Treatment

Diagnosis

The doctor conducts a physical examination that will reveal any signs of pain and discomfort. A bulge or protrusion around the groin area is the first apparent sign of an inguinal hernia which becomes more prominent when you stand or cough.

If there are no signs of protrusion, your doctor may recommend imaging tests such as an MRI, CT scan, or abdominal ultrasound.

Treatment

Inguinal hernias, in some cases, can be asymptomatic, meaning they can show no signs of pain or discomfort. During this, doctors recommend watchful waiting to check for any signs of progression in the symptoms. However, in case of extreme pain, an inguinal hernia can lead to complications and must not be ignored. Surgery is the only treatment to repair an inguinal hernia permanently. There are two types of general surgeries done for the treatment of inguinal hernia.

Open Surgery -When a surgeon makes a big incision to get a full view of the structure and organs inside the body, it is called open surgery. It is done under general or local anesthesia so that the patient experiences minimum pain. The bulge is pushed back into its original state, and the surgeon shuts the wound with sutures. Sometimes, the abdominal wall loses its strength due to age which can increase the chances of recurrence of inguinal hernia. This is when your surgeon might choose to add additional support to the abdominal wall via a medical device called surgical mesh. Open surgery involves big cuts/ which leads to higher blood loss. The recovery time is also around three weeks.

Laparoscopic Surgery – Laparoscopy is an advanced method of treating inguinal hernia using a piece of equipment called a Laparoscope. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision around the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope through this incision. The camera on the other end of this device gives a clear view of the organs and tissues inside the abdomen. The treatment may also involve the use of surgical mesh for additional reinforcement or support around the abdominal wall.

Surgical mesh is an integral part of hernia repair surgery. It is a medical device that supports the damaged tissues around the hernia. The surgeons use surgical mesh during the invasive treatment to add extra strength or reinforcement to the abdominal wall. In addition, surgery via hernia mesh can decrease the chances of recurrence.
