Incisional Hernia Treatment
An incisional hernia develops when an abdominal surgical scar weakens over time, allowing underlying internal tissues or intestines to protrude outwards. These hernias can become large and complex if neglected, causing chronic discomfort, digestive disturbances, and risk of bowel obstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Factors like wound infection, poor healing, diabetes, chronic cough, obesity, or excessive physical exertion after prior surgery can weaken the surgical scar line.
Yes. Laparoscopic IPOM (intraperitoneal onlay mesh) repair enables Dr. Jalpesh to place a large composite mesh behind the defect through tiny keyhole punctures, avoiding reopening old large scars.
Most patients stay 2 to 3 days in hospital for observation and resume normal sedentary activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with complete healing in 6 weeks.
Maintaining healthy body weight, avoiding chronic constipation or heavy lifting during recovery, and wearing a supportive abdominal binder as instructed are essential.
