The essentials

An inguinal hernia is a bulge of abdominal contents through a weak spot in the abdominal wall in the groin. It shows up as a swelling, a feeling of heaviness and pain on exertion. A hernia does not go away on its own, and if it becomes strangulated, emergency surgery is needed.

Treatment of inguinal hernia in Israel means surgery: open or laparoscopic, through small incisions, usually with a mesh implant to strengthen the abdominal wall. The surgeon chooses the approach based on the type and size of the hernia and your general health. We help you get a surgeon's opinion before you travel, compare clinic programs and arrange treatment.

  • Short hospital stayUnder the clinic's program, you spend 1 day in hospital.

Why is it better to go to Israel for inguinal hernia treatment?

According to the WHO, the disease accounts for 80% of all types of hernias. Its occurrence is more prone to men – they are diagnosed 10 times more often than women. Pathology can be acquired and congenital, leading to impingement – compression of the hernial contents.

In the absence of treatment, impingement can cause a violation of lymph flow, blood circulation, intestinal obstruction. In 35% of cases of interventions are associated with these manifestations. 

In the most complicated cases, tissue necrosis can develop, which often ends in death. It is important to timely receive quality treatment of inguinal hernia in Israel from qualified specialists.

What methods in Israel carry out diagnosis?

inguinal hernia diagnosis in IsraelIsraeli surgeons visually diagnose pathology during physical examination. To confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of intervention at the Beilinson Medical Center in Tel Aviv, the patient is assigned a small number of studies:

  • Ultrasound of abdominal organs and inguinal canals;
  • herniography – scanning with X-rays with contrast;
  • CT scan – gives detailed pictures of internal organs;
  • electrocardiogram;
  • laboratory tests of blood and urine.

Diagnosis of inguinal hernia in Israel is performed within 2-3 days, after which the doctor’s consilium decides on the tactics of treatment. 

What operations for inguinal hernia are performed in Israel?

inguinal hernia surgery in IsraelSurgeons in Israel predominantly perform gentle operations on inguinal hernia. Open intervention – herniorrhaphy, used in exceptional cases. It is resorted to if, according to the diagnosis results, the patient needs a complex operation to eliminate several pathologies. 

The main methods of inguinal hernia surgery in the Assuta Clinic in Israel include:

  1. Laparoscopic surgery – a minimally invasive procedure that is performed using a laparoscope. This is a special device with a miniature video camera at the end, displaying the monitor’s operating field. The intervention takes place through several punctures. The surgeon extracts the pinched part, freeing it from compression, and fixes it in the right place in the abdominal cavity. 
  2. Robotic intervention. It takes place using a da Vinci robotic surgeon, which is controlled by a doctor. Manipulations are performed through 1 puncture in the area of the navel. The advantages include high accuracy and good cosmetic effect.

Surgical treatment of inguinal hernia in Israel is carried out under general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. As a rule, patients stay in the hospital overnight, their condition is monitored by medical staff. Medics recommend staying in the country for at least a week for regular checkups with the doctor.

In the end, the doctor covers the mesh with fibro-cremaster material. It will stay in the abdomen permanently and prevent the disease from recurring.

The Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv uses a mesh implant that is biocompatible with human tissue. This minimizes the risk of unwanted postoperative complications and infection. Patients who underwent inguinal hernia treatment in Israel by hernioplasty, in reviews write that the next day after the procedure, the pain was no longer felt, and after 6-7 days they were already leading a normal lifestyle.

Diagnosis: inguinal hernia

I had a fairly simple operation at Suraski – an inguinal hernia. My daughter lives in Tel Aviv, so I chose this clinic. I took a cab from my daughter from the center, to Suraski for 30 shekels. Everything went very quickly: on May 21 I arrived, on May 23 I was operated on, and on May 24 I was discharged. I have not had any problems so far. The Suraski Clinic is very beautiful and modern – more like a hotel than a hospital.

Diagnosis: inguinal hernia

The appearance of a bulge and pain in my groin area caused me to contact Dr. Avi Bary. He had already successfully removed a prostate tumor from me in the past. This time the operation was performed for an inguinal hernia by laparoscopy, which avoided large incisions.

Diagnosis: inguinal hernia

After going to the gym, I had a bulge in my groin area that disappeared when I pressed it lightly. I found out online that it could be a symptom of inguinal hernia. I went to Sheba Hospital, where my father was previously treated. After laparoscopy I can confidently say that I am healthy.

Diagnosis: inguinal hernia

I noticed a small lump in my groin on the right side, about the size of a walnut. Fearing the development of a tumor, I immediately went to the Israeli hospital Ihilov. The doctor diagnosed an inguinal hernia and recommended surgery because of the threat of impingement. The procedure was quick and almost painless.

Diagnosis: inguinal hernia

I found a lump on the left side of my groin, which disappeared after a few days. After repeated appearances and disappearances, I went to the Israeli clinic Assuta. The doctor diagnosed an inguinal hernia, which occurred after physical exertion. Laparoscopic surgery was performed the next day after the examination, and three weeks later I was already feeling much better.


Frequently asked questions

Can an inguinal hernia be treated without surgery?
No. An inguinal hernia does not go away on its own, and a truss only holds it in place temporarily. The only way to repair a hernia is surgery. Planned surgery is safer than emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia.
How long is the trip for surgery?
Under the clinic's program, the hospital stay is 1 day and the stay in Israel is about 6 days: examination, surgery, discharge and a follow-up check-up.
Which is better: open or laparoscopic surgery?
Both approaches are widely used. The choice depends on the type and size of the hernia, whether it is recurrent and whether you have other health conditions. The surgeon makes the decision after examination.
When can I return to physical activity?
Walking is usually allowed soon after surgery. When you can return to sports and heavy lifting is decided individually by the surgeon, who gives you recommendations at discharge.
How much does treatment of inguinal hernia in Israel cost?
The price depends on the type of surgery, the type of hernia and the clinic. After reviewing your documents, we request programs from several clinics so you can compare prices. Experts Medical services are free for patients.
