A View by Dr. Shivanshu Mishra: Hernia Becomes a True Day-Care Surgery

While for many, the thought of a hernia operation evokes long hospital stays, prolonged recovery, and visible scarring, Dr. Misra is helping people understand that modern hernia repair can be a true day-care procedure. Under his approach, patients literally walk in for surgery and go home that day — often back to normal life far sooner than they had ever imagined.

According to Dr. Misra, laparoscopic surgery has brought a revolutionary shift in patient comfort and outcomes. The procedure is done through tiny incisions, a camera-guided technique, and advanced mesh applications that greatly reduce the trauma of conventional open surgery. The benefits are clear: faster recovery, minimal blood loss, minimal pain, and remarkably better cosmetic results. Most importantly, patients can return to their routine and work far more quickly, restoring confidence and mobility without disruption.

However, Dr. Misra's contribution goes beyond mere surgical expertise. By ensuring that laparoscopic hernia surgery is available under cashless facilities, he has made advanced care financially accessible for almost every segment of society. The treatment is now covered across all major health insurance policies, CGHS, and even the Ayushman Bharat scheme, allowing economically weaker patients to access world-class surgery without fear of financial strain.

As the number of hernia cases increases across the country, safety, dependability, and affordability have never been in greater demand. Dr. Shivanshu Misra contributes to raising the bar for surgical standards, but equally to reformulating what is possible in hernia treatment for the public imagination: quick, painless, modern, and accessible to all. With surgeons like him leading the way, India is witnessing a new era where care for hernias is no longer a burden but a seamless medical experience designed around the comfort and dignity of the patient.
