About Hernia

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The most common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (navel), and incisional hernias. Left untreated, a hernia can become incarcerated or strangulated, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate surgical attention.

Common symptoms include a visible bulge in the abdomen or groin, discomfort or pain when bending, coughing, or lifting, and a feeling of heaviness in the affected area. Risk factors include obesity, chronic coughing, heavy lifting, and previous abdominal surgeries.

At Pristyn Care in Pondicherry, our general surgeons evaluate each patient individually and recommend the most suitable approach, whether laparoscopic or open hernia repair, based on the type, size, and severity of the hernia. Early consultation can help prevent complications and support a smoother recovery.

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

Doctor examining patient's stomach area for hernia diagnosis

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.

Preparation before hernia surgery

Preparation before hernia surgery includes medical evaluation, chest x-ray, and certain specific tests depending on your overall health and medical conditions. After consultation with your doctor and discussing the benefits and possible complications of the surgery, you will need to give written consent for the surgery.

It’s recommended that you take the shower the night before or the morning of the surgery.
If you face problems such as difficulties moving your bowels or anemia – similar preparation may be used after consulting with your doctor.
If you take drugs such as aspirin, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications (arthritis medications), and certain vitamins, they should be stopped for the first few days of your surgery.
Keep your stomach empty. Don’t eat anything, not even water, after midnight or the night before your hernia surgery. The risk of developing complications increases during or after your surgery if you eat or drink anything before the surgery.
You can take the medicines that your doctor has told you are permissible to take with a sip of water the morning of the surgery.
Arrange someone for help after your surgery. Plan to have someone who can drive you home post-surgery.
Quit or reduce smoking and consuming alcohol and arrange for any help that you may need at home.

By keeping all the above-mentioned points, you can easily prepare for hernia surgery and ensure it is successful.

Benefits of laparoscopic hernia surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is considered the best method to treat hernia as it’s a modern and advanced way to treat the problem. If you are suffering from a hernia and seeking the best and minimal pain treatment in Pondicherry, you should consider opting for this advanced, minimal pain, and minimal blood loss procedure. The following are the top benefits of choosing laparoscopic surgery for hernia treatment.

Small incisions- Laparoscopic surgery involves small incisions. Therefore, the risk of bleeding or infection diminishes. Also, this procedure doesn’t result in wounds or scars. Laparoscopic surgery is the best procedure if you want to get rid of a hernia without any fear of pain, bleeding, infection, or other complications.
Less risk of complications- During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon uses a medical instrument called a laparoscope that has a small camera and light on one end. With the help of the camera and light, the surgeon sees the inside of the abdomen and performs the surgery precisely, diminishing the risk of complications.
High success rate- The success rate of laparoscopic hernia surgery is as high as 95-98 percent and the risk of complications is as low as almost zero. However, one thing you should keep in mind is that you choose an experienced and reliable surgeon for laparoscopic hernia surgery.
Recovery– Above all, the best part of laparoscopic hernia surgery is that it promotes quick, minimal pain, and comfortable recovery, unlike open surgery of hernia. You can resume your daily routine within 2-3 days but complete recovery may take around 2-3 weeks.

If you want to get rid of your hernia in the safest way, laparoscopic repair is the best option.
