Why undergo Laparoscopic Surgery for Hernia?

 


In the modern era, technology has evolved everything. From medical to education every field is benefitted.Thanks to the continuous development of technology. Now physicians are able to diagnose and treat patients in better and improved ways.

But some people don’t believe in modern technology and still opt traditional ways to treat their disease. Before taking any decision learn why you should go for laparoscopic surgery.

Understand what Laparoscopic surgery is….

Laparoscopic is also referred as “minimally invasive” surgery is a revolutionary procedure in the medical field. Under this surgery a small and thin tube called laparoscope is inserted in the abdomen with minimum and small incision.

A camera is attached with the tube which sends videos or images. This helps doctors to view inside the body with fewer cuts and perform surgery with less pain.

Know about Hernia

A hernia is a hole in tissues or muscle which can be commonly found in Groin, Belly Button, and Upper part of stomach or it can occur due to any past surgical scar. It allows part of your insides to stick out.

With time Hernia can get bigger and often lead to some life-threatening complications.

You have two approaches to treat hernia Surgery, first is open surgery which includes intolerable pain, large incisions, more recovery time and so on. Second is laparoscopic surgery.

Benefits of laparoscopic surgery to treat Hernia:

·         Low or no risk of infections

The incidence of SSI (surgical site infection) in open surgery is generally high in Hernia surgery. But laparoscopic surgeries have low or no risk of infections.

·         Short hospital time

Generally, in open surgeries we have to wait months for discharge. But after Laparoscopic surgery, patients are recovered very fast. An overnight stay is sufficient at hospital to recover from laparoscopic surgery.

·         No scars after surgery

It is true that a cut over skin leaves scars. Scars of open surgery are for life-time but in laparoscopy surgery it takes hardly 6-8 months to treat surgical marks. Starting incisions may look red but it fades over time and leaves no scars.

·         Post-operative pain is less

Open surgery has intolerable post- operative pain. It takes months to heal the incisions. But in laparoscopic surgery postoperative pain is minimal. Any discomfort or affliction improves within few days.

·         Cost saving

A single night stay in the hospital could save you thousands. Laparoscopic treatment may look slightly expensive than but the other factors like less stays at hospitals, less dressings and bandages, fewer pain medicines makes the overall cost low than any other treatment.

·         Small and less incisions

There’s no doubt that multiple incisions are made at the time of open surgery which is reason of late recovery and intolerant pain. But in laparoscopic surgery hardly 1 to 1.5cm incisions are made.

·         Multiple Hernia can be treated with same incisions

If you are suffering from multiple Hernias than laparoscopic surgery would be best for you. In open surgery different incision are required to treat multiple hernia but under laparoscopic treatment it can be treated with same incision.

Laparoscopic Surgery is different for everyone depending upon person to person. Delaying in hernia treatment can cause life threatening issues to you. Contact Dr. Vipin jain and treat your hernia.
