Read along as we enlighten you about the indications and operative measures to restore a prosperous lifestyle.

What Is Hernia?

This is a common medical condition that takes place due to fatty tissue expansion. It grows through a weak spot in the nearby muscles or other connective tissues causing unbearable pain. However, in a few rare cases, it is reported to be painless. It is due to abnormal aspects of this complex situation that allow doctors to perform a few medical diagnoses to uncover the ongoing problem. In addition to this, Hernia usually expands in your abdomen or groin. It pushes or presses the organs and nearby muscles in various locations affecting your general quality of life. 

What Are The Signs And Symptoms?

  • Not all hernias are painful. However, usually, patients feel massive discomfort while lifting heavy objects or nausea in other cases. 
  • Moreover, a visible sign of lumpiness or bulge may also appear when performing physical activities. 
  • On the other hand, a dull aching pressure or a pinching sensation could also take place when laughing or coughing in particular. 
  • Patients also talk about sharp pain such as sudden heartburn or indigestion. This could be due to deeply rooted femoral and hiatal hernias that are on the verge of exploding. In such a case scenario, you are advised to rush to the doctor immediately. 

How Is It Surgically Treated?

Although open surgery has been an ideal choice since the beginning of time. However, today, with advanced tools and improved surgical instruments – we prefer operating with Laparoscopic technology. It is a minimally invasive approach that involves minor incision-making in the abdomen. The innovative device works as a third-robotic hand for surgeons. It has a built-in camera sensor and torchlight that guides the operative measures. The entire surgery is digitally performed by looking at the monitor screens. This allows precision, eliminating all potential risks during surgery.
