Surgery for the treatment of inguinal and umbilical hernias

Hernia is a surgical disease characterized by the exit (protrusion) of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity from its normal position. The most common disease among adults and children is abdominal hernia. In medical practice, it is common to distinguish several types of abdominal hernias (abdominal cavity):

- inguinal hernias,
- femoral hernias,
- hernia of the white line of the abdomen (diastasis),
- umbilical hernias,
- postoperative.

External signs of abdominal hernia are very obvious: uncharacteristic of the anatomical structure of the human body subcutaneous protrusions in the hypochondrium, groin.

Abdominal hernias that we treat

We specialize in the surgical treatment of abdominal hernias and successfully perform operations on hernias of various sizes, and provide effective treatment in cases of recurrence.

Inguinal hernia

With an uncomplicated course, it is manifested by symptoms in the form of swelling or tightness in the groin area (on one or both sides), a feeling of discomfort and pain, which increases with physical exertion and coughing. It is most common in men. The causes of the disease are heredity, hard physical work, obesity and pregnancy in women. An inguinal hernia threatens to compress the intestinal wall and is treated only by surgery (open or laparoscopy) with the use of an endoprosthesis (surgical mesh).

Umbilical hernia

The symptoms of an umbilical hernia in adults and children are the same - it is a dense protrusion of tissues around the navel, which becomes most noticeable when crying, laughing and straining to defecate. There are competent umbilical hernias and incompetent ones: the latter are visible even in a horizontal position of the body with complete relaxation of the abdomen. It is rare in men, usually women suffer from the disease due to excess weight or pregnancy. Treatment of umbilical hernia in children is possible with massage and physical exercises to strengthen the abdominal wall, in adults - only surgically.

HERNIA OF THE WHITE LINE OF THE ABDOMEN

With this type of hernia, the rectus muscles along the midline of the abdomen diverge, forming a gap (diastasis). The protrusion may be formed by adipose tissue and/or loops of the small intestine. Hernia of the white line of the abdomen is typical for men aged 20-35 as a result of obesity, physical overexertion, constipation and is dangerous due to compression of its contents. As a rule, it is corrected by surgical intervention.

FEMORAL HERNIA

Femoral hernia often occurs in children, and more often in girls and women, and there is a protrusion of the abdominal organs in the area of the femoral fold. Causes include weak muscles of the abdominal wall, sudden weight loss, and abdominal injuries. This disease can be provoked by a strong cough, constipation, physical stress, in women - multiple pregnancies. Treatment is carried out only by surgery.

POSTOPERATIVE HERNIA

Postoperative hernias are formed as a result of surgical interventions on the organs of the abdominal cavity. As a rule, these loops of intestine under pressure go beyond the walls of the abdominal cavity. The causes can be physical exertion, excess weight, postoperative complications (hematomas, discrepancy of sutures). The disease is eliminated surgically with the use of a surgical mesh.

HERNIAS OF INTERNAL ORGANS

Hernias of internal organs (stomach, esophagus) are a change in the position of the organ in the human body as a result of pathological changes in the size of the organ and/or connective tissues. The reasons are hard physical work, obesity, pregnancy in women. In each case, the treatment is individual and determined by the herniological surgeon, but in 99% of diseases, surgical intervention is required.

Why is it necessary to operate a hernia?

A hernia never goes away on its own

To put it simply, in this disease some organ (most often - intestinal loops) under the pressure of neighboring organs changed its position in the body, at the same time damaging the front wall of the abdominal cavity, and came out under the skin. The pressure of neighboring organs has stopped, the damage to the wall has self-removed, and the displaced organ can independently return to its position? Obviously not.

There is no treatment for hernia without surgery

Abdominal hernia is dangerous due to its complications: inflammation, compression of the hernia with necrotic consequences, constipation with stagnation of fecal masses in the intestines (coprostasis), sexual dysfunction. A hernia can be guaranteed to be cured only with the help of surgery, otherwise you risk wasting time and only making the situation worse by resorting to unproven methods.

You will be able to quickly return to normal life

Modern minimally invasive (gentle, minimally traumatic) methods allow you to leave the clinic after a few hours on the same day or the next day after the operation. Hospitalization and bed rest are not required. After a month, your health will be completely restored and you will be able to return to a full-fledged life, visiting the pool and playing sports.

What kind of doctor treats an abdominal hernia?

Davyd Noga

Herniology is a field of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of hernias of the anterior abdominal wall. Hernioplasty is a surgical intervention aimed at eliminating a hernia by suturing it and strengthening weak areas of the abdominal wall. Hernia removal operations at the New Life Clinic are performed by a top category herniological surgeon with 30 years of experience in Ukraine and the USA (Loma Linda University Medical Center, California) .

Davyd Noga is the founder and chief physician of the New Life Clinic, has 22 scientific works, 3 patents for inventions (including one patent of the international PCT standard) and patent rights for 2 useful models in medicine.

Methods of carrying out operations for the treatment of hernia at New Life

OPEN HERNIOPLASTY

Open hernioplasty allows access to the contents of the hernia and the hernial gate through an external incision, while the incisions made are minimal, the tools used are minimally traumatic, and the suture material is made of ultra-thin modern materials. Thus, when performing operations, we care not only about the physical result and elimination of the disease, but also about the aesthetic wishes of our patients. Surgeons at New Life use a unique method of immersion sutures > (Invention Patent of Ukraine No. 49856, dated 10.15.2002), thanks to which the patient has an almost complete absence of scars and scars.

ENDOSCOPIC (LAPAROSCOPIC) HERNIOPLASTY

When using this technique, surgical intervention is performed not through one large incision, but through two or three small punctures up to 0.5 cm each. A special endoscopic tool is inserted into the holes and all the necessary manipulations are performed, as well as the insertion of a surgical mesh. Thus, endoscopic hernioplasty gives better results, since the location of the mesh on the side of the abdominal cavity more reliably protects the defect of the inguinal canal or the abdominal wall with increased intra-abdominal pressure.
