What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or other body part protrudes through the wall of muscle or tissue that normally contains it. Most hernias occur within the abdominal cavity, between the chest and the hips. They grow large over time, as the pressure inside the abdomen pushes on the area of weakness.

Hernias can be diagnosed by your surgeon after a physical examination. The diagnosis would usually require a confirmation with either an USG or CT scan. There are many types of hernias, based on factors such as location in the body and cause.

  • Inguinal hernia: This common hernia occurs in the groin near the opening of the inguinal canal, and it may grow larger over time.
  • Umbilical hernia: An umbilical hernia is a weakness that forms in the abdominal wall through and around the belly button. Most people with this hernia first notice discomfort or a belly button bulge.
  • Ventral hernia: This type of hernia develops when a weak spot in any part of  the abdominal wall enables abdominal tissue or an organ to protrude through a weak muscle area.
  • Incisional hernia: This type of hernia is a protrusion of tissue at the site of a healed surgical scar.
  • Femoral hernia: Located in the groin, this type of hernia may be mistaken for inguinal hernia. It is more prone to developing complications and requires more urgent treatment.
  • Epigastric hernia: Fatty tissue protrudes through the abdominal wall in midline between the navel and lower part of the sternum (breastbone).
  • Spigelian hernia (Lateral hernia): The intestine pushes through the abdomen at the side of the abdominal muscle, below the navel.
  • Lumbar Hernia: Hernia developing through the flanks.
  • Diaphragmatic hernia: Organs in the abdomen move into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm.
  • Paraesophageal hiatal hernia: In this type of hernia, a portion of the stomach protrudes up through the hiatus and next to the esophagus.

What causes a hernia?

Inguinal and femoral hernias are due to weakness in the groin that may have been present since birth, or are associated with aging and repeated strains on the abdominal and groin areas. Such strain may come from physical exertion, obesity, pregnancy, frequent coughing, or straining on the toilet due to constipation or straining for micturition.

Adults may get an umbilical hernia by straining the abdominal area, being overweight, having a long-lasting heavy cough or after giving birth.

Symptoms of hernia

A hernia in the abdomen or groin can produce a noticeable lump or bulge that can be pushed back in, or that can disappear when lying down. Laughing, crying, coughing, and straining during a bowel movement or physical activity may make the lump reappear after it has been pushed in. This lump may be associated with dull, pulling, dragging kind of pain in lower abdomen.

Sometimes hernias can present with acute pain which may result from the hernia getting obstructed within its sac. This may be associated with nausea, vomiting and in later stages, abdominal distension and complete stoppage of bowels (stools). Rarely, the hernia contents can strangulate and both obstruction and strangulation necessitates an emergency surgery, which is most often an open surgery.

Due to these dreaded complications, more often than not, surgery is advised and accepted by most patients. Doing it as an elective surgery has many benefits rather than an emergency setting when laparoscopic (keyhole) repair may not be feasible and patient ends up with a large painful incision with extended recovery times.

  • Traditional repair: In a traditional or open repair, a large incision is made over the hernia , followed by reduction of the contents and repair. A surgical mesh is often used to reinforce the hernia repair site providing long-term reinforcement. This is reserved for selected patients or in case of emergency.
  • Laparoscopic hernia repair: In laparoscopic hernia repair procedures—such as laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs or laparoscopic repairs for ventral and incisional hernias—patients receive general anesthesia and are completely asleep for the surgery. This procedure is less invasive, using only small incisions to insert the laparoscope. Patients are usually able to leave the hospital a few hours after the surgery.
  • Hernia Repair
  • Incisions for inguinal hernia repair.

Advantages of Laparoscopic repair:

  •  Laparoscopy allows the placement of mesh in the ideal space to achieve excellent short and long term results and ensuring very early return to physical activity.
  • There is minimal pain and patient goes back with the smallest of scars.
  • Quick ambulation 2-3 hours after surgery ensures patient returns to regular activity the same day and feels minimal side effects inspite of a surgery under general anesthesia.
  • Chances of complications, such as mesh infection, are much lower with laparoscopic repair.
  • It also possible to check the other side for inguinal hernia and repair it at the same time through the same incisions.
