About Hernia Care 360

Hernia Care 360, founded and led by senior consultant surgeon Dr. Kumar, is a dedicated clinical initiative designed to deliver state-of-the-art, comprehensive abdominal wall care. Operating out of the advanced infrastructure of Billroth Hospitals in Chennai, the center provides world-class treatment pathways for simple, complex, and recurrent hernias.

Our core philosophy is centered on customization and absolute surgical precision. Rather than employing a single generic repair technique for all defects, Hernia Care 360 utilizes a personalized methodology. We analyze each patient's abdominal wall mechanics, lifestyle, and past surgical history to select the ideal repair—ranging from meshless tissue-based procedures (Desarda & Shouldice) to advanced robotic-assisted eTEP and TAR reconstructions.

Backed by Billroth Hospital's high-dependency critical care support, round-the-clock emergency surgical rooms, and the latest imaging technologies, Hernia Care 360 ensures a safe, infection-free, and comfortable pathway to core restoration and long-term recurrence prevention.
