Hi, My mom has Hernia since around 30 years. Her age is 56. She is having a continuous stomach pain for past 10 to 12 days and restlessness. Doctor has examined her n telling that this pain is because of hernia. The naval has buldged out and the Color of naval skin is  also changed. She felt the pain while doctor tried to push it inside. Now doctor is suggesting laproscopic surgery for this as it can cause obstruction any time. I would like to know if is it fine to go with the surgery and if yes, who is the best surgeon for this and what would be the approximate cost for the procedure. Currently I am consulting with Dr. Aritra Ghosh in Manipal Whitefield Hospital. Thanks & Regards, Dimple
