What is Hernia Repair

The Most Advanced State Of Art Daycare Surgery Centre In Delhi/NCR.

The word hernia comes from Latin, and means a rupture. The internal organs of the abdominal cavity are surrounded on all sides by a muscle layer of the abdominal wall. If pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, for example when you lift a heavy object, it is possible that part of the intestine breaks through the muscle layers. When this occurs, a so-called hernia sac protrudes outwards. It is often visible, or can be felt, as a lump under the skin.

Hernias can occur in various parts of the body. The most common types of hernia are inguinal (inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach).
In an inguinal hernia, the intestine or the bladder protrudes through the lower abdominal wall or into the inguinal canal in the groin. About 96% of all groin hernias are inguinal, and most occur in men because of a natural weakness in this area. Two types of inguinal hernias are
•    Indirect inguinal hernias, which are caused by a defect in the abdominal wall that is congenital, or present at birth
•    Direct inguinal hernias, which usually occur only in male adults and are caused by a weakness in the muscles of the abdominal wall that develops over time
A ventral hernia is a bulge of tissues through an opening of weakness within your abdominal wall muscles. It can occur at any location on your abdominal wall. Many are called incisional hernias because they form at the healed site of past surgical incisions. This type is most common in elderly or overweight people who are inactive after abdominal surgery.
A femoral hernia occurs when the intestine enters the canal carrying the femoral artery into the upper thigh. Femoral hernias are most common in women, especially those who are pregnant or obese.
In an umbilical hernia, part of the small intestine passes through the abdominal wall near the navel. Common in newborns, it also commonly afflects obese women or those who have had many children.
A hiatal hernia happens when the upper stomach squeezes through the hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes.

Risk Hernia Repair

  • Obstruction

    A hernia becomes obstructed when part of your intestine gets stuck in the muscle layer it’s pushing through. An obstructed hernia, if left untreated, can develop into a strangulated hernia

  • Strangulation

    When the abdominal contents protruding through the hernia cannot be gently pushed back in, the hernia is said to be incarcerated or irreducible. This can lead to the blood supply to the intestinal tissue being cut off. When this occurs, the hernia is said to be strangulated. This condition can be life-threatening if it isn’t treated promptly. It requires emergency surgery within a matter of hours to prevent death of the trapped tissue.

Diagnosis

 A physical exam is usually all that's needed to diagnose a hernia. Physical examination includes patient’s medical history. Doctor may ask you a variety of questions, including things like:
•    When did you first notice the bulge?
•    Have you experienced any other symptoms? Tell me a little bit about your lifestyle. Does your occupation involve heavy lifting? Do you exercise rigorously? Do you have a history of smoking?

•    Do you have a personal or family history of hernias?
•    Have you had any surgeries in the area of your abdomen or groin?
Your doctor will also likely use imaging tests to aid in their diagnosis. These can include things like:
•    abdominal ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the structures inside the body
•    CT scan, which combines X-rays with computer technology to produce an image
•    MRI scan, which uses a combination of strong magnets and radio waves to make an image

Call the doctor if you think your medicines are not helping or if you feel you are having side effects.

Surgery

Enlarging or painful hernias usually require surgery to relieve discomfort and prevent serious complications. Hernias usually don’t get better on their own. If left untreated, it’s common for a hernia to get bigger and more painful. And the longer you have a hernia, the greater your risk of developing complications. However, surgery is the only way to effectively treat a hernia. There are different types of surgeries available to repair hernias.

Hernias can be repaired with either open or laparoscopic surgery. Not all hernias are suitable for laparoscopic surgery. If your hernia requires an open surgical repair, our surgeon will work with you to determine which type of surgery is best for your condition. During open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision close to the site of the hernia, and then pushes the bulging tissue back into the abdomen. They then sew the area shut, sometimes reinforcing it with surgical mesh. Finally, they close the incision.
Laparoscopic surgery uses a tiny camera and miniaturized surgical equipment to repair the hernia using only a few small incisions. It’s also less damaging to the surrounding tissue. At PELVINIC, treatment plan is optimised according to different types of hernia and patients. The treatment plan is discussed with individual patient and explained. Dr. Sandip Banerjee, a laparoscopic hernia repair expert does a variety of hernia repair methods. Laparoscopic surgeries include TAPP, TEP for Inguinal hernia, Laparoscopic Nissens / Toupets Fundoplication for Hiatus hernia problem. For ventral/ umbilical/ incisional hernia the procedure he performs is called as laparoscopic ventral hernioplasty. Choice of mesh is an important factor which determines the efficacy of treatment outcome and overall cost attached to the procedure. Dr Banerjee prefers to use simple polypropylene meshes for inguinal hernia and composite dual meshes for ventral hernia. At Pelvinic, proper devised surgical guidelines help our patients to have highest number of successful results in hernia care. This procedure can be performed under general anaesthetic and is usually performed as a day-stay procedure. Laparoscopic hernia repair has a faster recovery time than the traditional herniorrhaphy. A return to normal activities is usually achieved within one week.

Aftercare

After your surgery, you may experience pain around the surgical site. Surgeon will prescribe medication to help ease this discomfort while you recover. Depending on the type of surgery you have, an abdominal binder may be worn for up to six weeks or for the full the duration of your recovery.

As you heal, your doctor may let you wear the binder less. Following your hernia repair, you may be unable to move around normally for weeks. You’ll need to avoid any strenuous activity. Additionally, you should avoid lifting heavy objects during this period. Open surgery often requires a longer recovery process than laparoscopic surgery. Your surgeon will let you know when you can return to your normal routine.

Frequently Ask Question

The Most Advanced State Of Art Daycare Surgery Centre In Delhi/NCR.

Can I go up and down stair after a hysterectomy?

You may go up and down stair. You will probably need to climb stairs slowly at first, one leg at the time. As your body heals, this will get easier and easier. No heavy lifting - objects greater than 20 pounds- for six weeks after the surgery.

When mesh is required, is traditional open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery better?

This is impossible to answer because every patient is different and every hernia is different. What is right for one patient may not be best for another. For this reason, an individualized approach is key. What our research has shown is that surgeon experience with a particular technique is the most important factor, whether it is laparoscopic or open.

Are there different kinds of mesh? How are they different?

There is a sizable industry devoted to a large array of hernia meshes. Some are made of various plastics; some are made of biologic materials. Some are permanent and some are designed to degrade over time. The most common type of mesh is made of a plastic material and closely resembles a window screen in appearance. Some meshes are also made with protective coatings that allow them to be placed in the abdomen near the abdominal organs.

What are the causes of hernias?

Causes of Hernias.

Most hernias are caused by a combination of pressure and an opening or weakness of muscle or connective tissue. The pressure pushes an organ or tissue through the opening or weak spot. Sometimes the muscle weakness is present at birth but more often it occurs later in life. Anything that causes an increase in abdominal pressure can cause a hernia, including obesity, lifting heavy objects, diarrhea or constipation, or persistent coughing or sneezing. Poor nutrition, smoking, and overexertion can weaken muscles and contribute to the likelihood of a hernia.
