Overview
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscles. Hernia surgery is a standard procedure that repairs a weakness in the abdominal wall. It is performed to repair this defect and prevent complications like strangulation. Our expert surgeons usually perform laparoscopic or open hernia surgery in south Kolkata, depending on the severity and type of hernia.
