Sampson has been our buddy since 2004. In the winter of 2008, he suffered a severe perineal hernia that required a $2000 surgery to repair it. At the time of the surgery, we were told that due to the severity of the hernia that it was likely to reoccur. As predicted, it has reoccurred and he desperately needs more surgery. Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery.

Diastasis recti is a common condition that is often mistaken or confused with a hernia. However, the two conditions are unique and require a variety of different treatments. Diastasis is latin for the separation of two parts. Recti is a latin plural meaning straight. In the medical field, diastasis recti is the separation of the linea alba (the straight line in between your six pack muscles) and the abdominal wall, commonly referred to as the six-pack muscles.

 

The confusion between diastasis recti and a hernia arises from the small to large bulge that may result in the midline due to diastasis recti and since a hernia is due to a “gap” – they are often confused. Please note that the two can often go hand in hand

 

What is Diastasis Recti?

 

A diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal wall muscles (the rectus abdominis). Most of us know the famous 6-pack muscles by looking at fitness models or bodybuilders as they are the most superficial layer of muscle and easily spottable when body fat is low and muscle tone is high. With a diastasis recti, these muscles separate in the center of the abs, causing a gap between the left and right sides of the muscle. The left and right sides of the muscle attach into a connective tissue that runs from your ribs to your pubic bone and that tissue, the linea alba – stretches and thins and as a result – the 6-pack splits – left from right.

In both men and women, this gap can be created in the midline of your belly anywhere from the pubic bone to the base of your ribcage. One obvious way to feel for the gap is during a crunch or sit-up, where one would normally feel tension and closure at the center of the abs, there is a space and a gap and your fingers can sink into your belly easily.

 

What is a Hernia?

 

Your abdomen contains layers upon layers of muscles and strong tissues. These help you move while also supporting and protecting the internal organs. A hernia occurs when the muscular wall becomes compromised and allows the contents inside the abdomen to descend outward. There are many different types of hernias, but the most common two occur in the belly or groin area.

 

Diastasis Recti vs Hernia

 

As you may be aware, distinguishing between a hernia and diastasis recti may be challenging. However, there are distinct characteristics that help differentiate the two.

 

A diastasis recti occurs only at the midline of the abdominal wall. Although it can range in placement and severity from the rib cage down to the pubic bone, it does not vear from the midline of the abdomen.

 

A hernia can occur anywhere in the abdominal wall, groin, or even in the diaphragm. Hernias more often occur at the site of a prior surgery or due to a weakened abdominal wall due to the compromised muscle structures that typically occur after an invasive abdominal surgery.

 

A diastasis may enlarge over time, but not in the same way a hernia does. Diastasis recti may stretch or spread in span due to continued strain and excessive levels of pressure on the midline. However, a hernia may enlarge over time if left untreated which may lead to life-threatening complications – strangulation.

 

Hernias can incarcerate (also known as strangulate) which cuts off the blood supply to that particular section of the intestine. As stated before, this can be a life-threatening situation.

 

This is not a concern with diastasis recti.

 

Hernia vs Diastasis Recti Pregnancy

 

There are several common types of hernias that may be mistaken as diastasis recti. These include umbilical hernia and ventral hernia. In some cases, these types of hernias may be present alongside diastasis recti.

 

Umbilical Hernia

 

Umbilical hernias are more common in children and newborns, but may affect older men and women as well. Umbilical hernias typically create a soft swelling or bulge near the belly button. This occurs when a section of the intestine protrudes through the umbilical opening in the abdomen. These hernias are typically painless and often resolve on their own as the abdominal wall continues to develop.

 

Adults may experience an umbilical hernia as a result of excess strain on the abdominals due to pregnancy, fluid in the abdomen (ascites), or other abdominal complications such as diastasis recti.

 

An umbilical hernia may be more common during the second trimester of pregnancy as your intestines become pushed toward your abdominal wall and your back. Although a hernia is typically considered uncommon during pregnancy, there are a few risk factors to be aware of:

 

previous hernia before pregnancy

 

have weak or compromised abdominal muscles

 

have diastasis recti or a small opening between the abdominal muscles

 

have excess fluid in the stomach or body

 

Ventral Hernia

 

A ventral hernia may affect men or women at any time. In some cases, a ventral hernia may be present prior to pregnancy or may occur during the pregnancy period. You should talk with your doctor about possible treatments or precautionary measures regarding a hernia that may arise during your pregnancy. In most cases, your doctor will postpone any surgical treatments until after delivery.

Diastasis Recti & Pregnancy

 

Diastasis recti often occurs during a pregnancy. As your uterus expands and becomes larger and wider, it is common for the rectus abdominis muscles to separate to allow for your growing child. In many cases, the muscles will return and heal on their own during the postpartum period. However, there are some instances where the diastasis remains postpartum.

