Incisional Hernia!
The most common kind of Hernia: Incisional hernia What is Incisional Hernia? So this is something we know and have seen around us. When a person encounters a surgery and later a hernia pushes out itself under the skin through the weak muscle and the surgery incision it becomes painful and sensitive. So to portray a more informative picture: post any surgery/incision the muscle around the incision is weak. If due to any reason or strain the muscle doesn’t heal as it is supposed to be then a gap shows in between the muscle cut and a strong piece of muscle pushes itself out of that gap creating a lump under the skin. With time the tissues under the weak muscles find a way through the opening reaching the lump and making it sensitive.
What are the Treatments for an Incisional Hernia? Now that depends on the type of a hernia. If a hernia is small and can be pushed back through the opening inside the abdomen muscle then a belt commonly known as truss is suggested to the patients to wear around the area to probe constant pressure on the hernia. This helps to push back the extra grown muscle inside the muscle wall and heal the muscle opening. But if a hernia growing is large, sensitive and painful. If it forms a de-shaped structure of your body which looks odd day by day then surgery is recommended. But the decision is to the patient whether or not to have a hernia removed by surgery.
How is the surgery done? Performed under general anesthesia the surgery is carried out through laparoscopy i.e. making minor cuts rather than large open cuts. Tiny medical instruments are inserted through that hole pushing the muscle repairing the muscle defect by suture. These small sutures heal fast and prevent a hernia from reoccurring. It depends on the condition of the suture whether a mesh graft is applied to cover preventing the hernia to return even if the wound remains unhealed.
How much time does it take to recover? Almost all hernia patients are able to coming back to their daily life activity within two to four weeks’ time. The belly will be tender, especially for the first week. During this time, the incision should be protected during an activity that increases abdominal pressure by applying firm but gentle pressure on the incision line. Especially imperative for incisional hernia patients, this is an alert that as they are predisposed to an incisional hernia already and can be at risk for another one at the new incision sites.
