FAQ’S
What type of doctor performs a hernia surgery?
A primary care doctor can diagnose and treat many hernias at an early stage. Ideally, surgery is the best treatment for hernia. General surgeons and pediatric surgeons repair hernias. General surgeons who are specialized in the surgical treatment of abdominal conditions such as appendicitis, hernias, and diseases of the gallbladder, stomach, & intestines can perform the surgery depending on the location of hernia. Pediatric surgeons specialized in the surgical care of illness, injury and disability in infants, premature infants, adolescents and newborns can also perform hernia repair.
Is hernia surgery considered major surgery?
Hernia repair or hernia surgery is a common yet important surgery with potential risks and possible complications. The surgeon will make an incision and reposition the displaced tissue or organ in the correct position. After the surgery, the doctor seals the incision with stitches which are used to strengthen the tissues around the weak area. A more common technique is to insert a mesh patch to cover and strengthen a weak area of muscle or tissue.
How long does a hernia operation take?
Inguinal hernia repair or hernia surgery can be done with open surgery or laparoscopic (or keyhole) surgery. The doctor will instruct the patient on when to eat and drink before the operation. The surgery usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes and the patient can usually go home the same day. Some patients with other medical problems may have to stay the whole night in the hospital.
How painful is hernia repair surgery?
After the surgery of hernia repair, the patient may feel pain for a few days. The individual can also have symptoms such as influenza (flu), low fever, stomach upset etc. which is quite normal after the surgery. It ideally takes 7 days for a patient to recover completely after the hernia surgery.
What happens if a hernia is left untreated?
Hernias cannot heal on their own; if left untreated they can usually become bigger and painful. In some cases, they may pose serious health risks. If the protruding wall of the intestine is closed, it can cause a strangulated hernia. This is a life-threatening medical condition where a part of the fatty tissue or the small intestine protrudes through the weakest area of the abdominal muscles. The surrounding muscle contracts around the tissue, cutting off the blood supply to the small intestine which requires emergency surgery.
