Needing a hernia operation can be a daunting prospect. But by employing the right doctor, the procedure can be seamless and you can feel at ease knowing you have the right medical support. Dr Mittal is a qualified hernia surgeon, with extensive experience in this type of surgery with patients across the lower North Shore of Sydney, Ryde, Macquarie and surrounding suburbs.

​

A hernia is a bulge that forms when the organs of the abdominal cavity push out through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Normally, the muscles of your abdominal wall are strong and tight enough to keep the internal organs in place; but congenital defects, muscle weakness or previous abdominal surgery may result in a hernia.

​

Dr Mittal offers both robotic and laparoscopic repair of different types of abdominal hernias.  These include inguinal (groin) hernias, femoral hernias, umbilical hernias and incisional hernias.  Dr. Mittal can perform repairs of complex incisional hernias with the use of the robot - minimising risk of infection, serums and reducing pain. Dr. Mittal also performed the first robotic repair of a lumbar hernia in Australia - video below.
