The surgeon pushes the bulging tissue back into place. A synthetic mesh is often placed over the weak area to strengthen it (Lichtenstein repair). This can be done via open surgery or laparoscopy, depending on the hernia size and location.
Before Hernia Repair: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Recovery is generally quick. Most patients are discharged the same day. Pain is managed with oral medication. Avoid heavy lifting (>5kg) for 4-6 weeks to prevent recurrence.
After Hernia Repair: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Hernia Repair carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
