Hernia Treatment at King’s College Hospital London in Dubai
Hernias occur when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. They may appear as a bulge in the abdomen or groin and can cause pain or discomfort when lifting, coughing or standing for long periods. At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, our surgeons have extensive experience managing all types of hernias, using both open and laparoscopic techniques to provide safe and effective treatment.
What does hernia treatment involve?
Your treatment plan depends on the type and severity of the hernia. Some hernias remain stable for a long time, while others become painful or require urgent care. Many patients are suitable for keyhole (laparoscopic) hernia repair, where the surgeon works through a few small cuts using a camera and fine instruments to reinforce the abdominal wall. In some cases, especially with large or complex hernias, an open repair is a safer and more effective option.
Your care step by step
- Discussion of your symptoms and medical history
- Physical examination of the abdomen
- Ultrasound or other imaging if needed
- Laparoscopic or open hernia repair
- Recovery advice and follow-up visits
When should you see us?
You should seek medical attention if you notice a new bulge in the abdomen or groin, pain when lifting or straining, or discomfort that gets worse with activity. Sudden severe pain, fever, vomiting, or an inability to pass gas could suggest a trapped hernia and needs urgent evaluation.
