Inguinal Hernia Surgery

Types

There are 2 types of inguinal hernias:

  • Indirect inguinal hernias:

    This kind of hernia is caused by a congenital (present at birth) abnormality in the abdominal wall.
  • Direct inguinal hernias:

    Men are more likely to get this type of hernia. These are most commonly caused by a long-term weakening in the abdominal wall muscles, as well as straining by heavy lifting in the inguinal canal.

    Hernias can occur on either one or both sides of the abdominal cavity. Because the weakness in the abdominal wall occurs with ageing, direct inguinal hernias are more probable later in life.

    Inguinal hernias are rarely harmful. It can, however, be painful while lifting, straining, bending with a bowel movement, or coughing. Men with compromised abdominal muscles are more likely to develop direct inguinal hernias. A hernia repair surgery will be required, in such a case. Hence know the surgery cost in Mumbai or the average cost based on the treatment and take the procedure ahead.

Symptoms

When inguinal hernias first emerge, they may be painless or cause no symptoms. A protrusion on one or both sides of the groin that disappears when lying down is one of the symptoms that can occur later.

Groin pain, particularly while lifting, coughing, or exercising.
In the groin, a sense of weakness, burning or heaviness
Vomiting
Fever
A swollen scrotum

How it is treated:

Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty are other terms for inguinal hernia surgery.

There are two types of surgery for treating inguinal hernia- Open surgery and Laparoscopic surgery.

  • Open surgery:

    This usually entails local anesthesia, which puts the patient to sleep during the open hernia repair. To reach the hernia, the surgeon makes a small incision in the groin. The hernia is subsequently pushed back into the abdomen, and the abdominal wall is strengthened with synthetic mesh and stitching.
  • Laparoscopic surgery:

    The surgeon first creates multiple small incisions in the lower belly and inserts a laparoscope, a thin, tube-like equipment with a camera, into the incisions. The bulging tissue is then moved back into the abdomen, and the weakening muscle is repaired with mesh. Laparoscopic surgery is not recommended to everyone, particularly those with big hernias. People who have this Inguinal Hernia Surgery have a faster recovery time and fewer scarring than those who have open surgery.

To treat the inguinal hernia, the best surgical treatment is offered by Kapadia Hospital in Mumbai.
