Laparoscopic Repair of Ventral Hernia

Hernia specialist in BTM Layout

What is Laparoscopic Repair of Ventral Hernia?

A ventral hernia is a protrusion in the abdomen caused by an opening in the muscle. A laparoscopic repair of the hernia is done. This issue occurs when a person has had previous Laparoscopic surgery or when muscles, particularly the abdominal muscles, are weak.
Laparoscopic ventral hernia surgery is similar to other Laparoscopic surgeries in that it uses a Laparoscope that is introduced through abdominal incisions.

Who can get Hernia?
Hernias may affect both men and women, and this is something that can happen to those who are already operated on for other abdominal procedures. It’s also possible that it’s congenital.

What are the symptoms of Vental Hernia?

Some of the symptoms are:
  • Sharp pain in the abdomen
  • Visible bulge of the abdominal wall
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting and indigestion

How is the surgery performed?

The surgeon creates three to four incisions through which air (carbon dioxide) is pushed to help the surgeon find the hernia.
The surgeon then inserts a laparoscope (a laparoscope is a small instrument with a narrow tube that has a light source and camera at the end of the tube) and uses the Laparoscope’s video camera to locate the hernia. The hernia is then removed with the help of surgical equipment through the other incisions made; to strengthen the abdominal walls, the surgeon may place a synthetic mesh and sew the region.
The incisions are then closed with surgical glue or staples. Depending on the severity of the hernia, the doctor may recommend surgery.

 

What are the advantages of this Surgery?

Small incisions are used in the procedure, which take less time to heal and allow the patient to return to regular life quickly.
 

What are the other avenues of treatment available apart from surgery?

There are several treatment options available, and the surgeon may propose one based on the patient’s medical history.
The surgery can be performed laparoscopically or by the open technique.
