What is a hernia?

An external bulge-like structure present in the abdominal area is known as a Hernia. In this condition, the internal organ swells through the muscle wall. When the patient coughs or bends over, the bulge may cause discomfort and pain. Most of the time, the hernia is present between the hips and the chest area within the cavity of the abdomen. 

Hernia Repair Surgery Results:

After surgery, the bulge and pain are gone immediately. You will feel sore for the first week, but this gets better quickly. Most people return to light activities within 2 weeks and full normal life within 4 to 6 weeks. The repair is permanent, and with mesh, the chances of the hernia coming back are very low.

Symptoms: 

The symptoms of this disease include: 

• Fever
• Vomiting 
• Absence of the gases 
• Nausea 
• Severe pain 

Causes: 

The causes of the hernia include: 

• Due to pressure in the abdomen 
• The weak spot in the wall 
• Pressure while urination or bowel 
• Heavy activities 
• Due to pregnancy 
• Sneezing 
• Coughing 
• Age 
• Genetic history 

Common locations for hernia:

People may get a hernia in the: 

• Lower chest under the diaphragm 
• In the lower abdominal wall or the groin area 
• In the front midline or belly button 
• Incision area 

Benefits: 

The benefits include: 

• Alleviates the pain 
• Reduces the risks of development of other complications 
• Offers long-term results
• Improves the overall well-being of a person 
• Recovers quickly

Types of Hernias: 

The most common types are as follows: 

• Inguinal hernia: This type occurs in the lower abdomen when the intestines are pushed towards the weak spots of the muscle 
• Umbilical: This type normally occurs in children; it occurs when the intestine swells and protrudes through the abdominal wall around the belly. This condition can go away on its own when the abdominal wall becomes stronger 
• Ventral: this type is most likely to occur when the opening of the muscle becomes swollen 
• Hiatal: the type of hernia that affects the stomach and the diaphragm, the swelling behind the chest cavity is known as hiatal. People who are older than 50 years are affected by this.

Types of Hernia Surgery: 

There are two main types of hernia surgery.

Open Hernia Surgery:

The surgeon makes a single incision over the hernia. They push the protruding tissue back into place. They repair the weak muscle wall with stitches and often place a mesh to reinforce the area.

Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery:

This is a minimally invasive technique. The surgeon makes a few small incisions. A tiny camera and instruments are inserted through these incisions. The surgeon repairs the hernia from the inside. Recovery is faster, and scarring is minimal.

Hernia Surgery Techniques

Tension-Free Repair (Mesh Repair):

This is the most common technique. A special mesh is placed over the weak spot. The mesh acts as a reinforcement. It strengthens the area and reduces the risk of the hernia coming back.

Tissue Repair (Suture Repair):

The surgeon stitches the muscle and tissue together to close the gap. This does not use mesh. It is less common today because the recurrence rate is higher.

Laparoscopic TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal) Repair:

This is a type of laparoscopic repair. The mesh is placed inside the abdomen, in front of the hernia.

Laparoscopic TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal) Repair:

This is another type of laparoscopic repair. The mesh is placed outside the abdomen, behind the muscle wall.

Diagnosis of hernia: 

During an initial meeting, the doctor will perform the following steps: 

• Ask about the medical history 
• Assess the condition 
• Inquire about the pain in the area 
• Performs the blood test for infection diagnosis 
• Performs other tests like MRI, CT, and ultrasound 

Who can get this?

• The people who can get this surgery are: 
• Anyone who notices lumps in their abdomen 
• Poele who is suffering from the pain 
• Anyone whose life is affected due to the hernia 
• People who have a realistic expectation 

Pre care instructions:  

Before performing the surgery, the doctor may ask you to: 

• Undergo the tests such as MRI, an ultrasound, and CT scan 
• Refrain from smoking 
• Avoid performing strenuous activities 
• Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medicine 
• Do not eat on the day of the surgery 

How is the procedure of Laparoscopic surgery carried out? 

The surgery can be carried out in the given steps: 

1. Anesthesia: The doctor initiates the surgery by administering the anaesthesia, which alleviates the pain for some time 
2. Incisions: The surgeon makes an incision on the left side of the abdomen. Through the incision, the doctor inserts the camera to see inside the abdomen. 
3. Insertion of CO2: The doctor inserts CO2 through another incision to see clearly. The gas was evacuated at the end of the surgery. 
4. Process: The doctor dilates the abdominal cavity and adjusts the hernia by pushing it inside

Post-surgery tips: 

After the surgery is done, the doctor will ask you to follow the tips below for a good recovery: 

• Take the pain-relieving medicines provided by the doctor 
• Avoid drinking  fizzy drinks or beers 
• Follow the diet plan that your doctor gives 
• Do not perform heavy exercise for some months 
• Change your dressing daily 
• Avoid the intake of caffeine in your diet 
• Remove your dressing after 5 to 6 days 
• Avoid intake of other medicines, such as blood thinners 

Recovery time: 

The patient may recover in a few days. During the first 5 days, he may feel swelling in the abdomen. To reduce the recovery time, the patient should avoid heavy exercises and lifting objects in the first month after the surgery. 

Cost of Hernia surgery: 

The cost of the hernia varies between  15000 AED and 35,000 AED

This cost is not final, the final cost will be evaluated after checking the condition of a patient. Some factors may affect the estimated cost, such as the type of surgery selected, charges of anesthesia, the expertise of the surgeon, and the location of the clinic. 

Hernia Surgery Scarring:

Where are the scars?

For open surgery, there is one scar over the hernia site. For laparoscopic surgery, there are three to four small scars. They are tiny and fade over time.

How visible are they?

Scars are red and raised at first. They fade to pale and flat over 6 to 12 months. They are very hard to see after healing.

How to minimise scarring:

• Keep the incisions clean and dry.
• Do not expose scars to the sun for 1 year.
• Use silicone gel or scar creams as recommended.
• Follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions

Hernia Surgery vs Other Procedures:

Hernia Surgery vs. Watchful Waiting:

If your hernia is small and painless, your doctor may recommend waiting. But surgery is the only permanent fix. If the hernia grows or causes pain, surgery is recommended.

Open vs. Laparoscopic:

Open surgery has one large incision. Laparoscopic surgery has smaller incisions and a faster recovery. Your surgeon will recommend the best option for you.

Hernia surgery is very safe when done by an expert. But every surgery has some risks.

• Swelling 
• Bruising
