Dr Hanh Tran

Director of the Sydney Hernia Specialists/Clinic

Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon

President of the Australasian Hernia Society

Dr Tran is a highly accomplished hernia surgeon specialising in key hole repair of different types of hernias including the groin, abdominal and belly button. He is the President of the Australasian Hernia Society and is a regular invited speaker to the annual congresses of the American, European and Asia Pacific Hernia Societies. He is committed to education and the advancement of hernia repair and he runs regular workshops to teach other qualified surgeons the benefits of key hole surgery.

Dr Tran has performed over 2000 key hole hernia repairs. Since 2009, virtually all hernia repairs are performed with single incision laparoscopic surgery. This has been shown to be safe and effective in addition to producing almost invisible scars. The routine use of the single incision laparoscopic surgery is consistent with the research and educational philosophy at our hernia clinic which nurtures the quest for innovative ways to improve patient care. His extensive and outstanding clinical and experimental research has been presented at over 80 National and International meetings as well as numerous publications in refereed journals including the Journal of Immunology and the Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. He is a reviewer for submitted articles for publication in numerous peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Gastrointestinal and Digestive System and Frontiers in Medicine. He is a pioneer in hernia repair and has achieved many world and Australian firsts including:

  1. He is the first surgeon in the world to perform robotic Freehand® single incision laparoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair using standard dissecting instruments.
  2. He is the first surgeon in the world to perform robotic Freehand® single incision laparoscopic ventral incisional hernia repair using standard dissecting instruments.
  3. He was the first in the world to perform single incision laparoscopic parastomal hernia repair with modified Sugarbaker technique using standard instruments;
  4. He was the first surgeon in Australia to successfully perform laparoscopic parastomal hernia repair using the modified Sugarbaker technique;
  5. He was the first in the world to routinely repair hernia of the of belly button using a tiny incision where a special mesh is placed behind the muscles but outside of the abdominal cavity. He has shown this repair to be highly successful and virtually abolished complications such as adhesions. Patients can usually return to full physical activities after one week compared to a month for other conventional repairs;
  6. He was the first to describe the key hole treatment of multiply recurrent groin hernias after conventional open and key hole repair by placing a non-sticky mesh inside the abdomen;
  7. He was the first in Australia to use the glue spray to stick the mesh in place to minimize the use of staples which can impinge on nerves causing pain after hernia repair;
  8. He was the first in Australia to describe the key hole repair of difficult lower abdominal wall hernias using a special non-sticky mesh which ensures high success rates, reduce complications and quicken recovery to full physical activities;
  9. He was the first in Australia to describe the surgical treatment of hernia recurrence and chronic pain after conventional groin hernia repair using the combined key hole approach to repair the hernia and the open approach to cure debilitating nerve related pain;
  10. He was the first in Australia to offer key hole repair of both groin hernias through a single small incision under the belly button.
