Hernia Surgery

The situation becomes acute when the portion gets stuck in the area where it got swelled, which eventually slows down the supply of blood in that particular part. Surgery is a suitable solution for Inguinal hernias to ease the pain and prevent complications as a result of hernia. There are two methods of surgery which are as follows:-

Open Surgery

A single large incision (3-4 inch) in the hernia region, under general anesthesia, is made. The incision extends through the skin to get to the level of the hernia. The parts that get bulged out through the weak muscle are pushed back or reduced back through the hole. Another incision is required if the hernia is present on both sides.

Laparoscopic hernia repair

Doctors perform laparoscopic hernia repair with the help of a small video camera. They make three tiny incisions in the abdominal wall and insert the camera through one incision. This technique involves no cutting. To repair a defect or hole, doctors put a surgical mesh.
