Strangulated Hernia

A strangulated hernia occurs when the blood supply to the herniated tissue is compromised, creating a surgical emergency. Dr. Adarsh, a specialist in Bangalore, provides urgent surgical repair, assessing bowel viability and performing resection if necessary, followed by definitive hernia repair with or without mesh.
