What is hernia surgery?

Hernia surgery involves the repair of a hernia, a condition where an internal organ or tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This condition can occur in various parts of the body, but it commonly affects the stomach and groin areas. The mainstay of hernia repair is either open surgery or laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques that restore the correct position of the displaced tissue and strengthen the weakened area.

At Livasa Hospital, we specialize in laparoscopic hernia surgery, which is favored for its benefits of smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery. We also perform open hernia repairs when indicated, providing comprehensive care for all types of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical, ventral, and femoral hernias.

Signs and symptoms that indicate you need hernia surgery

Recognizing the signs that may necessitate hernia surgery is crucial for preventing complications. Common symptoms include:

• A noticeable bulge or swelling in the abdomen or groin area.
• Persistent pain or discomfort, especially when bending over, lifting, or coughing.
• A sense of heaviness or a dragging sensation in the abdomen.
• Weakness or pressure in the abdominal area.
• Occasional pain or swelling around the testicles if the hernia is in the groin.

If you encounter any of these symptoms, it is important to seek consultation with a hernia specialist doctor at Livasa Hospital to avoid complications such as strangulation or bowel obstruction.

Factors causing hernia symptoms

Several factors can contribute to the development of a hernia:

• Weak muscles: Hernias are often due to muscle weakness that may be congenital (present at birth) or develop as you age.
• Chronic coughing: Conditions that lead to persistent coughing can stress abdominal muscles.
• Heavy lifting: Frequently lifting heavy objects without proper support can lead to hernias.
• Obesity: Excess weight increases pressure on the abdominal wall, heightening the risk of hernias.
• Poor nutrition and smoking: These factors can impair muscle health and healing.

Mitigating these factors where possible can help reduce the risk of hernias and aid recovery post-surgery.
