Hernia Treatment in Mumbai.
39 Years of Trusted Surgical Care in Goregaon West. Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital is an NABH-accredited hospital offering complete hernia treatment in Mumbai: laparoscopic, open and TAR repair, clear cost guidance, 100% cashless insurance and 24x7 emergency surgery for trapped hernias.
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle or abdominal wall. It can appear as a visible lump or swelling and may cause pain, pressure, heaviness or discomfort, especially while coughing, bending, lifting heavy objects or standing for long periods. Common types include inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias. While some hernias may cause only mild symptoms at first, they usually do not heal on their own and may become more uncomfortable over time. Early medical evaluation can help identify the type and severity of the hernia and determine the right treatment approach.
Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital offers hernia treatment in Mumbai with diagnosis and treatment planned according to each patient’s condition. Depending on the size, location and symptoms of the hernia, the doctor may recommend open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia surgery. The aim of treatment is to repair the weakened area, reduce discomfort and lower the risk of complications. Patients also receive guidance on recovery, activity, wound care and precautions after surgery to help them return to their normal routine safely and comfortably.
About Hernia Treatment in Mumbai at Kapadia Hospital.
Heavy lifting, chronic cough, constipation, obesity, pregnancy and old surgical scars all add strain on the abdominal wall, which is why most hernias appear in the groin, at the belly button or through an old surgical scar.
Because a hernia usually grows slowly, surgery is the only permanent fix, and a planned repair is simpler and safer than an emergency operation for a trapped hernia. Hernia treatment in Mumbai at Kapadia Hospital begins with an examination by a hernia specialist in Mumbai, with an ultrasound or CT scan when needed to confirm the type and size of the hernia.
Diagnosis, anaesthesia, surgery and follow-up for hernia treatment in Goregaon West happen under one roof, so one team looks after you from the first visit to the last check-up.
Types of Hernia We Treat at Our Hospital in Goregaon West, Mumbai.
Hernias are named after where they form, and each type needs a slightly different repair. Kapadia Hospital treats all the common types:
The most common type. Tissue pushes through a weak spot in the groin. Far more common in men, but women can get it too.
Explore treatment 02Umbilical HerniaAppears at or around the belly button. Common in babies, where many close on their own, and in adults after pregnancy or weight gain.
Explore treatment 03Incisional HerniaDevelops through the scar of an earlier abdominal operation when the wall does not heal fully. Usually needs a mesh repair.
Explore treatment 04Epigastric HerniaForms in the upper abdomen, between the belly button and the breastbone. Usually small and often contains fatty tissue.
Explore treatment 05Femoral HerniaOccurs low in the groin. More common in women and more likely to get trapped, so early repair is usually advised.
Explore treatment 06Hiatus HerniaPart of the stomach slides up through the diaphragm into the chest, causing heartburn and reflux. Medicines first, surgery for large or persistent cases.

Hernia Operation in Mumbai: Laparoscopic, Open and TAR Repair.
Every hernia operation in Mumbai at Kapadia Hospital uses a mesh to strengthen the weak area. The three approaches differ in how the surgeon reaches the hernia:
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
The surgeon makes two or three small cuts, inserts a thin camera and repairs the weak area from inside with a mesh. It is done under general anaesthesia and usually means less pain, smaller scars and a faster return to routine. It suits most groin and umbilical hernias.
Open Hernia Repair
The surgeon makes one cut over the hernia, puts the tissue back in place and strengthens the wall with a mesh. Open repair can often be done under spinal or local anaesthesia, so it suits patients who are not fit for general anaesthesia and works well for large or complicated hernias.
TAR Surgery for Complex Hernias
Transversus abdominis release (TAR) is an advanced abdominal wall reconstruction for large, recurrent or complex ventral hernias. The surgeon releases a deep muscle layer on each side, closes the defect and places a wide mesh behind the muscles so the repair holds without tension.

Keyhole repair is our first choice for most patients who are fit for general anaesthesia:
Two or three keyhole cuts
Minimal, barely visible marks
Back to routine sooner
Comfortable healing

Quick answers on hernia surgery, cost, recovery, emergencies and insurance at Kapadia Hospital, Goregaon West.
In adults, surgery is the only permanent treatment for an abdominal wall hernia. Most hernias at Kapadia Hospital are repaired with laparoscopic (keyhole) or open mesh repair, and large or recurrent hernias may need TAR surgery. Your surgeon recommends the approach after examining you.
As a broad guide, open mesh repair of a single hernia costs about ₹40,000 to ₹1 lakh and laparoscopic repair about ₹80,000 to ₹2 lakh in Mumbai. TAR and complex repairs are quoted after evaluation. These figures are indicative only; the written estimate from Kapadia Hospital is final.
Neither is best for everyone. Laparoscopic repair uses small cuts and usually means less pain and a quicker return to routine. Open repair can be done under spinal or local anaesthesia and suits patients who cannot have general anaesthesia or have large hernias.
A hernia is an emergency when the bulge becomes hard, tender or cannot be pushed back, turns red or purple, or comes with sudden severe pain, vomiting, fever or an inability to pass gas or stool. These signs can mean strangulation. Call our 24x7 emergency line on +91 77770 45206 and come in immediately.
No. In adults, an abdominal wall hernia does not heal on its own. Small, painless hernias can sometimes be monitored, but most grow over time. Many umbilical hernias in babies close naturally, and hiatus hernias are often managed with medicines first.
Most patients who have laparoscopic repair go home the same day or the next day. Open repair, large hernias, TAR surgery and emergency operations may need one to three days. Your surgeon confirms the expected stay when planning your operation.
Most people return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, a little sooner after laparoscopic repair. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are avoided for about four to six weeks. You get a written recovery plan based on your repair and your work.
Yes, but it is uncommon. The risk is lower with a mesh repair and when you avoid heavy lifting during healing, manage cough or constipation and do not smoke. If a hernia does return, it can be repaired again, often with a different approach.
Most health insurance policies cover hernia surgery because it is medically necessary. Kapadia Hospital offers a 100% cashless facility with the insurers and TPAs on our TPA and insurance list, and our billing team helps with approvals and claims.
Hernia surgery at Kapadia Hospital is led by Dr. Rajan Modi, Medical Director and laparoscopic surgeon with more than 35 years of experience. He performs laparoscopic and open mesh repairs and has trained surgeons across India in laparoscopic TEP hernia repair.
