Treatment

Diagnosis For Hernia

At Pristyn Care, the general surgeon diagnoses a hernia during a physical examination. The diagnosis of a hernia includes looking at the herniated area to check if a bulge is visible. For an accurate diagnosis, a patient may be asked to stand, strain or cough. The Hernia Surgeon also looks into the patients medical history. In addition, there are a few diagnostic tests the doctor may recommend to have a better look at the affected area:

  • MRI Scan
  • CT Scan
  • Abdominal ultrasound

Treatment For Hernia

As reported by experienced doctors, surgery is the best solution to treat all kinds of hernias. A hernia may be present with or without symptoms in your body. But if you want to make sure that it doesn’t cause further problems like intestinal blockage or strangulation, it is better to seek proper treatment. Hernias can be treated by open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.

  • Open surgery is a procedure where incisions are made around the affected region. The misplaced tissues are returned to their original location, and a mesh is placed to support the abdominal muscles to keep the organ in its place.
  • Laparoscopic hernia surgery is carried out by making 3-4 small incisions, and the protruding tissues are placed back in the original position. Then the mesh is placed, if needed, to reinforce the abdominal wall.
  • Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery – Robotic laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using robotic technology to repair hernias. During this procedure, tiny incisions are made, and a robotic system controlled by the surgeon is used to repair the hernia. The robotic system provides enhanced precision and dexterity compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery. This approach allows for quicker recovery, less post-operative pain, and reduced risk of complications. Overall, robotic laparoscopic hernia surgery offers patients a safe and effective treatment option for hernia repair.

What are the different types of hernia treated at Pristyn Care?

At Pristyn Care, we provide treatment for all types of hernias through open or laparoscopic techniques. The most common types of hernia are-

  • Inguinal hernia It occurs in the upper part of the thigh or groin. Around 75% of hernia cases are related to the inguinal canal. This type of hernia is more common in men as compared to women as the testicles are descended through the inguinal canal.
  • Femoral hernia- This type of hernia arises right below the groin crease. It is more common in women and occurs when the muscles are weakened due to the results of pregnancy and childbirth. This type of hernia can lead to complications very quickly. That’s why it is usually treated right after diagnosis.
  • Umbilical hernia This occurs when the intestine starts pushing through the umbilical opening. They are most common in infants, young children, and women. In children, umbilical hernia usually resolves on its own. However, in adults, surgical repair is required to treat the condition.
  • Hiatal hernia- It occurs when the stomach tissue protrudes from the diaphragm into the chest cavity. It is common in people aged above 50. This type of hernia causes heartburn, abdominal discomfort, and difficulty in swallowing foods and drinks.
  • Ventral hernia- This arises as a result of a bulge or tears in the ventral surface. They are also called incisional hernias as they are most common in people who have had abdominal surgery in the past.

Apart from these types, other types of hernia are less common but all require surgery for treatment.