 

Finding a proactive pregnancy prehab program may significantly reduce the probability of a diastasis occuring post-pregnancy. In addition, a restorative exercise program postpartum could help you regain your core function and strength, thus, potentially reducing the severity or presence of a diastasis recti.

 

Can Diastasis Recti Cause a Hernia?

 

In some cases, a diastasis recti may allow for portions of your organs to slip through the abdominal wall, thus resulting in a hernia. Due to a compromised linea alba and supportive tissues and compromised muscle structures, preperitoneal fat can protrude through the linea alba. This is called an epigastric hernia and can occur in men, women, and children. It is also probable that a diastasis recti that is located closer to the belly button may result in an umbilical hernia.

 

These midline hernias may have noticeable lumps or a bulge and may result in sudden, sharp, severe pain with exercise.

Sampson has been our buddy since 2004. In the winter of 2008, he suffered a severe perineal hernia that required a $2000 surgery to repair it. At the time of the surgery, we were told that due to the severity of the hernia that it was likely to reoccur. As predicted, it has reoccurred and he desperately needs more surgery before 2012. Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery. So please consider donating whatever small amount you can to help keep Sampson with the family that loves him. If you can't make a donation, please pass this info along to friends who may be able to help. Sampson, his Corgi buddies Shiloh & Rusty and his human family thank you!

Whenever there is a Live Demo in the operating room (as in they do the surgery in the operating room on the 3rd floor and the view is transferred to our Auditorium in the 8th Floor), the Director of the Hospital always wants me to take pictures of the Guest Doctor performing the surgery and straight away print the pictures to be given as presents.

 

This time, I'm using Canon 7D with the 18-135mm kit lens the hospital just bought. Usually I used Sony point and shot.

 

Pretty hard to take pictures with doctors body blocking the view. I only got the light from the Surgical Lamp pointing from above and the room light.

 

In this image, I tweaked the White Balance using in between 7900K - 10, 000K, just to try out what it'd look like.

 

The kit lens performed quite well to reach the object.

 

Comments are welcome.

Your inner belly button may protrude and turn into an outie as your belly swells, serving as a fresh sign that you are pregnant. However, infrequently, a hernia might be indicated by a popping navel, particularly during pregnancy or after childbirth. Most hernias are not very concerning. However, it's crucial to inform your doctor of any new bulges or discomfort in your belly both throughout pregnancy and in the days following delivery. Get tested for hernia during pregnancy symptoms and discover the finest medical professional at Georgia Top Surgeon.

A ventral hernia occurs in the front of the abdominal wall, usually in the midline.Log on herniaonline.com/

 

Sam had to have an operation on an inguinal hernia we discovered awhile back. They just wanted to wait until he got a little older because of the anesthesia, so we've known this was coming. We were not looking forward to this day, but Sammy did really well.

 

This picture was taken right after the surgery when we first saw him. They decided to keep him overnight just to monitor him because of his shunt. He was so sad when we first got there. He wanted to be held and just buried his face in my chest and slept for hours this way. It was so incredibly sweet and pitiful!

Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery. So please consider donating whatever small amount you can to help keep Sampson with the family that loves him. If you can't make a donation, please pass this info along to friends who may be able to help. Sampson, his Corgi buddies Shiloh & Rusty and his human family thank you!

Whenever there is a Live Demo in the operating room (as in they do the surgery in the operating room on the 3rd floor and the view is transferred to our Auditorium in the 8th Floor), the Director of the Hospital always wants me to take pictures of the Guest Doctor performing the surgery and straight away print the pictures to be given as presents.

 

This time, I'm using Canon 7D with the 18-135mm kit lens the hospital just bought. Usually I used Sony point and shot.

 

Pretty hard to take pictures with doctors body blocking the view. I only got the light from the Surgical Lamp pointing from above and the room light.

 

In this image, I tweaked the White Balance using in between 7900K - 10, 000K, just to try out what it'd look like.

 

Comments are welcome.

11.11.11 Update: A big thank you to all you wonderful flickr friends! We've received several generous donations from flickr members pushing us over the 13% mark of our goal. Since I've been promoting Sampson's photos, I've found several of them used on websites & blogs. I hold a creative commons license because I'm not a professional photographer and if people like my photos and want to use them, I don't want them to be limited by an exorbitant fee. However, I have a pup in trouble and he needs your help, so, if you like my Corgi photos or save them as favorites, please donate $1; if you use any of my Corgi or animal photos on your website or blog, please donate $5 to: corgisampson.chipin.com/sampson-the-corgis-hernia-surgery...

It's a small price to pay compared to a pro's fee, and it helps a much loved dog in need. Again, we appreciate all efforts & donations, and Sampson & the Corgi Clan thank you!
