Does laparoscopic hernia surgery with Yashaswini need prior booking?

Hello,

Yes, laparoscopic hernia surgery under the Yashaswini Health Scheme generally requires prior consultation and hospital approval. The exact process may vary slightly depending on the empanelled hospital, but in most cases, you cannot directly undergo surgery without completing the required admission and authorization process.

How the Process Usually Works

1. Consult a General Surgeon at a Yashaswini-empanelled hospital.

2. The surgeon will evaluate your condition and confirm whether surgery is required.

3. The hospital will verify your Yashaswini Card and submit the necessary authorization request as per the scheme guidelines.

4. Once the approval is received (if applicable), the hospital will schedule your surgery.

It is advisable to contact the hospital beforehand to understand their registration and admission process.

Common Symptoms of a Hernia

• A bulge in the groin, abdomen, or near the belly button

• Pain or discomfort while coughing, bending, or lifting heavy objects

• A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected area

• Swelling that may reduce when lying down

When Should You Seek Immediate Medical Attention?

Please consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Sudden severe pain in the hernia

• The bulge becomes red, purple, or black

• Nausea, vomiting, or fever

• Inability to pass stools or gas

These symptoms may indicate a strangulated or obstructed hernia, which requires emergency treatment.
