What is the best treatment for someone with hiatal hernia
Anyone can get a hernia at any age. Obesity, smoking, and age are three factors that contribute to hernia development.
If the hernia is along the line of the surgical wound it is more likely to be an incisional hernia.
There are not too many complications as to hernia surgery it is a minor surgery that will not leave too much scarring.
A ventral hernia is a hole in the muscle wall where the intestines can push through. This occurs if someone has lifted something heavy or has had surgeries that have weakened the muscle wall.
I am not so sure in UK but here is an estimate, if it is Hernia Repair Epigastric - it could cost at around $1500 - $3500 (http://www.surgerycosts.net/price.php?medical=hernia-repair-epigastric), and if it is Hernia Repair Inguinal it would cost you at around $1500 (http://www.surgerycosts.net/price.php?medical=hernia-repair-inguinal) Good Luck!
The different kinds of hernia are listed below: * Congenital hernia: occur in babies, present from birth. * Inguinal hernia: common in sportsmen, involves part of the bowel protrudibng into the groin * Hiatus hernia: involves the stomach, where it enters the chest cavity via the hiatus. * Incarcerated hernia: where the hernia has swollen up. * Reducible hernia: one that can be manipulated back into place easily, much like a dislocated joint can be repositioned with relative ease. * Irreducible hernia: can't be returned to its original position without surgical intervention. * Strangulated hernia: potentially fatal, as it means the bood supply has been cut off by the hernia. There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]
For an inguinal hernia repair, it can cost upwards of $25,000. This can vary depending on insurance, the hospital, the doctor and how bad the repair is.
