Yes. Saada Hospital performs hernia surgery in Sohar for inguinal (groin), umbilical, incisional and complex abdominal wall hernias, including advanced abdominal wall reconstruction. Most routine hernia repairs are done laparoscopically through a few small incisions, which usually means less pain and a faster return to normal activity than open surgery.
Laparoscopic surgery is performed through several small incisions using a camera and fine instruments, instead of one large cut. It is a well-established, safe technique used worldwide for gallbladder, hernia, bowel and bariatric operations, and it generally means less blood loss, less pain, a lower risk of wound infection and a shorter hospital stay. As with any operation there are risks, and your surgeon will explain those that apply to your case.
After keyhole gallbladder removal most patients go home the same day or the following day, and return to light work and normal daily activity within roughly one to two weeks. Recovery after a keyhole appendix removal is similar, with most people home within one to two days. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are usually avoided for a few weeks. If the operation has to be performed as open surgery, recovery takes longer.
No referral is needed — you can book directly with a general surgeon at Saada Hospital in Sohar. If you already have a referral letter, scan results or previous reports, bring them to your first visit, as they help the surgeon assess your condition faster.
