Laparoscopic Vs Robot-Assisted Hernia Surgery in Navi Mumbai
In Navi Mumbai, we provide two advanced, minimally invasive options for hernia repair: Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery and Robot-Assisted Hernia Surgery.
Both techniques use small incisions and camera-guidance to repair of the hernia and ensure a faster return to daily life.
Laparoscopic Surgery: Uses traditional straight laparoscopic instruments.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Involves wristed robotic arms controlled by the surgeon, for superior maneuverability in tight spaces.

What is Robotic Hernia Surgery?
Robot Hernia Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced robotic technology to repair hernias & abdominal wall defects with greater precision & control.
The robotic surgeon operates from a high-tech console, controlling robotic arms that possess 360-degree wrist dexterity, far exceeding the range of the human hand.
Combined with a high-definition 3D camera, this technology allows Dr. Nitish to perform complex hernia repairs with microscopic accuracy.
What Are the Benefits of Robotic Surgery for Hernia Surgery in Navi Mumbai?
Choosing a robotic approach for hernia surgery at Apollo Hospital, Navi Mumbai offers significant clinical advantages over traditional open surgery.
Here are the key benefits-
Enhanced range of motion & Precision:
3D Visualization:
The 3D high-definition camera provides a magnified view of the surgical site, allowing the surgeon to see detailed structures more clearly, which is particularly useful for difficult or recurring hernias.
Robotic arms have 360-degree
Dexterity and eliminate even the slightest hand tremors, ensuring the mesh is placed with perfect tension.
Less Pain and Discomfort:
Robotic surgery uses smaller incisions, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues. This leads to reduced post-operative pain and discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.
Faster Recovery & Return to Work:
Robotic surgery in Navi Mumbai, offers patients a minimally invasive approach that leads to quicker recovery, less pain and faster return to work than traditional open surgery.

How is Robot-Assisted Hernia Operation Done in Navi Mumbai?
Dr. Nitish Jhawar performs Robotic – assisted hernia surgery at Apollo Hospital Belapur in Navi Mumbai using the advanced da Vinci Surgical system.
He directs the robotic instruments, which mimic his hand movements with micro-precision, ensuring best outcome.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how the procedure is done:
Pre-Surgical Assessment:
Before surgery, the patient undergoes physical exams, imaging tests, and a medical history review to determine whether robotic hernia repair is suitable.
Anaesthesia:
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
Small Incisions:
The surgeon makes a few small incisions, typically less than an inch in size, in the abdomen near the hernia site. These are significantly smaller than those required for traditional open surgery.
The da Vinci® Robotic Interface
The surgeon inserts specialized robotic instruments and a high-definition 3D camera through these small incisions. This provide magnified view of the hernia & surgical area.
Hernia Repair & 3-D Mesh Placement
Robotic surgeon, Dr Jhawar, seated at a console, controls the robotic arms to push the herniated tissue back into place carefully. A lightweight, biocompatible surgical 3D mesh is placed to reinforce the weakened area and prevent the hernia from recurring.
Closing the Incisions:
Once the hernia is repaired, the small incisions are closed with stitches or surgical glue, resulting in minimal scarring.
Robotic hernia surgery in Navi Mumbai offers patients a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive approach that leads to quicker recovery.
