Indications for Surgery
For pathologies such as inguinal hernia, supravesical and umbilical hernias, in cases of painful sensations caused by the hernia, with an increase in the size of the hernial sac, and in complications that may lead to hernia incarceration, doctors at Top Ihilov recommend surgical intervention.
In inguinal hernia, the peritoneum along with a section of the intestine protrudes into the inguinal canal and becomes trapped, resulting in intestinal obstruction, impaired blood circulation, tissue necrosis, and the development of peritonitis. In supravesical hernia, the anterior part of the bladder protrudes outward. Umbilical hernia is characterized by the protrusion of internal organs through the umbilical ring.
Procedure of Hernioplasty
Laparoscopic hernia repair in Israel is considered a gentle method of treatment. Such manipulations are not associated with significant blood loss, prolonged rehabilitation periods, and are characterized by better cosmetic postoperative results. The surgeon makes 3 punctures in the abdominal wall. Through one of them, the doctor inflates the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide – this increases the operational space. Through the other two, an endoscope is introduced. The image of the internal cavity is displayed on a computer screen. The doctor separates the hernia from the surrounding tissues and returns it to the abdominal cavity. After this, the abdominal wall muscles are reinforced with a mesh material, which is fixed using staples – alloplasty. This implant is made from hypoallergenic material, which helps to avoid rejection. After some time, the implanted mesh becomes integrated with the tissues, ultimately strengthening the abdominal wall.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia due to the painful sensations associated with the inflation of gas into the abdominal cavity. The patient stays in the hospital for only 24 hours after the procedure.
Diagnosis Before the Procedure
Diagnosis is a very important stage of treatment, as symptoms in hernias often resemble those of varicocele, hydrocele, and round ligament cysts. For quality differential diagnosis at Top Ihilov, the following are performed:
- physical examination;
- CT;
- ultrasound;
- hernography – examination of the peritoneum using a special water-soluble contrast agent.
