What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The two most common types of hernias are inguinal hernia, which occurs in the groin area, and umbilical hernia, which occurs around the belly button. While hernias can affect people of all ages, they are most common in older adults, those who are overweight, or individuals who have experienced heavy lifting or abdominal strain.

Inguinal Hernia Repair

An inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia and occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall or groin. While many inguinal hernias are asymptomatic, they can cause pain and discomfort, especially during physical activity or while lifting heavy objects. Inguinal hernia repair involves carefully repositioning the protruding tissue and reinforcing the weak spot in the abdominal wall with stitches or mesh. This surgical procedure can be performed using traditional or minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques, depending on the patient’s condition and preferences.

Umbilical Hernia Repair

An umbilical hernia occurs when tissue or part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall near the belly button. This type of hernia is common in newborns but can also occur in adults due to increased pressure on the abdominal area due to obesity, pregnancy, or heavy lifting. Symptoms often include a bulge or swelling around the navel, which may become more noticeable when coughing or straining. Umbilical hernia repair involves making a small incision at the site of the hernia and gently pushing the protruding tissue back into place. The opening in the abdominal wall is then closed, usually with stitches or mesh for added strength and support.

Hernia Repair Procedure

At Royal Villanova, hernia repair surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the hernia and the patient’s preferences. In less invasive laparoscopic procedures, small incisions are made and a small camera (laparoscope) is inserted to guide the surgeon as he repairs the hernia using specialized instruments. This approach offers many benefits, including smaller incisions, less scarring, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery time. Traditional open surgery may be recommended for larger or more complex hernias. Regardless of the approach, the surgery is designed to be effective and safe in treating the problem.
