What is Inguinal Hernia?
An inguinal hernia is a condition in which a bulge or a protrusion is formed in the abdominal region or small intestine. When the fatty tissues of the small intestine or the lower abdominal area push out it causes bulge formation. The condition can be worse when the individual indulges in the hard activity of lifting heavy objects.Â
The problem is treatable by different techniques however, can not be solved on its own. In males, the weak spot for the inguinal canal is the scrotum area.Â
Types of Inguinal Hernia:
There are two types of inguinal hernia:
Indirect inguinal hernia:
This is a condition in which the inguinal canal stays open and fails to get close even before childbirth. When the growth of organs occurs in the womb, the inguinal canal also develops. But in this issue, it does not get wide as it needs to be thus limiting the testicle movement from the abdomen into the scrotum. The fats press down from the inguinal canal and thus result in protrusions from the weak points.Â
Direct inguinal hernia:
This condition develops when the walls of the abdomen get weaker with time. Coughing, sneezing, and doing heavy exercise cause bulge formation and induce pain. Surgery can also develop the condition in individuals.Â
What is Hernia Surgery?
Hernia repair is done in different ways. Dr. Kadir Koray is an expert in this and carries out the process with laparoscopic and robotic repair techniques. The techniques are discussed below:
Laparoscopic surgical hernia repair:
In the treatment, the doctor inserts a device called a trocar into the abdomen. The device separates the abdominal wall from the peritoneum with the help of a balloon. Then the laparoscope is inserted through the umbilical cord with a camera on it. The images taken by the device will be transferred in a video that is observed in the operating area. After this, the doctor will insert additional equipment from the laparoscopy to pull the hernia bulge back into the abdomen. After this, the laparoscope will be removed and the incision will be closed by sutures.Â
Robotic hernia repairs:
A procedure in which the robots are used to control the equipment. The process carried out by robots offers greater precision. The surgery results in less pain and low risk. Doctors control the equipment. Â
