Treatment serviceWhat is hernia repair?
A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or tissue — usually part of the intestine — through a weak point in the abdominal wall. Hernias do not heal with medication; the definitive treatment is surgical, returning the tissue and reinforcing the wall with a supportive mesh, either laparoscopically or through open surgery depending on the hernia type, size and the patient's condition. Dr. Dawoud Dawoud treats all hernia types in Amman after an assessment that selects the most suitable technique for each case.
Hernia types and their treatment
| Hernia type | Location and symptoms | Common treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Inguinal hernia | Lower abdomen near the groin; bulge grows with standing and coughing | Laparoscopic repair (TEP/TAPP) with mesh |
| Umbilical hernia | Around the navel; common after pregnancy and with weight gain | Surgical repair with mesh depending on size |
| Incisional hernia | At a previous operation site, along the scar | Laparoscopic or open repair with supportive mesh |
| Hiatal hernia | Part of the stomach slides into the chest; heartburn and reflux | Laparoscopic repair, often with fundoplication |
