      What is Hernia?

      A hernia occurs in the abdomen or groin when an organ pushes through the surrounding muscle or tissue. It could appear as an odd bulge that comes and goes during different activities or in different positions. 

      Hernias may develop gradually with age as muscles experience ongoing wear and tear. It can also result from an injury, surgery, or a congenital condition.

      Types of Hernia:

      Specific types of hernias are there which includes:

      • Inguinal hernia: It isthe most prevalent type of hernia that makes up to 75% of all hernia cases. It primarily impacts males or individuals assigned male at birth (AMAB). Inguinal hernias occur when a portion of the bowel pushes through the inguinal canal, a pathway along the inner thigh. 
      • Femoral hernia: It is a less frequent form of groin hernia, happening in the femoral canal situated below the inguinal canal. It involves the protrusion of fatty tissue.
      • Hiatal hernia: This is another common type of hernia that is acquired during lifetime. It occurs when the opening in the diaphragm, where the esophagus passes through, widens, allowing the upper part of the stomach to move up into the chest.
      • Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: It is a significant birth abnormality where the diaphragm doesn't fully close during fetal development. This condition can lead to abdominal organs moving into the chest cavity while they are still developing, which can restrict lung growth due to the crowding.
      • Incisional hernia: It develops when tissue pushes through a previous surgical incision in the abdominal wall that has weakened over time. It’s a common side effect of abdominal surgery.
      • Umbilical hernia: It occurs when a section of the intestine pushes through a gap in the abdominal wall close to the belly button. The majority of umbilical hernias are congenital.
      • Ventral hernia: It occurs through the front wall of the abdomen. It includes umbilical hernias and incisional hernias. An "epigastric hernia" is a type of ventral hernia occurring above the navel.
      • Perineal hernia: It happens when organs or tissue protrude through a gap or weakened area in the pelvic floor, moving into the abdominal cavity. These hernias are not so common.

      Symptoms

      The symptoms vary based on the type of hernia, and sometimes, there might not be any noticeable symptoms. In instances of inguinal, femoral, umbilical, and incisional hernias, symptoms might encompass:

      • Pain or discomfort
      • Nausea
      • Vomiting
      • Bulge or lump
      • Heartburn
      • Constipation
      • Chest pain

      Treatment options and utilities of treatment options at TaCa

      If hernia is growing larger or causing pain or discomfort, then there is a need of surgical procedure, which includes:
      • Open surgery: The surgeon makes an incision to open skin. Then closes the hernia using sutures, mesh, or both, and the surgical wound in the skin is closed with sutures, staples, or surgical glue.
      • Laparoscopic surgery: Although it is typically more expensive, it is used for repeat surgeries to prevent scarring from the previous procedure and is less likely to result in complications like infection. With a laparoscope guiding the procedure, a hernia can be repaired with minimal incisions, resulting in a quicker recovery.

        Hernia

        Hernias causing symptoms or restricting activity should be repaired. Small hernias without symptoms can be monitored safely, but they won't resolve without surgery.

        Hernia surgery commonly brings about some level of discomfort, but effective pain management through medication can be done. After surgery, the pain gradually diminishes, allowing most patients to resume their regular activities within a few weeks.

        Focus on low-fiber, easily digested foods like scrambled eggs, yoghurt, and soup after hernia surgery. Reintroduce solid foods gradually, with a focus on high-protein and high-fiber options such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, to promote healing and avoid constipation. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Avoid heavy, greasy, or spicy foods that may irritate the surgical site.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it's not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient's well-being.

        Below mentioned are some of the complications or side effects of hernia surgery that includes:

        • Infection 
        • Seromas (collection of fluid)
        • Hematomas (collection of blood)
        • Injury to nearby tissue, organs or blood vessels
        • Problem while emptying bladder

        Several factors are there which can be responsible for the cost of hernia treatment:

        • Type and severity of hernia
        • Type of surgery performed
        • Hospital’s type and location 
        • Anesthesiologist fee
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        One should be able to return to work after 1–2 weeks, however if the job requires physical labor, there may be a need for more time off. Walking and other light activities can aid in the healing process, but one should refrain from heavy lifting and intense activities for around 4–6 weeks.

        Groin hernias have a recurrence rate of 1–3%, abdominal (ventral) hernias range from 5–10%, and stoma hernias show a recurrence rate of 10–15%. In more intricate hernia cases, the recurrence rate stands at 10–20%, influenced by the hernia's characteristics and additional factors.
