Hernia: Understanding the Condition and Surgical InterventionWhat is a hernia? A hernia is a condition where organs or fatty tissue bulge out through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It can occur due to various factors, such as obesity, intense physical exertion, or chronic coughing.
Why is timely surgical intervention important?- Preventing complications: If a hernia is not operated on in time, it can become strangulated, leading to emergency surgery and serious complications.
- Relief from pain: Hernias can cause significant pain, especially during physical activity.
- Preventing an increase in the size of the hernia defect: Larger hernias pose greater surgical challenges, and the earlier a hernia is operated on, the easier the surgery and the lower the chance of complications.
- Restoring the function of the abdominal wall: Surgery allows for the restoration of the abdominal wall’s physiology. In a relatively short period, you can return to your usual physical activities.
My experience in hernia surgery I specialize in TAPP, TEP, and e-TEP methods, which are advanced in the field of hernia surgery:
- TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal Approach): This method is effective for inguinal, femoral, and Spigelian hernias, both primary and recurrent, as well as for large inguinoscrotal hernias.
- TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal Approach): This method is performed outside the peritoneum and provides a quick and effective surgical solution. It is ideal for small and medium-sized inguinal and femoral hernias.
- e-TEP (Extended Totally Extraperitoneal Approach): This method is suitable for large or recurrent hernias and promises convenient surgical access.
Patient-oriented approachI believe that each patient is unique and offer a personalized approach to hernia treatment. My extensive experience allows for successful outcomes with minimal discomfort and a low probability of recurrence.
The full spectrum of minimally invasive operationsI have at my disposal the entire arsenal of minimally invasive surgery, which ensures rapid recovery and excellent cosmetic results. These methods are suitable for all types of hernias, including inguinal, femoral, Spigelian, umbilical, and other abdominal hernias.
