The surgeon will make an incision near the hernia site. Alternatively, a laparoscopic approach may be used, where small incisions are made, and specialized instruments and a laparoscope are used for the procedure.
The surgeon will gently push the protruding organ or tissue back into place. Then, the weakened muscle or tissue is repaired. In most cases, a synthetic mesh is used to strengthen the area and reduce the risk of the hernia recurring.
After the repair is complete, the surgeon will meticulously close the incisions using various techniques such as sutures, staples, or adhesive strips, depending on the surgeon’s preference and the specific circumstances of the surgery.
After the surgery is completed, you will be transferred to a recovery area for monitoring while waking up from anesthesia. Depending on the surgery and your health, you may be discharged on the same day or within two days.
You may be prescribed pain medication to manage any discomfort and advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a certain period of time. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.
Hernias do not typically go away on their own. While small hernias may not cause significant symptoms or complications, they often require treatment to prevent potential complications from occurring.
Common symptoms include a visible bulge or swelling, discomfort or pain at the site of the bulge, aching, or heaviness in the affected area, and a sensation of pressure or weakness.
Hernias can develop due to a combination of factors, including muscle weakness, straining during bowel movements or urination, lifting heavy objects, pregnancy, obesity, chronic coughing or sneezing, and previous surgical incisions.
A doctor can usually diagnose a hernia through a physical examination. Additional tests such as imaging studies (ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan) may be used to confirm the diagnosis or evaluate the extent of the hernia.
A hernia is a medical condition that occurs due to the weakening of muscle tissues in an organ near the abdomen causing the intestine or tissues to protrude through the weak spots nearby. Mostly, a hernia can occur in the abdomen between the chest and hips but can also appear in the upper thigh and groin areas. A hernia can appear among people of any age group.
There are several factors for occurrence of a hernia, including smoking, poor nutrition, chronic constipation, and tobacco consumption. While many hernias are not immediately severe, certain cases may require surgery to prevent life-threatening complications, as they do not resolve spontaneously.
A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, commonly causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort due to the weakened muscle at the hiatus. It can be categorized as sliding (stomach and esophagus move into the chest) or paraesophageal (stomach bulges beside the esophagus), often managed through lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery if severe.
