Hernia surgery involves the diagnosis and treatment of hernias, where organs or tissues protrude through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. These conditions can cause pain, discomfort, and in severe cases, complications such as incarceration, which can be life-threatening.
Through our close collaboration with the Hernia Center Switzerland, one of the certified competence centers for hernia surgery, we ensure optimal care for hernias. This partnership allows us to work at the forefront of research and technology, providing our patients with the highest standards in hernia surgery. While hernia operations are common procedures, they still require individualized care and an experienced surgeon.
Comprehensive Aftercare
Our team utilizes both minimally invasive and traditional surgical techniques to repair hernias permanently and minimize the risk of recurrence. The focus is on gentle treatment to accelerate the healing process and help patients quickly return to their daily lives. After surgery, we ensure that our patients receive comprehensive aftercare to support healing and minimize the risk of complications. Our team also advises on preventive measures, such as adjusting physical activities, to reduce the risk of a recurrence.
Range of Services in Hernia Surgery:
- Inguinal Hernia
Inguinal hernias are among the most common hernias and require surgical repair to prevent the protrusion of bowel parts through the abdominal wall. At Seechirurgie, we offer both open and minimally invasive procedures to allow for a quick recovery. - Umbilical Hernia
The navel is a natural weak point in the abdominal wall, making it a common site for hernias, particularly during pregnancy or with excessive weight gain. - Incisional Hernia
Incisional hernias occur after previous surgeries on the abdominal wall. Our specialized surgeons repair these hernias using mesh material that stabilizes the abdominal wall and prevents recurrence. - Hiatal Hernia
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach slips through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. We offer laparoscopic procedures to gently repair this hernia and alleviate symptoms such as heartburn. - Femoral Hernia
A femoral hernia occurs more frequently in women and requires surgical repair, as the risk of incarceration with this type of hernia is very high. - Parastomal Hernia
This specific type of hernia occurs around a stoma. Our team offers tailored surgical solutions to stabilize the abdominal wall and reduce the risk of complications. - Rectus Diastasis
Rectus diastasis is the separation of the abdominal muscles, which can lead to functional and aesthetic issues. We offer surgical procedures to restore stability and function to the abdominal wall. - Spigelian Hernia
A rare form of abdominal wall hernia that occurs along the side of the abdominal muscles. Our specialized surgeons repair these hernias with individualized procedures. - Sports Hernia
A sports hernia is a groin condition that often occurs in physically active individuals. We offer minimally invasive procedures to treat groin pain and help patients quickly return to their athletic activities. - Chronic Groin Pain
Chronic groin pain can occur after surgery or due to other causes. Our team conducts interdisciplinary evaluations to identify and relieve the source of the pain.
