How Hernia Surgery is Performed?




A Hernia is a bulge portion of intestine which passes through the muscles of intestine. A hernia occurs when the muscle wall becomes weekend and this allows the internal organs to push through the weekend area of the abdomen to form a balloon like sac. Hernia also occurs in many places like abdomen, diaphragm, and brain. In the United States approximately 60,000 hernia operations are performed. 

If you want to notice the hernia you can easily recognized as a bulge part under the skin or you may feel pain when you lift any heavy objects This operation is perform by open surgery or it can be done by using a small telescope called laparoscope.

This procedure can be done neither with nor without mesh

A hernia surgery is usually done to strengthen the abdominal wall, the intestine is pushed back and the synthetic mesh is used to strengthen the week muscle. Hernia repair may perform by inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, femoral hernia. Inguinal hernia commonly occurs in men than in case of women. These may be of direct and indirect. But both of these types may appear as a bulge in the inguinal area. Umbilical hernia commonly noted at the time of birth when the opening of the abdominal wall closes, it occurs later n the life because the spot remains inside the abdomen wall. Femoral hernia occurs in the mid thigh area. This type of hernia is not able to push back to its place.

  3. Hernia operation are one of the commonest operations &laparoscopic surgery has brought revolution to this disease. Bilateral inguinal hernia , unilateral inguinal hernia, recurrent hernia, large hernia in the inguinal region and femoral region are very well tackled by this approach of keyhole surgery. One of the most important type of hernia are the #incisional hernia & ventral hernias that happens in the abdominal wall which occurs postoperatively. They are conventionally done by open surgery but it poses lot of wound related complications like wound infections, pain, recurrent hernia, flap necroses, blacking of the skin & bad scar. All these complications can be avoided if one does laparoscopic repair .Normally the IPOM & IPOM PLUS are the the two approaches which are used for incisional hernias . Meshes used in IPOM & IPOM PLUS are very expensive and can be done away with modern way treatment of abdominal wall reconstruction know as AWR. Different approaches are Tep ie extra peritoneal approach and eTAP ie extended totally extraperitoneal approach and TAPP . These are all abbreviations of different types of hernias. Presently in very large hernias TAR is the operation in fashion. Bigger operations resulting in big incisional hernias require defect closure rather then bridging the defect by this type of an operation known as transverse abdomonis release (TAR). One can use a very large mesh 30×30 cm to reinforce abdominal wall which has been destroyed by incisional hernias. Patients functional results are superlative. These procedures can be done laparoscopically and has come as a huge advancement &revolution in hernia surgeries .
