Hernioplasty in Chennai

Hi, I’m Dr. V Preethi a General and Laparoscopic Surgeon based at Hayagriva Hospital in Chennai. If you’re experiencing the discomfort, uncertainty, or daily limitations that come with a hernia, please know you’re not alone and more importantly, you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself. I understand how disruptive even a seemingly “simple” health issue can become when it starts affecting your routine, your peace of mind, or your ability to move without pain. That’s where I come in to help you feel informed, supported, and confident about what comes next.

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’ve been quietly living with a hernia for months or even years, I want you to know that safe, effective treatment is within reach. My approach goes beyond simply repairing the hernia it’s about restoring your confidence, reducing your fears, and guiding you toward lasting wellness. With every consultation, every procedure, and every follow-up, my goal is to make you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported. You're not just a case you're a person, and your care matters deeply to me.

What Is a Hernia And Why Does It Matter?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue slips through a weakened area in the surrounding muscle wall, creating a noticeable bulge or discomfort. It can look like a bulge in the abdomen or groin and often becomes more noticeable when you're lifting something heavy or straining.

There are several types like inguinal, umbilical, or incisional and while some may seem harmless at first, they usually get worse without proper care. Hernias don’t fix themselves, but the good news? They can be safely and effectively treated through hernioplasty.

• Occurs due to weakened muscle or tissue
• Common around the belly button or groin
• It can lead to aching, pressure, or a noticeable lump in the affected area.
• Doesn’t heal naturally needs surgical attention
• Safely treated with proven surgical techniques

Know the Signs: Common Hernia Symptoms

It’s easy to brush off the early signs of a hernia — a small bulge, occasional discomfort, or a mild strain that comes and goes. But your body often speaks in whispers before it starts to shout. A persistent heaviness in your abdomen, pain after lifting, or a tugging sensation when you move could all be signals that something’s off. Paying attention to these early signs not only helps you avoid complications but also gives you the chance to seek care when treatment is simpler and recovery is smoother.

As hernias progress, mild discomfort can turn into sharper pain, swelling, or digestive issues. If not addressed in time, hernias can cause serious issues such as blocked intestines or reduced blood flow to the affected tissue. Early diagnosis makes all the difference in outcome and peace of mind.

Don’t wait until it hurts to act — your health deserves attention now.

When Is Hernia Surgery the Right Choice?

Not all hernias require immediate surgery — and sometimes, careful monitoring is enough. But if your hernia is growing, causing pain, or starting to interfere with your everyday activities, hernioplasty is often the safest and most effective next step. I’ll help you make that decision with confidence, taking into account your overall health, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Every recommendation I make is based on what’s right for you, not just the textbook.

Laparoscopic hernioplasty is a minimally invasive approach that allows for smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, and a faster return to your normal routine. Choosing early treatment doesn’t just relieve discomfort it protects you from future complications and ensures you get back to living life fully and freely.

• Hernia increasing in size or frequency
• Interfering with your daily routine or comfort
• Signs of complications like pain or vomiting
• Risk of tissue strangulation or obstruction
• Best resolved before it becomes an emergency

My Approach to Hernia Treatment

I believe no two patients are the same — and neither are their hernias. That’s why my approach always begins with listening. In our first consultation, I take the time to understand not just your symptoms, but also your lifestyle, concerns, and goals. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every treatment recommendation is shaped by what matters most to you — whether that’s minimizing downtime, managing existing conditions, or simply feeling heard and reassured in your care journey.

If surgery is the right course of action, I prioritize laparoscopic techniques whenever possible. These minimally invasive procedures offer smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker return to your routine — without compromising on safety or outcomes. Throughout your experience, I’ll ensure you’re fully informed, prepared, and supported at every step. My goal is not just to treat your hernia — but to guide you through healing with confidence, dignity, and compassion.

• One-on-one consultation to understand your needs
• Clear explanation of diagnosis and options
• Minimally invasive hernioplasty as first choice
• Focus on both outcome and experience
• Full recovery guidance after surgery
