Endoscopic Hernia Surgery in Israel

In Israel, at the Top Ichilov clinic, hernias of any origin and type are treated using endoscopic surgical techniques – minimally invasive, without complications and consequences for the patient, without reducing their quality of life.

The most common and complex to reduce are spinal hernias and inguinal hernias due to their proximity to major vessels (inguinal) or nerve endings (intervertebral).

Therefore, the surgical treatment of such hernias is performed only by experienced surgeons, specialists in endoscopic hernia surgery: in Israel (according to patient reviews), the best doctors operate, possessing unique knowledge and experience in performing technically complex operations. Thanks to the professionalism of the surgeons and the limitless modern technical capabilities of the clinic, patients are freed from hernias and their complications without pain and deterioration of their condition.

Endoscopic Hernia Surgery in Israel – Key Steps on the Path to Recovery

Endoscopic hernia surgery is relief from pain and return of mobility without trauma and complications

  • Inguinal hernias represent the exit of the peritoneum and abdominal organs (primarily loops of the intestine) from their anatomically correct position and protrusion into the inguinal canal. The cause is the weakness of the abdominal wall. If such a hernia is not reduced surgically, it can lead to serious complications – causing strangulation of intestinal loops and the development of intestinal obstruction, which is accompanied by pain and the risk of peritonitis. In Israel, such a hernia is reduced endoscopically under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes several punctures (or incisions) in the abdomen at the site of the protrusion, through one of which an optical device is introduced, and through the others – microsurgical instruments. The doctor sees all his actions on a monitor in multiple magnification, ensuring precision and clarity of manipulations. To improve visibility in the surgical field, the abdominal cavity is filled with gas. The operation consists of extracting the organ from the hernial sac and reinforcing the abdominal wall with a special mesh made of biocompatible and safe materials. The cost of endoscopic surgery for inguinal hernias in Israel can vary, depending on the presence or absence of aggravating circumstances (complications caused by the hernia formation).
  • Endoscopic spinal hernia surgery in Israel (patient reviews confirm) is characterized by high quality and complete safety. Experienced spinal surgeons perform such complex operations so virtuously and professionally that they do not harm the patient with their manipulations. Due to the relatively high number of cases of disability after spinal surgery for hernia, many people in the post-Soviet space suffering from this pathology are hesitant to undergo surgery. At Top Ichilov, such cases have not been recorded, and spinal surgeries always end with the patient's recovery and return of mobility without pain and postoperative problems. The previously used endoscopicmicrodiscectomy – removal of the herniated disc along with the damaged vertebra and implantation of a fixator – is becoming a thing of the past due to the risks of possible complications. New and safe methods of hernia removal and release of compressed nerve roots have replaced it. One of them is endoscopic percutaneous nucleotomy – which involves drilling a part of the herniated protrusion that presses on the nerve with a special spiral needle. The surgical intervention does not require large incisions and the use of fixators or other supporting structures, implants, as only the hernia of the disc (or its part) is removed while preserving the integrity of the vertebra. The needle is introduced using endoscopic equipment through a small puncture at the site of the hernia from the back or chest. After such an operation, the patient is discharged the next day and does not require observation. Another method is cold plasma nucleoplasty – affecting the hernia with cold plasma directed to the site of the displaced disc using a puncture needle. The endoscopic method of removing displaced tissues of the pulposus nucleus and denervation of the fibrous ring of the disc is called Disc-FX, which is also performed through a puncture using a special device Trigger-Flex.

Many patients with hernias are afraid to seek treatment in Israeli clinics, believing that the cost of endoscopic hernia surgery in Israel is exorbitant. At Top Ichilov, this misconception is dispelled by providing high-class medical assistance at reasonable prices. Therefore, do not neglect your medical problem and consult professionals who will get you back on your feet, not in a wheelchair.

Diagnostic Procedures – The Initial and Important Stage of Healing

Diagnostic procedures depend on the location of the hernia and are aimed at accurately determining its location, as well as selecting the optimal method of intervention.

At Top Ichilov, the diagnostics department conducts:

  • multislice CT;
  • MRI;
  • X-ray examination;
  • electromyographic examination;
  • abdominal ultrasound;
  • ECG;
  • laboratory tests.

All procedures are performed within a short time – within 1 day, and the diagnostic program does not exceed 3 days in duration. Moreover, on the 3rd day, a council of doctors meets to review the examination results and jointly select a treatment program for the patient.
