Hernia assessment and treatment by experienced consultant surgeons

The Hernia Centre in Worcester, Droitwich and Malvern, offers full diagnosis and investigation of abdominal masses to exclude serious conditions. Our consultants are broadly trained in all aspects of abdominal surgery and are therefore able to manage other conditions that mimic hernias.

There are two ways to surgically repair a hernia:

Laparascopic (key hole). Two or three cuts will be made to your abdomen, through which a tube-like camera will be passed to enable your surgeon to view the hernia. Special surgical instruments are then used to repair the hernia and a synthetic mesh is used to strengthen the abdominal wall. There are advantages to this type of surgery these include: quicker procedure; can sometimes be done as a day-case procedure; less pain following surgery; smaller scars.
Open surgery. A single incision of around 5-10cm is made in the groin and th bulge is pushed back into place. A mesh is used to support the area. Ths skin is then closed using dissolvable stitches.
