My father had hernia repair here and the whole procedure went very smooth. The surgeon and all the staff was very friendly and offered the best service. My father was very well looked after. Really appreciate all the work they did...
The staff were amazing!!! Also the doctor and nurses were fantastic. I couldn't have wished for more caring individuals to look after me. They go the extra mile to try and put me at ease. I feel like I was getting first-class treatment during my stay there. Thanks to the highly qualified doctor and up to date surgical equipment, my surgery went well. Surgery cost is very affordable as well. :)
I love the surgeon and staff here. They are very attentive, caring, and professional. I have received nothing but 5 star treatment. The surgeon helped me feel relaxed about my surgery and the nurse makes me feel comfortable and feel ok. They even help me to get back home sooner. Cannot praise everyone enough. They were absolutely fantastic. Plus, the waiting time is short and the clinic is very clean.
Amazing doctors, amazing staff. The doctor and nurses were very caring. Answered all of my questions clearly and provided excellent service. They were all quick and efficient. The room I stayed in was very comfortable and the food was great. If you want to undergo medical treatment in Phuket, you should definitely choose Bangkok Hospital Phuket.
From the moment I walked in to the time I left, I was well looked after. The nurses were all lovely and helped me deal with the stress I had before my procedure. Thanks to them I felt comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, I really appreciate the hardwork. The doctor is very professional and quick. The departments are clean, tidy, and well maintained. Plus there is a coffee shop, as well as several shops. 👍
I understand why this hospital is considered the best in Thailand. Traveled all the way from Australia to get my treatment here after I heard good things about it. Superb staff, very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Many of the staff can speak English, so communication is not a problem. I asked many questions and told them my concerns, and they answered patiently and put me at ease. Had to stay for several days after my treatment. The room was super clean, well-designed, and definitely made me feel comfortable. The nurses checked on me every hour or so, and the food was surprisingly great. Though having to stay in a hospital is never a good experience, I would say my time in Bumrungrad was a pleasant one. A bit pricey when compared to other hospitals around the area, but with the quality service and high-level care offered, it was all worth it.

Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct a hernia – a condition when internal tissue or organ pushes through the muscle. It is typically performed when the hernia becomes strangulated, causes pain or discomfort, grows larger, or when the tissue becomes trapped in the abdominal wall.
Hernia repair can be performed either with open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Both are carried out under general anesthetic and involve returning the displaced organ or tissue to the body part that should contain it. Laparoscopic hernia repair surgery is preferred because it is minimally invasive and the recovery period is easier.
You may need to stay in the hospital for one to three days, but you must not fly home right after you are discharged from the hospital. Plan to stay in the Thailand for around 7 to 14 days or until you get your surgeon's approval because traveling long-distance can lead to tearing of the sutures. You will attend a follow-up appointment during your stay to monitor your condition.
It may take around 3 to 6 weeks for a full recovery after open hernia surgery. Expect to take two weeks off work after the surgery. If you have laparoscopic surgery, you should be able to return to work and your normal routine within a week.Â
Apply gentle pressure to your wound using your hand or a small pillow to make sneezing, coughing, and moving more comfortable. You can do some gentle exercises to help with the healing process, but avoid strenuous activities for around 4 to 6 weeks. Your surgeon will give you a set of instructions regarding your diet, caring for your wound, hygiene, and bathing. Make sure to follow all instructions.
Hernia repair is proven to be effective and safe. Only around 11% of patients suffer from a recurrence following the surgery. Also, only 10 % to 12% of patients will experience chronic pain after surgery. Although the risks and side effects are rare, you still need to be aware of them. They typically include infection, blood clots, pain, and recurrence.
If surgery is not an option for you, your alternative is to get non-surgical hernia treatments, such as wearing a corset, truss, or binder. They will keep the hernia in place and apply gentle pressure on it. Make sure to use them only under a doctor’s supervision.
A hernia can be painful, uncomfortable, or even life-threatening. After a hernia repair, you no longer feel pain, discomfort, or any other symptoms. Your risk of becoming seriously ill has been reduced significantly.
