Hernioplasty
Hernia Repair Surgery in Jayanagar, Bangalore | Manipal Hospitals
A hernia is the bulging of an organ through the tissue or muscles that normally confines it. The disorder most commonly develops in the abdominal wall, when the intestine presses through a weak point in the wall. Inguinal hernias are the most prevalent type of abdominal wall hernia.
Abdominal wall hernia repair is one of the most prevalent forms of surgery. The hernia is removed by the surgeon using open or laparoscopic surgery. The surgeon makes an incision to expose the skin and carefully pulls the hernia back into position before closing the weak part of the muscle with stitches or a flexible mesh for support. The incision formed during laparoscopic surgery is small, resulting in faster recovery and much less scarring.
Symptoms of a Hernia
Laughing, shouting, coughing, stretching during a bowel movement, or engaging in physical activity may cause the lump to resurface after it has moved into the colon.
-
Swelling or a protrusion in the groin or scrotum are some signs of a hernia.
-
Pain at the bulging place becomes very severe.
-
Pain caused by lifting weights.

A dull hurting feeling.
