Hernia Surgery in Los Angeles

What is hernia surgery?
Inguinal hernia surgery is an operation to repair a hernia in the groin region. A hernia is tissue that has slipped through a weak spot in the organ in which it resides (in this case the abdominal wall), causing pain and discomfort.
If you’re a Los Angeles resident who experiences increased pain when you exert yourself, chronic constipation or blood in your stool, we at Soma Weight Loss can help you.
Surgery is the only way to repair a hernia and Dr. Naim has performed this procedure thousands of times. Our patients experience relief from their hernia symptoms post-surgery and are able to return to their normal activities.

How does hernia surgery work?
- Three to five tiny incisions are made in the abdomen
- A laparoscope is inserted through one of the incisions. This medical device is a thin fiber-optic tube with a camera at one end, allowing the surgeon to see inside your abdomen
- Harmless gas is pumped into your abdomen to inflate it and give the surgeon more room to work
- Tiny surgical tools are inserted through the other incisions and used to repair the hernia
- The tools are removed, and the incisions stitched up or closed with surgical tape
- An incision is made near the hernia
- Once located, the bulging tissue is removed or gently pushed back into the abdomen
- The weak spot in the abdominal wall is repaired with stitches and reinforced with mesh
- The incision is stitched closed with abdominal adhesive or dissolving sutures
After hernia surgery
- Follow the wound care instructions provided upon discharge, and ask your surgeon if and for how long you need to keep your incisions dry
- Drink plenty of fluids and eat high fiber foods to prevent constipation and the resulting straining. Speak to your doctor about a mild laxative if necessary
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting or physical activity that strains the abdomen, walking is fine
- Check with your surgeon before you get back behind the wheel. Driving may strain your incision
- Ease back into normal activities, for example, consider working a half-day when you return to work to see how you do
- Most importantly, listen to your body. Rest when you feel tired
