Inguinal Hernia

When tissue, such as a portion of the intestine, pushes through a weak area in the abdomen-in groin region, it is known as an inguinal hernia. When you cough, lean over, or lift anything heavy, the ensuing bulge may hurt.

Causes Of Inguinal Hernia

An inguinal hernia arises when the lower abdominal wall has a weakening or hole that permits abdominal tissue to press through. Many factors can play a role in this, including:

A gap or weak area that exists at birth, Congenital changes in connective tissue (collagen) strength, A gap or weak place caused by previous abdominal surgery, Coughing or sneezing on a regular basis, Constant straining to urinate or defecate, Strenuous exercise or physical labor on a regular basis, Normal tissue damage occurs with aging.

Types Of Inguinal Hernia-Direct inguinal hernia, Indirect inguinal hernia.

Direct Inguinal Hernia- A direct inguinal hernia enters the inguinal canal through the wall. Adults develop this form of hernia over time as a result of weaker abdominal muscles and continuous strain on the muscular wall.

Indirect Inguinal Hernia-An indirect inguinal hernia enters the inguinal canal from the top. This is generally due to a congenital defect. The entrance to certain foetuses’ canals does not close completely during development in the uterus.

Complication Of Inguinal Hernia

A hernia can block the intestine if its contents become stuck in a weak section of the abdominal wall. A blocked colon will cause nausea, vomiting, inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement, and significant discomfort.

If not corrected quickly with surgery, most inguinal hernias will get bigger over time. In males, this means that a hernia may expand into the scrotum, causing swelling and discomfort.

An incarcerated hernia may restrict blood flow to a portion of your intestine. This strangling might result in the death of the infected intestinal tissue. A strangulated hernia necessitates emergency surgery and is potentially lifesaving.

Diagnosis Of Inguinal Hernia

A medical history and physical examination are usually used to diagnose inguinal hernia. Doctor will inquire about hernia symptoms. He might look for and check for a protrusion in the groin or scrotal region during the exam.

To make the hernia visible, patients may be advised to stand and cough.

Treatment Of Inguinal Hernia

Laparoscopic   Inguinal Hernia Repair : In the lower abdomen, three smaller keyholes are made. A camera called a laparoscope is placed into the abdomen during laparoscopic hernia surgery in order to view the hernia defect on a monitor. The hernia sac has been taken out of the abdominal wall defect and then a mesh is used to cover the hernia defect. The small keyholes are closed up with sutures, which naturally fall out over time.

Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

In the groin region, an incision is created into the skin. The hernia is moved back into the abdomen and the abdominal wall is sutured up. Strengthening the closure and lowering the risk of hernia recurrence may be accomplished by using mesh.
