Frequently Asked Questions

Hernia surgery through the laparoscopy procedure is minimally invasive and utilises tiny incisions with the help of a camera inserted into the body. Dr. Ismail Khan, Consultant, Minimal Access, Bariatric & Robotic Surgery at Yashoda Medicity, performs this surgery, allowing quick healing as the incisions are much smaller than in traditional open surgery. This results in less pain and internal scarring, leading to faster recovery and enabling patients to resume their routine activities within a few days.

Dr. Ismail Khan performs various types of hernia surgeries at Yashoda Medicity, including inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias. Inguinal hernias occur in the groin area, while umbilical hernias develop around the belly button. Incisional hernias commonly develop due to previous surgical incisions. Advanced laparoscopic techniques such as TEP and TAPP are used for effective repair.

Robotic surgery uses advanced systems like Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System to provide surgeons with 3D high-definition views and greater instrument flexibility. At Yashoda Medicity, Dr. Ismail Khan uses robotic precision to manage complex hernias that are difficult to reach with standard tools. This increased accuracy helps protect surrounding nerves and blood vessels, significantly reducing the risk of complications. For patients, this means a safer procedure, less postoperative discomfort, and better long-term outcomes, even for complex repairs.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder using small abdominal incisions and a laparoscope. It is indicated for patients with pain, inflammation, or digestive problems due to gallbladder stones. This is a simple procedure carried out with precision at Yashoda Medicity by Dr. Ismail Khan. With the removal of the gallbladder, there is no risk of further gallstones or infections. Patients usually recover within one day.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a bariatric surgery that involves reducing the stomach to a tubular pouch. This limits food intake and reduces ghrelin production. This procedure is performed by Dr. Ismail Khan to help obese patients achieve significant weight loss. It also helps improve conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Gastric bypass surgery is recommended for patients with very high BMI or severe obesity-related conditions, including uncontrolled diabetes or acid reflux. In this surgery, the digestive route is altered to reduce calorie absorption. Dr. Ismail Khan at Yashoda Medicity evaluates each case to determine whether this surgery will benefit the patient’s condition. It is one of the most effective weight-loss surgeries.

In cases of recurrent hernias, where the condition returns after previous surgical intervention, Yashoda Medicity uses advanced surgical techniques with prosthetic or biologic mesh. In such conditions, the mesh serves as a scaffold for the weakened area. Proper placement ensures complete coverage of the defect, reducing the risk of recurrence and improving surgical outcomes.

Robotic and minimally invasive surgeries use small incisions and precise movements, causing less trauma to the body. At Yashoda Medicity, these techniques lead to significantly less postoperative pain and a reduced need for strong pain medication. Because the body heals faster from smaller wounds, hospital stays are often reduced to 1–2 days. Patients benefit from a lower risk of infection and a quicker return to normal family and professional life.

Patients should consult a surgeon if they experience persistent abdominal swelling, a visible bulge, or severe acid reflux that does not improve with medication. These symptoms could indicate a hernia or gallbladder disease. Dr. Ismail Khan at Yashoda Medicity provides expert evaluation for these conditions. Early consultation is important to prevent complications such as bowel obstruction or severe infections.
