical treatment for all types of hernia in Vijayawada, tailored to each patient’s condition and health.
COMMON TYPES OF HERNIA
Hernias can develop in different parts of the body. The most common types treated at Crest Hospital include:
Inguinal hernia
- The most common type, occurring in the groin. It is more frequent in men and appears when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall.
Umbilical hernia
- Occurs near the navel (belly button) when part of the intestine pushes through the abdominal wall. Common in infants but also seen in adults.
Incisional hernia
- Develops at the site of a previous surgical incision where the abdominal wall has weakened.
Hiatal hernia
- Occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest, often causing acid reflux.
Femoral hernia
- Appears in the upper thigh or groin, more common in women and requiring prompt attention.
Whether you need inguinal or umbilical hernia surgery or repair of a more complex hernia, Dr. Surendra Jasti recommends the safest, most effective approach for your case.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A HERNIA
Recognizing gallbladder signs and symptoms early helps prevent serious complications.
Recognizing a hernia early makes treatment simpler and recovery faster. Common signs include:
- A visible bulge or lump in the abdomen or groin
- Discomfort or pain, especially when bending, coughing, or lifting
- A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected area
- Swelling that becomes more noticeable when standing and eases when lying down
- In hiatal hernias, acid reflux, heartburn, or difficulty swallowing
Seek medical care urgently if a hernia becomes suddenly painful, firm, or discolored — this may signal a trapped (strangulated) hernia that needs emergency treatment.
WHY HERNIA TREATMENT SHOULD NOT BE DELAYED
A hernia will not resolve without treatment, and delaying care often makes surgery more complex later. Over time, an untreated hernia can grow larger, become more painful, and interfere with daily activities.
The most serious risk is strangulation, where the trapped tissue loses its blood supply — a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate surgery. Early treatment allows for a planned, minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair with a smoother recovery. Consulting a specialist as soon as you notice symptoms is always the safest choice.
HERNIA TREATMENT OPTIONS IN VIJAYAWADA
Surgery is the only definitive cure for a hernia. Dr. Surendra Jasti offers modern surgical options tailored to the type, size, and severity of your hernia.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive technique performed through a few small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. A surgical mesh is placed to strengthen the weakened area. This approach offers smaller scars, less post-operative pain, lower infection risk, and a faster return to normal activities — making it the preferred choice for many patients.
Robotic Hernia Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery gives the surgeon enhanced precision, control, and visualization, which is especially valuable for complex or recurrent hernias. It combines the benefits of minimally invasive surgery with exceptional accuracy.
Open Hernia Repair
In certain cases — such as very large, complex, or emergency hernias — open surgery may be the most appropriate option. Dr. Surendra Jasti evaluates each patient carefully to recommend the safest technique for a lasting repair.

Is laparoscopic hernia repair safe?
Yes. It is a safe, minimally invasive procedure with smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery than open surgery.
How long is recovery after hernia surgery?
Most patients resume light daily activities within a few days and return to normal routines within 1–2 weeks after laparoscopic repair.
Which is the most common type of hernia?
Inguinal (groin) hernia is the most common, especially in men, followed by umbilical hernia near the navel.
When is a hernia an emergency?
If the bulge becomes suddenly painful, firm, or discolored, seek care immediately — it may be strangulated and need urgent surgery.
