Inguinal Hernia Repair
An inguinal hernia is a common type of hernia where fat or intestine push through an opening in the groin region. They can occur in both men and women but they are much more in men due to the natural anatomy of the groin. Inguinal hernias can cause a noticeable bulge in the groin are and can be uncomfortable or painful.
Mr Steven Karametos offers a range of minimally invasive surgical procedures for inguinal hernia repair which include laparoscopic and robotic approaches depending on the complexity of the hernia. He still offers open repairs in patients who cannot tolerate a general anaesthetic due to medical reasons.
Mr Steven Karametos repairs these with either partially absorbable, self-fixating mesh or totally absorbable mesh.
