What can I expect from Laparoscopy Hernia?
hernia laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that is used to repair hernia. This type of surgery involves a shorter recovery time and less chances of developing complications such as infections than open surgery. During hernia laparoscopy, small tools are placed in small cuts made in the abdominal wall. These tools are used to repair any holes or tears in the abdominal wall and returning intestines to its original position. Then, near the naval or abdominal button, a small cut is then made. Two or three small holes for puncture are also made into the abdominal wall. These small sections allow the insertion of a small camera and other necessary medical tools. The insertion of a small piece of network material that is used to strengthen the abdominal wall. This prevents the intestinal protrusion in the future. The network material can be ensured in many ways, depending on the preferences of the surgeon. Some of the options include clamps, stitches or studs made of titanium.
After the network is secured, the surgical wound is closed and the hernia laparoscopy is completed. In some cases, the patient may go home on the same day as the procedure, although it is more common to be observed overnight in the hospital for signs of possible complications. The recovery time for laparoscopy of hernia is generally approximately two weeks over six weeks with open operation. After surgery, considerable pain or discomfort may occur for several days, but usually begins to decrease dramatically for this period. It is important to the patient to carefully follow all the instructions related to the medical staff relating to rest and proper postoperative care for the surgical place.
Painkillers may be administered for the first few days after hernia laparoscopy, although many patients are doing well with over -the -counter reliefs of pain such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Complications are rare but any unusual or annoying symptoms thatoccur after surgery, doctors should be reported. Some things to be careful about include fever, chills and bleeding. Other potential symptoms of complications may include problems with urination, shortness of breath or increased swelling near the surgical site.
