Hernia Treatment at HOD
House of Doctors offers comprehensive hernia treatment from presurgical to post-surgical care. We’re empanelled with Mumbai’s and Indore’s leading laparoscopic surgeons which treat your hernia using most advanced methods.

Majority females completely heal from laparoscopic surgery quickly—in just two weeks—and are able to resume their normal routine with no lingering pain.
Laparoscopic surgery at HOD is a minimally invasive technique which involves the use of a laparoscope. Our laparoscopic surgeon repairs the weakened area by making several small incisions of 0.5 cm. A non-absorbable mesh is then used to cover the weakened area.
