Hernia Surgery in C-scheme, Jaipur

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or other body part bulges through the wall of muscle. It involves having an internal organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. Most hernias occur within the abdominal cavity.

What are the types of Hernia?

Umbilical hernia

It occurs when part of the small intestine passes through the abdominal wall near the navel. It’s common in newborns. Femoral hernia

It occurs when the intestine enters the upper thigh. Femoral hernias are very common in older women. Ventral hernia

It happens when tissue bulges through an opening in the muscles of your abdomen. You may notice that the size of the hernia reduces when you’re lying down.

Inguinal hernia

It occurs when the intestine or the bladder pushes through the abdominal wall. About 96% of groin hernias are inguinal. It mostly occurs in men because of a weakness in this area.

What are the Symptoms of Hernia?

A hernia may cause discomfort and pain. The most common symptom of a hernia is a bulge or lump in the affected area. You may find that the lump vanishes when you’re lying down. Immediate medical attention is required if an inguinal hernia produces severe abdominal complaints such as:

pain
nausea
vomiting
the bulge cannot be pressed back into the abdomen

What are the Causes of Hernia?

A hernia occurs when there is pressure in the abdomen, such as:

Damage from an injury or surgery
Persistent coughing or sneezing
Diarrhoea or constipation
Lifting heavy objects

In addition, obesity, pregnancy, poor nutrition, and smoking, can all make hernias more probable.

What are the Complications of Hernia?

Sometimes an untreated hernia can lead to possibly serious complications. Your hernia might grow and cause more symptoms. It may put too much pressure on adjacent tissues, which can cause inflammation and discomfort.

How can we prevent Hernia?

You can make simple lifestyle changes to avoid getting a hernia. Here are a few hernia prevention tips:

Stop smoking.
Maintain healthy body weight.
Try not to strain while having a bowel movement
Eat high-fibre foods to prevent constipation.
Do exercises to strengthen your abdomen muscles
Avoid lifting heavyweights

How Is Hernia Diagnosed?

To diagnose your condition, first, your doctor will do a physical examination. During this examination, your doctor may feel for a bulge in your abdominal area.

Your doctor is also likely to use imaging tests to help in their diagnosis. These can include:

Abdominal ultrasound
CT scan
MRI scan

How can we treat Hernia?

Surgery

If your hernia is growing larger or causing pain, your surgeon may decide it’s best to do surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery
It uses a tiny camera and miniature surgical equipment to repair the hernia using only a few small incisions. It’s also less complicated.
Open surgery
The surgeon makes a cut close to the site of the hernia and then pushes the bulging back into the abdomen. They then sew the area shut.

After your surgery, you may experience pain around the site. Your surgeon will prescribe medication to help with the uneasiness while you recover.

Mesh repair

This procedure is normally done under anaesthetic. A cut is made over the site and the bulge is pushed back into place. The repair is done by placing a piece of sterile mesh at the weak point of the abdominal wall. This is held firmly in place. The outer cut on the skin surface is closed.

Conclusion

Hernia is a common problem. It can often be harmless and pain-free, but at times it can bring distress and pain.

Is a hernia dangerous?

Typically, the hernia is not dangerous. Most hernias cause mild discomfort. But emergency situations, which occur infrequently, can be life-threatening.

Is surgery required if I have a hernia?

Whether you need surgery or not depends on your symptoms. It’s best to see a hernia surgeon or specialist to discuss the treatment.

How Long Does It Take to Recover?

Since muscles are not cut, pain is minimal. There are few restrictions but the recovery period is rapid.

Let me just start by saying, ‘Thank you Apollo’. For several months, I was suffering from Hernia because of which, I was facing problems in my day to day life and even my daily routine was suffering. Having visited a number of doctors in the past with zero results, I had almost given up. That is when I came across Dr. Neelam. With his advice, I visited Apollo Spectra Karol Bagh for my surgery. Since Apollo is such a well-known name, it made me feel confident and reassured. Dr. Sagar was my surgeon at Apollo Spectra and he changed my life completely. I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much!

Before undergoing my surgery, I was really scared and frightened. However, the doctor responsible for the surgery, Dr. Sandeep Banerjee was a calming presence who assured me of a positive outcome by reiterating that I was his responsibility and that he will ensure that nothing untoward happens to me and that the surgery is a success. Such calm, kind words spoken by the man in-charge of the treatment were a calming presence, which helped me regain my composure and were a big help to me. Post my surgery, I realise how those kind words were spoken with true genuity and touched my heart. My surgery was a success and I would like to thank Dr. Banerjee and Apollo Spectra hospital for the same.

I am much better now. The doctor operated me well.I am pleased with this hospital and the comfort it has provided me.

I was suffering from severe discomfort while passing urine. When this became a regular concern, I consulted a homoeopathic doctor who prescribed me a few medicines. Even after popping the pills regularly, I was nowhere close to feeling the relief. I visited another doctor and he diagnosed me with a hernia near my urinary bladder. The doctor advised me to consult with a surgeon to remove a hernia. Heeding the advice of a friend, I visited Dr. Ashutosh Vajpayee in Apollo Spectra. He was so kind and humble that he helped me relax immediately. I am also a 79-year-old cardiac patient, therefore, it was a high-risk case. However, my operation was a success and all the credit goes to Dr. Vajpayee and his team. He is definitely one of the best doctors in our country. All the staff members were very supportive and took good care of me. If I had a problem, they were always ready to help. They were extremely friendly and helped me recover faster. I would like to thank each of them from the bottom of my heart. I wish them good luck in their future endeavours.
