What are the Symptoms of Hernia?

  • A bulge at the location of the hernia becomes noticeable when you bend, stand, and cough
  • Sharp pain and aching sensation
  • Burning sensation in the stomach and acid reflux
  • Constant feeling of vomiting and nausea due to bowel obstruction.

How is Hernia treated?

If you experience any of the above-listed symptoms of a hernia, it is imperative to schedule an appointment with the doctor and start your treatment before the hernia grows in its advanced stage. The doctor will examine your condition by carrying out a physical examination. They will also consider your medical history and ask other questions to decide the best treatment approach.

Depending on the severity of the pain and your overall condition, the surgeon will choose from one of the following three approaches to treat your condition.

  • Open surgery or traditional hernia repair
  • Laparoscopic hernia repair
  • Robotic hernia repair.

Types of Hernia Surgery

  • Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

Open hernia repair is the most traditional approach to repair a hernia and treat your condition. Under this procedure, the doctor makes a 3-4 inch long incision in the groin to locate the hernia. Using surgical instruments and a small piece of surgical mesh, the repair is made to the defect. The incisions are later stitched.

The recovery time for open hernia repair is longer than other procedures. It is vital to follow all the instructions imparted by the surgeon and his medical team to expedite the recovery.

  • Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

During this procedure, a laparoscope or a tiny telescope connected to a special camera is inserted into a small hollow tube, which allows the surgeon to view the hernia and surrounding tissue on the video screen. By following the view of the laparoscope, they work inside the hernia to repair it.

Compared to traditional hernia repair, the incisions made are smaller, which fastens the recovery. The surgeon also places a small piece of surgical mesh over the hernia defect and uses surgical staples to hold it in place.

  • Robotic Hernia Repair

Robotic hernia repair is the most advanced technique to repair hernia. It is a minimally invasive procedure and a better alternative to traditional hernia repair. During the procedure, the surgeon sits at a console and maneuvers the surgical instruments or robot from it.

There are various advantages of this surgery. It offers 3D images of the inside of your abdomen, ensuring precise results. The scars are small and the pain is lesser. The recovery period after robotic hernia repair is faster than the other two methods.

Advantages of Hernia Surgery

Most hernias will not get better without surgery. Hernia surgery is safe and effective for most people. Repairing a hernia have following benefits.

  • Remove any bulge or lump.
  • Prevent complications. In rare cases, part of the intestine can become trapped in the weak area of the abdominal wall. This can cut off the blood supply (strangulated hernia). It can also cause bowel blockage. Both situations are medical emergencies. Repairing the hernia will prevent this from happening.
  • Help reduce discomfort.

Risks and potential side effects

  • Seroma (fluid collection under the surgical site)
