Inguinal Hernia Repair
It occurs when soft tissues extend through an area of weakness or a deformity in the lower abdominal muscles. It generally occurs in or near the groin area. Anybody can suffer from an inguinal hernia.
During this process, the surgeon pushes the bulging tissues back into the abdomen. It is done while stitching and reinforcing the portion of the abdominal wall that has the defect. This procedure is also referred to as inguinal herniorrhaphy and open hernia repair.
Surgery isn’t always required. But hernias don’t show improvement without it. An untreated hernia can be life-threatening. While there are some side effects and risks associated with surgery but most people experience positive results.
Causes
- fluid or pressure in the abdomen
- heavy lifting, such as weightlifting
- repetitive straining during urination or bowel movements
- obesity
- chronic cough
- pregnancy
Need of Inguinal Hernia Repair
- your hernia gets larger
- pain develops or increases
- you have difficulty performing daily activities
A hernia can be extremely dangerous if the intestines become twisted or trapped. If this happens, you may have:
- fever
- increased heart rate
- pain
- nausea
- vomiting
- darkening of the bulge
- inability to push the hernia back to the abdomen
The Procedure
- Open surgery
The surgeon will give general anaesthesia to make you fall asleep during the surgery. If the hernia is small local anaesthesia may also work.
The surgeon will make an incision and locate the hernia. Then it will be separated from surrounding tissues. The herniated tissue will be placed back into place in the abdomen. Using stitches the tear will be closed. It will also strengthen the weak abdominal muscles. The mesh will be attached to strengthen the abdominal tissues. It also reduces the risk of recurrence of hernia. Using mesh will significantly increase the probability of getting a hernia in the future.
- Laparoscopy
It is useful when the hernia is very small and easy to access. This method leaves smaller scars and faster recovery than regular surgery. The surgeon is going to use a laparoscope that is a thin lighted tube with a camera on the end. It is a miniaturized instrument to do what would otherwise be done in open surgery.
