Hernia Repair
Hernia is a common condition that occurs in all ages and is amenable to surgical treatment with a high success rate. Hernia presents as a bulge underneath the skin which frequently appears on standing up and when one coughs. Hernias commonly appear in the inguinal region, at around the navel and at sites of previous surgical incisions. All hernias are formed because of an underlying deficiency in the abdominal muscle wall. The bulge of the hernia can be made prominent when one strains the abdomen during cough or weight lifting. Most hernias can either be reduced spontaneously when lying in bed or with a gentle massage on the hernia. If the hernia cannot be reduced, it requires urgent surgery for reduction.
All hernias will not be resolved without surgical treatment. If left alone, hernia may get bigger in time and becomes irreducible. There is always a danger of trapping intestine in the hernia leading to blockage of the gut and in severe cases, endangering the viability of the bowel. Hernias usually get bigger and cause a lot of discomfort and inconvenience to the patients. In inguinal hernias, the groin bulge can extend downwards to involve the scrotum and cause significant disfigurement. Undue external pressure on the hernia may cause injury or even perforation of the bowel inside the hernia especially if the hernia cannot be reduced. In order to solve all problems associated with hernias, surgical repair of the hernia is necessary.
Ways to fix a Hernia
There are two ways to fix a hernia in general, the open surgical method or the use of laparoscopy.
The open surgical method will require an incision of about 4 to 5cm to the skin over the site of the hernia in order to repair the abdominal defect.
laparoscopic approach requires are one 1cm incision at the belly button and two other 0.5cm puncture holes at the lower abdomen for the completion of the repair.
