What is the Diagnostic Procedure and Surgical Treatment for Right Inguinal Hernia?

Diagnosis

Before the procedure, your surgeon may suggest some diagnostic tests to examine your condition properly. Here are some diagnostic tests that your surgeon will most likely perform before right inguinal hernia surgery: 

  • Physical examination: During the consultation, your surgeon may ask you to cough or strain your abdomen area to check the bulge that occurs in the groin area. 
  • Imaging Tests: Imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI may be used to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment

After the examination, your surgeon will suggest you a surgical treatment i.e. herniorrhaphy, for right inguinal hernia repair. The surgery is called a hernia repair and is usually done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. 

Laparoscopic and open surgery are the two primary approaches to hernia repair. A small incision is made in the groin area, and the hernia is pushed back into position during open surgery. The abdominal wall is then strengthened with a mesh patch over the weak spot. Several small abdominal incisions are made during laparoscopic surgery, which uses a camera and specialized tools to repair the hernia.

Both types of surgery have their benefits and risks, and the choice of procedure depends on the individual patient’s medical history and the severity of the hernia. Recovery time after surgery is usually a few weeks, during which the patient may need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity. Pain medication and ice packs can help manage any discomfort during this time.

Are you going through any of these symptoms?

How Common are Right Inguinal Hernias?

A woman will experience a right inguinal hernia less than 2% of the time in her lifetime, whereas nearly 25% of men will have one. The right inguinal hernia is more likely to develop from an indirect hernia. According to experts, it is caused by a slower closure of a patent processus vaginalis on the right side.

How to Prepare for Right Inguinal Hernia Treatment?

You should follow some practices to prepare for your inguinal hernia treatment. Here are some ways in which you can prepare for your right inguinal hernia treatment: 

  • Get all your queries resolved before the procedure.
  • Stop medications as prescribed by the doctor. 
  • Make sure you have someone to drive you back home after the surgery.
  • Make sure you make arrangements for managing your household chores and other tasks beforehand as you’d be asked to rest completely after surgery.
  • Take time off work to give your body time to recover. 
  • Take proper care of your wounds and take a proper diet to avoid constipation etc. 
  • Quit smoking or alcohol intake 2-3 weeks before the surgery.

How to Recover After the Right Inguinal Hernia Treatment?

To fasten your recovery after the procedure, self-care is essential. Here are some suggestions to help you safely and effectively speed up your recovery.

After surgery, it’s important to take care of the incision. Use lukewarm water and soap to cleanse the area thoroughly every day. Avoid scrubbing the incision site. Dry off and keep the wound area clean. A lack of thorough cleaning could allow microbes to gather and cause an infection.

Diet: The doctor will typically advise a high-fiber diet to promote healing. Pick fruit, oatmeal, or bran cereal for breakfast. Choose a lean protein and fiber combination for your other meals. Foods high in vitamin B, iron, zinc, and vitamin C are also beneficial for your body to heal faster.

Medications: Following hernia surgery, doctors may recommend a variety of medications. To reduce the possibility of complications following surgery, call your doctor right away if you experience a fever, chills, or severe abdominal pain.

Physical activity: A doctor will typically advise strengthening exercises for the muscles that encircle and support the abdominal wall after the initial healing phase of surgery is finished. The range of motion in your core can generally be regained through flexibility exercises.

Right Inguinal Hernia Treatment: What Are The Risks and Complications?

Hernia repair surgery is generally safe and effective. As with any other surgery, risks and complications can occur with hernia repair surgery as well, including: 

  • Infection at the surgical site: Infections can develop there or in other parts of the body. To prevent infection, your doctor might suggest taking some antibiotics.
  • Bleeding: Patients who have surgery may experience some bleeding or develop a hematoma (a collection of blood) in the surgical site.
  • Pain & discomfort: After surgery, pain and discomfort are common, and patients may need painkillers to treat their symptoms.
  • Recurrence: If the underlying cause of the hernia is not treated, the hernia may occasionally recur after surgery.
  • Nerve damage: The procedure may harm nearby nerves, causing tingling, numbness, or pain in the thigh or groin.
  • Bowel or bladder injury: In rare cases, the surgery may injure the bowel or bladder, which may necessitate additional surgery to repair.
  • Blood clots: Surgery can increase the risk of developing blood clots in the legs or lungs, which can be life-threatening.
  • Anesthesia allergy: Complications of general anesthesia include allergic reactions, heart issues, and breathing problems. These complications are rare.

It is important to discuss these risks and complications with your healthcare provider before undergoing surgery and to follow all pre and post-operative instructions to reduce your risk of complications.

FAQs Around Right Inguinal Hernia Treatment

A right inguinal hernia: What does it mean?

When the right side of the intestine’s tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, this condition is known as an inguinal hernia.

What percentage of hernia repairs are successful?

There have been reports of 90 to 99% success rates. In many cases, mesh repairs offer a lower risk of hernia recurrence than non-mesh repairs. Unfortunately, some repairs can increase the likelihood of chronic pain by as much as 5–15%. The secret is to locate a surgeon who performs numerous hernia operations.

How long does it take to recover from an inguinal hernia operation?

It takes about three weeks to recover. After three weeks, you most likely can resume light exercise. Wait six weeks after your recovery before engaging in any strenuous exercise.

What signs of a hernia emergency should you report to a doctor?

You have a painful lump inside of you that won’t go away.

Your pain, swelling, or redness are getting worse.

Along with hernia pain, you also experience nausea, fever, or vomiting.
