Hernia Surgery in Yeshwanthpur Bangalore

Whenever an internal organ or other parts of the body protrudes through the wall of muscles or tissues that typically contains it, a hernia arises. The intestines, for example, can break through a vulnerable spot inside the abdominal wall. Hernias rarely heal according to their own, and operation may well be required to correct them. However, your doctor will advise you on the best treatment for your hernia and might even refer you to a surgeon. If the surgeon considers it necessary to treat your hernia, he or she will personalise the method of treatment to your specific needs.

Causes of Hernia

Hernias are generated by the combination of pressure and weakness or opening in the muscle or fascia; the pressure pulls an organ or tissue through the weakness or opening. Muscle weakness can occur from birth, but it is more common later in life. A hernia can be caused by anything that creates an increase in pressure with muscle weakness in the abdomen, such as,

  • Lifting large objects without using abdominal muscles to stabilise them

  • Constipation or diarrhoea

  • Coughing or sneezing that persists

  • Furthermore, obesity, poor diet, and smoking can all weaken muscles and increase the likelihood of hernias.

Hernias are most common in people aged 40 to 70. A physical exam is generally all that is required to identify a hernia. Your doctor will examine the region for a bulge. As standing, while coughing can accentuate a hernia, patients will most probably be asked to stand while coughing or straining.

Types of hernia

Hernias can be of different types, which require specific and devoted special care. The different types of hernia which are found in patients are as follows,

Inguinal hernia is the most frequent type of hernia, and it affects males more than women. It is because, immediately after birth, a man's testicles descend down the inguinal canal, and the canal is meant to close almost entirely behind them. It appears in the inner genital area (inguinal canal).

Incisional hernia - Can result from a previous incision (after abdominal surgery).

Femoral hernia - This type of hernia can form in the groyne area.

Umbilical hernia - This condition is common in children and infants under the age of six months in the abdominal wall at the navel.

A hiatal hernia happens when the upper stomach tries to squeeze through the diaphragm's hiatus.

Procedure

Hernia surgery is typically the only option for treatment, and open repair, laparoscopic repair, and robotic repair are the three basic forms of hernia surgery. Let us go over each sort of surgery in depth.

Depending on the severity of the hernia surgery in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore, a patient has two surgical therapeutic decisions. Each of these is explained further below,

  • Open hernia repair-Also known as herniorrhaphy, involves the use of local anaesthetic in the belly or spine to numb the area, general anaesthesia to tranquil or assist the patient in sleep, or a combination of the two.

  • Robotic hernia surgery - Robotic hernia surgery, resembling laparoscopic hernia surgery, is conducted using a laparoscope. Robotic surgery distinguishes from laparoscopic surgery because the physician is seated in the operating room at a console and controls the surgical tools. While robotic surgery can be employed to repair minor hernias or weak spots, it can also be utilised to rebuild the abdominal wall.

  • Laparoscopic hernia repair - A laparoscopic hernia operation involves inserting a laparoscope through a tiny incision. Other small incisions in the lower belly are used to implant the instruments to repair the hernia. This treatment (laparoscopic surgery) is typically performed under general anaesthesia; thus, the patient's general health will be evaluated before the surgery. During this surgery, there is no or minimal pain. Book an appointment in Manipal Hospitals to know more about treatments and procedures.
