Hernia Repair: Restoring Strength and Comfort

What is Hernia Repair?

Hernia repair is a surgical procedure used to treat a hernia, a condition where an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue. This condition commonly affects the abdomen, groin, and diaphragm, causing discomfort, pain, and potential complications if left untreated.

Types of Hernias Treated with Surgery

🔹 Inguinal Hernia (Groin area) – The most common type, occurring when intestines push through the abdominal wall.🔹 Umbilical Hernia (Belly button) – Often seen in infants but can develop in adults.🔹 Hiatal Hernia (Upper stomach) – Occurs when part of the stomach moves into the chest cavity through the diaphragm.🔹 Femoral Hernia (Upper thigh) – More common in women, occurs near the femoral artery.🔹 Incisional Hernia (Surgical site) – Develops after a previous abdominal surgery.

Hernia Repair Techniques

1️⃣ Open Surgery – A single incision is made over the hernia, and the tissue is pushed back into place, often reinforced with mesh.2️⃣ Laparoscopic Hernia Repair – A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera for precision, reducing recovery time and scarring.3️⃣ Robotic-Assisted Surgery – A highly advanced method allowing for greater precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.

The Hernia Repair Procedure

✅ Pre-Surgical Assessment – Physical exam, imaging tests, and medical history evaluation.✅ Anesthesia – General or local anesthesia with sedation.✅ Surgical Correction – The hernia is pushed back into place, and weakened muscle walls are strengthened, often with a surgical mesh.✅ Closure & Recovery – The incisions are closed with stitches or surgical glue, and bandages are applied.
