Our Hernia Surgery Options
At GMS Cyprus, we specialize in hernia surgery, providing high-quality care tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Here’s why you should choose us for your hernia treatment:
Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery
This is a revolutionary weight loss surgery that does not involve removing any part of the stomach. Instead, it uses sutures to create a smaller stomach sleeve, reducing its capacity. This method preserves the stomach’s natural nutrient absorption, making it an excellent alternative to other gastric surgeries.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Known simply as the Gastric Sleeve, this procedure involves removing about 75% of the stomach to create a smaller “sleeve”-shaped pouch, approximately the size of a banana. Unlike some surgeries, it does not bypass the intestines or require implants.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (RNY) Surgery
Often called the “gold standard” in bariatric surgery, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is a comprehensive approach combining restriction and malabsorption to aid in weight loss. It reduces the stomach size and reroutes food directly to the small intestine, bypassing part of the digestive system.
Laparoscopic Duodenal Switch Surgery
The Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) combines elements of the gastric sleeve and bypass for both restriction and malabsorption. It is a highly complex yet effective procedure, often resulting in patients losing 75-80% of excess weight.
Gastric Band Surgery (Gastric Ring)
Gastric band surgery involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping patients feel full with smaller portions. It is a minimally invasive procedure with adjustable settings, allowing the surgeon to tighten or loosen the band as needed. It typically results in gradual and steady weight loss over time.
Hernia Surgery
In some cases, individuals with obesity may suffer from hernias, which can complicate weight loss efforts. Bariatric hernia surgery is performed to repair the hernia and restore the abdominal wall’s integrity. This surgery is important for patients undergoing weight loss surgery, as it helps to ensure a stable and comfortable recovery.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Surgery
GERD surgery is often needed for individuals who experience chronic acid reflux, which can worsen with obesity. This procedure aims to correct the underlying issues causing reflux by tightening the lower esophageal sphincter, reducing the amount of stomach acid that can flow back into the esophagus. It is commonly performed in combination with bariatric weight loss surgery for patients suffering from both conditions.
Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)
Gallbladder removal, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common procedure for patients who experience gallstones or other gallbladder-related complications. Obesity increases the risk of gallstones, and many bariatric surgery patients may require this procedure to prevent further complications. The surgery is performed laparoscopically, ensuring a quick recovery with minimal scarring.
Bariatric Revision Surgery
Bariatric revision surgery is offered to patients who have previously undergone weight loss surgery but have not achieved the desired results or have experienced complications. Revision procedures may include adjusting the existing surgery, such as tightening a gastric band, converting to a gastric bypass, or other modifications to address issues like weight regain or surgical failure. Our surgeons assess each case individually to determine the most appropriate revision surgery.
Understanding Hernia Surgery at GMS Cyprus
Hernia surgery is performed to correct the condition where a part of an organ or tissue pushes through the muscle wall or other tissue that contains it. There are several types of hernias, and surgery is necessary to prevent complications such as strangulation or obstruction. The surgery may involve either a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure or a more traditional open surgery, depending on the hernia type and severity.

FAQ About Hernia Surgery
We offer laparoscopic hernia surgery, open hernia repair, and robotic-assisted hernia surgery, each tailored to the patient’s condition and needs.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, with full recovery taking 2-4 weeks for laparoscopic surgery and longer for open surgery.
Most patients experience some pain and discomfort after surgery, but this can be managed with pain medications. The pain typically decreases significantly as healing progresses.
While hernia surgery is highly effective, there is a small risk of recurrence. Following the surgeon’s post-surgery care instructions and avoiding heavy lifting or strain can help prevent recurrence.
Hernia surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will either use laparoscopic techniques or make an open incision to repair the hernia, depending on its type and size.

Testimonials
After a consultation with Dr. Amir, I was surprised to learn that my health insurance does not guarantee that he will be the surgeon to perform the procedure.
That is when I contacted GMS, who explained how I could have the surgery performed by the physician of my choice - which gave me peace of mind.
It is very important for me to share my experience as the service I received through GMS exceeded any similar experience in Israel:
From the beginning I was assigned a GMS representative from Israel, who explained in detail what my experience would be and answered all my questions about the operation and the treatment process. (Thanks, Roy!)
All I had to do was fill out the application form.
GMS representatives took care of everything themselves!
They contacted the insurance company on my behalf and even had them check the status of the application until the financial commitment for the surgery was received.
We agreed with on the surgical date, booked the flights at a convenient time for me and also dealt with the hotel reservation. The GMS staff even reviewed the menu and took any dietary restrictions into consideration on my behalf.
We were picked up from the airport in Larnaca, Cyprus where we met the wonderful Oria, who accompanied us throughout the entire visit and took care of every detail; from registration to preparation for the operation.
This is essentially a VIP service that made the entire experience relaxed and stress free. The assigned coordinators continued caring after my return to Israel. They were interested in my recuperation post operatively and also ensured all financial matters were dealt with; all this, by the way, without any commissions or payouts on my part, but directly with my insurance. In a word - an amazing experience! In short - I recommend it!
Thank to GMS, thank you Roy, thank you Uriah and thank you Dr. Oron.
I needed a unique procedure which is not performed in Israel and I turned to them.
Over a telephone conversation with GMS representative Roy, I felt caring attention and confidence that he would help in everything. He accompanied us throughout the entire process, before the flight and even after.
In addition to Roy, we would like to sincerely thank Oriya, our allocated Israeli speaking patient coordinator of the company in Cyprus.
Even before our departure, Oriya was in touch with us helping with any issues and made sure that we arrived fully prepared - taking into account the smallest details; even to the point of finding out our food preferences, and despite the late hour of our arrival at the hotel, she ensured an exquisite meal was waiting for us in the room. Oriya greeted us upon arrival and truly made us feel like we were her personal guests. She accompanied us throughout the entire day of the operation - attentively, with endless care and continued patience.
I felt like I had a good friend with me in the hospital. This kind of treatment doesn’t happen very often... At the end of the day we parted, hugging each other, and Oriya gave recommendations on where to go and what to do in the time remaining before returning home.
I just don't have enough words to thank GMS and Oriya for everything. I can only recommend with a reassurance that those who need it should use their services.
Roy – thank you for your patience, quick responses (minutes!), availability, caring and clear explanations! You are inimitable! Oriya - you are amazing! Thank you for every smile, hug, help, guidance, explanation... really! You are simply amazing!
Every time I was asked by friends and family about the surgery, I immediately started talking about your amazing service! I felt warmth and love, and everyone who was with me felt the same! We never stop talking about you, and really, only good things!
You have entered our hearts! Thank you very much for everything! I hope to see you in the future, under different circumstances.
