HERNIA TREATMENT OPTIONS
As some type of hernia can occur without any kind of symptoms, so in such cases we just need to wait and watch. But in some case like in femoral hernia, if its not being diagnosed it might cause bowel strangulation. Generally, there are two kinds of surgery to treat hernia. One is open surgery and the other one is laparoscopic surgery. Although surgical options depend depends on the individual as well as the location of hernia.
Let’s discuss about both these surgeries to understand them better.
Open Hernia Surgical repair closes the hernia with the help of stiches and is generally closed with surgical glue and sutures.
Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery is generally considered as it requires smaller incisions and it heals rapidly. These tiny incisions are made to allow for the insertion of surgical tools to treat the disease.
Once the hernia has been treated your doctor will tell you about how to take care of the incisions and some other dos and don’ts that you need to follow to recover faster. You should also avoid smoking during the recovery time at least.
TYPED OF HERNIA WE TREAT
Inguinal Hernia:
This type of hernia occurs when a part of intestine bulge out through the lower stomach wall. The bulge usually goes through the area which is located in the groin area. An inguinal hernia can contain a portion of the small intestine or in the case of female it might be a part of reproductive organ.
This type of hernia is common in groin area and usually on the right side. Around 30% of people develop inguinal hernia in their lifetime, in which 27% are men and the left 3% are women. Inguinal hernia commonly develops in kids below the age of 5 or in older people which are above 75.
An inguinal hernia can cause a bulge not only in the groin but also in scrotum. Inguinal hernia needs to be repaired with surgery otherwise if the blood flow is cut off this might cause death.
Epigastric Hernia:
About 2-3% of all hernia cases are the case of epigastric hernia. This hernia occurs in a region of abdomen that is known as epigastric located just above the belly button and below the rib cage. Epigastric hernia can be diagnosed if you feel some pressure on the abdominal area when you cough, laugh or bear down to have a bowel movement. Their may also be some pain around the area where hernia is. Epigastric hernia are small and usually don’t cause any serious problem but if the size of epigastric hernia is large then the patient need to have the surgery.
Femoral Hernia
An estimated 2-4% of all hernias are femoral hernia. It occurs when tissues push itself out through a weak point in the groin area or inner thigh. Its size can be small to medium lump in the groin. This type rarely occurs in kids. Women are more vulnerable to this type of hernia as compared to men. It is because of the larger size of pelvis in female’s body. Femoral hernia can block blood flow to and from the leg causing complications severe. Once diagnosed it should be treated as soon as possible to avoid further complication in legs.
Hiatal Hernia
Hiatal hernia occurs in a person’s stomach, when a mass of tissue bulges out through any weak point in diaphragm. Diaphragm is an important organ which helps us in breathing. Hiatal hernia can be diagnosed if you have heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease also known as GERD. Hiatal hernia is common in people who are above 50 pr obese. Pregnant women are also vulnerable to hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernia is further classified in types i.e. type 1-4, depending upon the position of hernia.

People who have undergone any stomach surgery might become a patient of incisional hernia. It occurs when the incisional wound does not heal fully. About 20% of people who undergoes any stomach surgery are prone to incisional hernia. If that person smokes or obese then the chances increase. Incisional hernias are can be smaller or larger depending on the size. Smaller incisional hernia might not require surgery but larger needs to be operated with surgery.
