Agree toTerms and ConditionsHernioplasty surgery is a medical procedure that is used to repair a hernia, a condition in which an organ or tissue pushes through from a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. Hernias can develop in many parts of the body like the groin, abdomen, and diaphragm. Hernioplasty surgery is typically performed in an outpatient setting, meaning that the patient can be discharged on the same day as the surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a cut near the hernia and then push the organ or tissue back into place. The surgeon will then repair the weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue using a surgical mesh.
Open hernioplasty is a traditional type of hernia surgery that is performed by making a large incision in the area of the hernia. The surgeon will then push the organ or tissue back into place and repair the weak spot using a surgical mesh. Open hernioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a longer recovery time than other types of hernia surgery.
Laparoscopic hernioplasty is a minimally invasive type of hernia surgery that is performed using a laparoscope, which is a small, flexible tube that is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen. The laparoscope has a camera which lets the surgeon visualize the abdomen and perform the surgery using special instruments. Laparoscopic hernioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a shorter recovery time than open hernioplasty.
Robotic hernioplasty is a type of laparoscopic hernia surgery that uses a robotic system for the surgery. The robotic system is controlled by the surgeon and allows for more precise movements and greater control during the surgery. Robotic hernioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a shorter recovery time than open hernioplasty.
Tension-free hernioplasty is a type of hernia surgery that is performed using a surgical mesh to repair the weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. The mesh is put on the weak spot and is held in place using sutures or staples. Tension-free hernioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a shorter recovery time than open hernioplasty.
Inguinal hernioplasty is a type of hernia surgery that is performed to repair a hernia in the groin area. An incision is made in the groin and pushing the organ or tissue back into place. The surgeon will then repair the weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue using a surgical mesh. Inguinal hernioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a shorter recovery time than open hernioplasty.
Hernia is a condition where an organ or tissue bulges out through a weak spot or tear in the muscle wall that surrounds it.
Hernioplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to repair this hernia.
Hernioplasty is required when the hernia causes pain, discomfort or any other complications.
The most common type of hernia that requires hernioplasty is the inguinal hernia.
Other types of hernia that may require hernioplasty include umbilical hernia, femoral hernia, and incisional hernia.
If left untreated, hernias can cause serious complications such as bowel obstruction and strangulation.
Hernioplasty is a safe and effective procedure that can relieve the symptoms of hernia and improve the quality of life of the patient.
Before the surgery, the patient will be required to undergo a physical examination and some tests to determine if they are fit for the surgery.
The patient should inform the doctor about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they are taking.
The patient needs to stop some medicines medications, such as blood thinners, at least a week before the surgery.
The patient is advised to discontinue smoking and drinking, as these habits can increase the risk of complications during the surgery.
The patient will need to fast for a certain amount of time before the surgery, usually from midnight the night before.
The patient will be given instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, including what to wear and what to bring to the hospital.
It is advisable to have someone who can drive the patient home after the surgery, as they will not be able to drive themselves.
The patient will need to follow the doctor's instructions to ensure successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
Consultation with a doctor
Medical history review
Physical examination
Diagnostic tests like ultrasound, CT scan and MRI
Patients are instructed not to eat or drink for a specific period of time before surgery, stop some medicines, arrange for transportation to and from the hospital and prepare for a hospital stay (if necessary).
The patient is given anesthesia, the area around the hernia is cleaned and sterilized and an incision is made in the skin.
The hernia sac is pushed back into the abdominal cavity. A mesh patch is placed over the weakened or torn area of the abdominal wall and the patch is secured in place with sutures, staples, or surgical glue.
Stitches or surgical glue is used to close the incision. Dressing is applied over the incision site and the patient is taken to a recovery room to wake up from anesthesia.
This is a traditional method where an incision is made in the groin area to access the hernia and the weakened muscle is repaired with sutures or mesh.
This is a minimally invasive technique where a small incision is made, and a laparoscope is used to repair the hernia with mesh.
This is a newer technique where a surgeon uses a robotic system to perform the hernioplasty procedure.
Patients are given pain medication to manage any discomfort after the surgery.
Patients are usually advised to restrict physical activity for the initial few weeks after the surgery to allow for proper healing.
Patients may be advised to follow a specific diet to avoid constipation and promote proper healing.
Patients will have follow-up visits with the surgeon to monitor their recovery and ensure that the hernia has not returned.
There is a bleeding risk during and after the surgery; a blood transfusion may be required.
There is a risk of developing an infection at the incision site or in the abdominal cavity, which may require antibiotics or additional surgery.
There is a risk of complications related to the mesh used in the hernioplasty procedure, such as mesh migration, infection, or rejection.
There is a possibility of nerve damage during the surgery, which may result in numbness or weakness in the area.
There is a risk that the hernia may return after the surgery, which may require additional surgery.
