How is a Hernia Treated?
A surgery is required for hernia’s treatment. There are two main types of surgery that can be performed including open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Open surgery is the general traditional way of the surgery and laparoscopic surgery is the modern and most preferred type of the surgery at present. Laparoscopic hernia surgery has taken the place of open surgery due to many advantages that it holds over the latter.
How are Laparoscopic Hernia Treatment and Surgery Done?
In the laparoscopic hernia surgery, the abdomen is inflated with a harmless gas. Then general anesthesia is given. Thereafter 3 to 4 small incisions are made near a hernia. The laparoscope is inserted through one of the incisions in order to perform the surgery. The images from the inserted laparoscope guide the surgeon to repair a hernia with mesh. However, the type of the surgery chosen depends upon various factors including hernia size, type, and location. The patient’s lifestyle, health and age factors are also being considered while selecting the type of the surgery.
What are the Advantages of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?
There are many advantages that a laparoscopic method holds over the traditional open method. These include the following:
- The patient recovers faster as he gets discharged within 24 hours of the operation and may resume the daily routing after 72 hours.
- The patient suffers less postoperative pain and fewer scars on the body.
How long does it take to Recover from a Laparoscopic Hernia Operation?
The discomfort goes away within few days. The patient can resume normal daily routine within a week. It’s important to visit your laparoscopic hernia surgeon for regular follow-ups after the surgery as per his instructions to avoid any complication, that may arise.
Is Laparoscopic Hernia Operation Safe?
The laparoscopic hernia operation is safer than traditional surgeries as the procedure is less damaging to tissues surrounding the protrusion. A patient’s body receives less scars and recovers quickly from the surgery. A hernia might develop again if the surgical procedure is not practiced properly in the first instance. Prosthetic material (mesh) is used to prevent reoccurrence of a hernia.
