What is a Hernia Surgery?

Hernia Surgery Benefits

What health issues can be fixed?

A Hernia surgery, also known as, Hermoplasty or herniorrhaphy, is a medical procedure that helps repair the hole or weak region in your muscular wall to push the organ or tissue back to its original place.

A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through the tissue or muscle wall that supports it. It usually develops in the groin or abdomen area. In order to treat this, herniorrhaphy or hernia surgical repair is needed.

Benefits:

  • Provides health benefits
  • Improves quality of life
  • Minimally invasive
  • Quick recovery

The many types

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

A minimally invasive procedure wherein small incisions are made to insert a camera.

Open Hernia Repair

A traditional technique with a large incision. The surgeon may use mesh for reinforcement to repair the hernia.

Robotic Hernia Repair

Performed using the same pattern with a laparoscopic treatment, with the help of robotic technology.

The procedure
Ernia Surgery At Work
What do I need to know?

Hernia works by strengthening the weak part of the abdominal wall where it develops. The defect will be closed and supported once the bulging tissue or organ has been returned to its original location.

Untreated Hernia Risks
What will happen if the hernia is not treated?

Hernia could endanger your life if not treated right away because it does not cure on its own. It will become large in time and may result in severe consequences including strangling or cutting off of the blood flow in the trapped tissue. A strangulated hernia can be fatal and may need immediate surgery.

The Key Steps
What can I expect during the treatment?

The patient will be prepared for the operation. The team will start cleaning the surgery site and administering either local or general anaesthesia. The anaesthesia used depends on your choice and your doctor’s recommendation.

The surgeon will start the incision. While laparoscopic surgery requires a small incision to insert the specialised tools and camera to treat the area, open surgery needs a large incision to access the hernia in the abdomen area.

Your surgeon will begin to repair the area right after the incision. The process depends on the type of treatment, the type of hernia, and the intricacy of the condition. The surgeon will push the protruding tissue or organ back into the abdominal cavity or its original position and may employ a mesh to reinforce and stop the hernia from returning in open surgery. A specialised tool and camera are used to repair the area in a laparoscopic or keyhole surgery.

Your surgeon will provide a postoperative care plan before your discharge. These may include pain and wound management to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Quick Hernia Repair
How long does the repair last?

Depending on the size, location, and doctor’s skill, the hernia repair usually takes 45 to an hour. A more complicated hernia like a recurring or larger one may take longer.

Safety And Comfortability
Is it safe?

Hernia can only be treated with surgery. Generally, it is a very safe procedure. However, there could be possible complications, such as bleeding, infection, recurrent hernias, or nerve damage. It is important that you adhere to your doctor’s post-operative care instructions for optimal healing.

Pain-Free Procedure
Is it hurtful?

You will not feel any pain during your operation as you will be under local or general anaesthesia. Swelling and bruising accompanied by mild to moderate pain after the surgery may be experienced. Take the prescribed pain medication to help manage the pain.

Treats All Hernias
What types of hernia can be treated?

Typical Hernia sites and organs that can be treated with surgery:

  1. Umbilical Hernias (near the navel)-The intestines extend beyond a weak place in the lower abdominal wall.
  2. Inguinal Hernias (groin area)-When the fat or intestine passes through the abdominal muscles near the navel.
  3. Hiatal Hernias (upper stomach)-A hiatus hernia stomach rises through the diaphragm.
  4. Incisional Hernias (post-surgery)-The tissue or intestine sticks through the surgical scar.
  5. Femoral hernias -Occurs between the legs and abdomen above the body.
Spot Hernia Symptoms
What are the symptoms of hernia?

Hernia symptoms could include a noticeable bulge or lump, pain or discomfort in the belly, difficulty pushing back the protrusion in the abdomen, strangulation symptoms, or severe acid reflux. See your physician right away if you are experiencing these symptoms.

Post-Surgery Alerts
When should I call my doctor after my surgery?

If you are experiencing the following symptoms – pain, fever or chills, bleeding, increased swelling, trouble in urinating, and persistent cough, as well as shortness of breath.

Recurrent Hernia Risk
Can hernias come back after the operation?

Yes, a hernia can possibly return. A recurrent hernia is a return of a previously repaired hernia in the surgical area. It can happen after months or years of initial repair. A surgical revision may be recommended once hernia returns.

How much does a Hernia Surgery cost?

Surgical scar revision may range from £2,000 to £7,000, while non-surgical can cost around

Am I suitable
Is Hernia Surgery Repair good for me?

Factors to consider

Almost everyone with a hernia can undergo repair treatment. However, the patient should not be too old and should be in good physical health to surpass the operation.

Children under the age of 5 who have belly button hernias, people who have undergone multiple surgeries in the abdomen, or anyone with medical conditions may not be suitable for the repair.

Consult your doctor to determine if you are a good candidate for hernia repair.

The risks
Can risks be prevented?

Potential risks

Treatment for hernia is safe in general. However, it can be risky and may lead to some complications. These may include the following:

 

  • Infection at the surgical site due to improper care.
  • Excessive bleeding during or after the surgery, although it rarely happens.
  • Hernia may possibly return.
  • Severe pain and discomfort due to nerve irritation.
  • Organ damage may occur in some cases.
  • Side effects from anaesthesia such as allergic reactions, dizziness, or nausea may be experienced.
  • Clotting of the blood.
  • The use of mesh may lead to rejection, complications, or infections.

 

Follow your doctor’s pre-and post-operative instructions to avoid these side effects from arising.
