What is Inguinal Hernia?

Inguinal Hernia Surgery (Inguinal Hernioplasty) is a medical procedure where a mesh patch is sewn over the weakened tissue of the inguinal or groin after the tissue is pushed back to its original place. An inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin region that develops due to a tissue protruding through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. The resulting bulge is painful while bending over or coughing.

How is Inguinal Hernia Surgery performed? Before, during and after.

Before Inguinal Hernia Surgery

The doctor will conduct a physical examination and check for signs of a bulge. After that, he will take the patient’s medical history to get an overall understanding of his health. For further examination, the doctor will carry out a CT scan, MRI scan, or abdominal ultrasound. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will ask the patient to stop taking any blood thinners, aspirin, supplements, or smoking before the procedure.

During Inguinal Hernia Repair

The surgeon administers general or local anesthesia before the procedure begins. An incision is made in the groin, and the hernia is pushed back into the abdomen. A mesh made of flexible plastic or animal tissue is sewn over the weakened spot to help strengthen the abdominal muscles. The open incision is either stitched or glued shut.

After Inguinal Hernia Surgery & Recovery Time

The individual will be kept under observation for a few hours until the anesthesia wears off. The doctor will give a set of instructions about what activities are allowed and what activities are not allowed. The patient can take a shower 36 hours after the surgery, but should make sure that gauze is removed before bathing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Inguinal hernioplasty is common. Studies estimate that nearly 27% of men and 3% of women will develop an inguinal hernia once in their lifetime. Infants and adults between the ages of 75 to 80 years are at a higher risk of developing an inguinal hernia.

Yes. Herniorrhaphy or hernia repair surgery is considered a major surgery because it requires making an incision to put the hernia back to its original position. If the patient wants to go for less invasive options, he can consult the doctor for more information.

Avoid strenuous physical activities, bending, lifting heavy objects to prevent straining the abdominal muscles too much. Engaging in yoga or any contact sports also may stretch and put pressure on the abdominal muscles, increasing the severity of the pain and forcing the hernia to bulge out further.

You cannot. A hernia should be operated upon immediately to provide relief, as a hernia does not go away on its own.

Rest the upper body on some pillows in an elevated position to lessen the pain and avoid putting any strain on the stitches after surgery.

Yes. Studies suggest that inguinal hernias are hereditary. Individuals whose parents have a history of inguinal hernias have a higher chance of developing it.
