Hernias are tears or weak areas in the muscles that make up the abdominal wall. Hernias can be present from birth, or can occur as a result of injury, and are sometimes developed after abdominal surgery. Whatever the cause, repairing them requires hernia surgery. This article can help you understand the surgery options that are available, and what you should expect.
There are two basic sorts of hernia surgery repair techniques, suture and mesh. In the first, the edges of the hernia are sutured together. That is, they are sewn with a type of surgical thread that will dissolve on its own as part of the healing process. Sutures are not often used alone because they require longer healing times. The area that is sutured can also be subject to further strain, which can cause a new hernia to occur.
The other basic type of hernia repair utilizes a permanent mesh which is attached to the edges of the hernia. The mesh is made out of plastic that is well accepted by the body. During healing, the body grows new tissue over and around the surgical mesh, making the area stronger and more resistant to new strains or tears.
Most hernia surgery is done laproscopically. Laproscopic surgery involves making two or three small incisions, into which a camera and surgical tools are inserted. The healing time associated with laproscopic surgery is much shorter than is usual for open surgery, making it an attractive choice. In some situations, open surgery is preferred over laproscopic. Talk to your doctor to find out which procedure is the correct one for you.
There are many different options available for anesthesia during hernia surgery. General anesthesia, that is, being completely unconscious, is most common. Modern anesthetics are a very safe option for abdominal surgeries. Surgeries can also be performed using local anesthesia, along with sedatives to help calm the patient. Your surgeon can discuss anesthesia options with you.
Recovery time after a hernia surgery will vary depending on the location and severity of the hernia, along with other factors. In general, a healthy person who has had laproscopic hernia repair can return to normal every day activity within days after hernia repair. It is advised to wait at least a couple of weeks before returning to sports or other strenuous activity.
