Hernia Surgery - Laparoscopic Mesh Repair Surgery at Affordable Cost

An International female patient aged around 26 years of age presented with paraumbilical hernia with a defect measuring 2 cms. The swelling was first noticed a year back, and 3 months post her delivery. The swelling was prominently visible on coughing, and was reducible.

The doctors at her home country had advised a ‘laparoscopic mesh repair’. Since the cost of the surgery was beyond her insurance coverage, she had to look for alternatives outside her country. The cost we quoted to her for the surgery at our hospital in India was affordable to her, and she found that it was within her insurance coverage.

She flew down to India and underwent surgery at our hospital. She was in India for 7 days.  On her arrival at India, she visited the hospital and had a consultation with the treating doctor. She was posted for surgery after two days; in accordance with her request to get herself accommodated outside the hospital. She was admitted to the hospital a day before the surgery. She underwent a ‘laparoscopic mesh repair’ for ‘paraumbilical hernia’. She was back to the ward on the same day and was doing well.

She was advised stay in the hospital for two days since she reported mild pain in her abdomen.

The surgery was a success and she was back in her country 3 days post the operation.
