Hernia surgery at Klinik Manhagen

Hernias are among the most common surgical conditions. They develop at a weak point in the abdominal wall and can cause symptoms such as pain or a feeling of pressure.

At Klinik Manhagen, we offer modern hernia surgery tailored to the individual, ranging from straightforward inguinal hernias to complex abdominal wall reconstruction.

We use gentle, minimally invasive procedures as well as proven open techniques to provide the most suitable treatment for each patient. Our aim is safe treatment, rapid recovery and lasting stability.

Lichtenstein repair (open mesh repair)
  • Open surgical procedure performed through a small incision in the groin
  • Direct access to the hernia without entering the abdominal cavity
  • Insertion of a fine synthetic mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall
  • Tension-free fixation of the mesh
  • Proven standard procedure with a high level of safety
  • Particularly suitable for certain findings or individual circumstances
  • Low recurrence rate and good long-term outcomes
MILOS technique (mini/less-open sublay)
  • Co-developed by Dr Berger
  • Mesh positioned outside the abdominal cavity
  • Low complication rate
  • Very good functional and cosmetic outcomes
