If you are travelling from another town, aim to arrive before 3 PM so there is time for tests on the same day.
Dr Raman Garg listens to your story first: how long the lump has been there, what makes it worse and what work you do. He then examines you standing and lying down, and may ask you to cough. He reviews your ultrasound or CT scan and tells you in plain words whether it is a hernia, which type, and whether you need surgery now or can watch for a while.
If surgery is advised, you get a clear plan: the method (usually laparoscopic keyhole repair through 3 small cuts, about 45 to 90 minutes, with skin glue and no stitch-removal visit), the tests needed, the mesh and the expected recovery. Most patients walk within hours and go home within 24 hours.
