felt intermittently (on and off) around the hernia. This is due to the internal viscera \u2018sliding\u2019 in and out of the defect.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The most common symptom of a hernia is a bulge or lump in the affected area<\/strong>. In the case of an inguinal hernia, you may notice the hernia bump on either side of your pubic bone. You're more likely to feel your hernia through touch when you're standing up or bending down<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Small hernias can progress and evolve into large hernias with increasing symptoms<\/strong>. Severe symptoms occur when the internal viscera that protrudes through remains stuck and unable to return to its original position:<\/p>\n\n<p>If a loop of intestine is entrapped, you may experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li> Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n<li>Or Abdominal Distension<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If medical attention is not sought quickly, that loop of bowel loses its blood supply and becomes gangrenous (dead). <strong>Such a situation is life-threatening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this is a frequent situation amongst some patients who have neglected a long-standing hernia.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99b005a cmsmasters-button-mobile-align-center cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default

the most <strong>reliable<\/strong> form of treatment. Ideally, surgery should be performed while the hernia is small resulting in minimal symptoms. This <strong>reduces the risk<\/strong> of the hernia becoming incarcerated or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK555972\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strangulated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The main idea of a hernia repair is to \u2018seal\u2019 the defect with a prosthetic material known as a mesh. By anchoring a mesh over the defect, the mesh material assimilates with the normal bodily tissue over time thereby \u2018sealing\u2019 and strengthening the musculature.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Hernia repair may be performed by open (traditional), laparoscopic (keyhole) or robotic-assisted approaches. The advantages of a laparoscopic repair are:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced postoperative pain<\/li>\n<li>Smaller scars<\/li>\n<li>Smoother and faster recovery<\/li>\n<li>Earlier return to function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72eb36d

like?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;Hernia surgeries fall into three main types: open hernia repair, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) repair, and robotic repair.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In open hernia repair surgery&lt;\\\/strong&gt;, the surgeon makes a single incision (around 6 to 8cm in length) close to the site of the hernia. The herniated tissue is then pushed back into the abdomen. A mesh will then be inserted in the abdominal wall in order to strengthen it while it heals. Your skin will be stitched together using bio-absorbable threads that dissolve naturally over the course of a few days.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This procedure is usually performed under regional or general anaesthesia. Rarely, it can be done under local anaesthesia especially when there are concerns with general anaesthesia risk.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In laparoscopic hernia surgery&lt;\\\/strong&gt;, several small incisions are used instead of one larger incision. Surgical gas is used to expand the space in which the surgeon operates. A mini scope called a laparoscope is then inserted through the tiny incision so that the surgeon can examine the groin for defects. Fewer stitches are needed for this surgery and surgical tape is usually used to seal the incision site. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robotic repair surgery&lt;\\\/strong&gt; is a relatively newer surgical technique for hernia repair. It is similar to laparoscopic hernia surgery as the surgeon uses tiny incisions and a laparoscope in order to examine in the abdomen and groin. In robotic repair surgery, however, the surgeon is seated at a console in the operating theatre and operates the medical equipment from the console. This surgical technique has the advantage of maneuverability within a tight operative space as well as providing 3D images compared to the 2D images of a conventional laparoscopic surgery.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;fea7400&quot;,&quot;content_type&quot;:&quot;toggle-content&quot;,&quot;saved_section&quot;:null,&quot;saved_template&quot;:null,&quot;item_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;toggle_custom_id&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;toggle_title&quot;:&quot;What are the causes of a hernia?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;Most hernias have no apparent cause.
