Do I Need Hernia Surgery?
A hernia is when one of your organs pushes through the muscle or tissue wall holding it. Typically, hernias form in the groin or abdomen and can be the result of everything from obesity and heavy lifting to pregnancy. It's important you contact our office for a consultation as soon as you notice a hernia. Hernias, without surgical intervention, can worsen over time and lead to serious health complications like bowel obstruction.
Some of the benefits of our Upland hernia repair surgery services include:
- Relieving Pain: The procedure can eliminate pain and discomfort caused by a hernia.
- Improving Quality of Life: One of the most significant benefits of the surgery is an improved quality of life, as you no longer need to worry about physical impairments and pain.
- Reducing the Chance of Complications: By getting prompt surgery for your hernia, you significantly reduce the chance of costly complications.
Open vs. Laparoscopic Surgery
At ABC Surgery, we've spent years improving the overall scope of our surgical options. As such, you can breathe easily, knowing that our hernia doctor can perform either open or laparoscopic surgery, depending on your situation. We'll answer your questions and provide you with all the information you need to decide which type is best for you confidently.
- Open Hernia Repair Surgery: Open hernia repair surgery, also called traditional hernia surgery, is when our doctor makes a single incision that gives them access to your herniated tissue. Through your incision, we'll move the herniated tissue back to its natural position and then stitch the area back together using special surgical mesh.
- Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery: A laparoscopic hernia repair surgery, also called keyhole surgery, is when our surgeon makes several tiny incisions to operate on your hernia. By inserting a thin tube with a camera on it through the incisions, our doctor will use the images from it to repair the area. Laparoscopic surgery is typically reserved for minor hernia cases and for those looking for a minimally invasive option.
Our Hernia Repair Surgery Process
Although some of the details of your surgery may change depending on the type of operation you require, most of them will remain the same across the different types. When you visit our practice for the first time, our doctor will start by asking you various questions about your hernia. How long have you been dealing with it? Does it cause you pain or discomfort?
From there, our Upland hernia doctor will conduct a comprehensive exam using imaging technology to gauge the severity of your hernia. Finally, our staff will provide you with your surgical plan, which outlines what type of surgery we recommend and what to expect during your appointment. For example, we can place you under general anesthesia, which can be ideal for those with anxiety, or perform the procedure with a local anesthetic, which may be ideal for elderly patients.
