Hernioplasty at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Hernioplasty at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center is a surgical procedure used to treat various types of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and other abdominal wall hernias. It involves repositioning the herniated tissue and reinforcing the abdominal wall to prevent recurrence.

When to See a Doctor:

Pain or discomfort: Especially during physical activity, coughing, or straining.
Visible bulge or shape change: If a bulge appears that may reduce when lying down or can be manually pushed back.
Hernia strangulation: If the bulge cannot be pushed back in, or if you experience severe pain, redness, or swelling.
General symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, constipation, or bowel dysfunction alongside hernia symptoms may indicate complications.

Consultation Process:

1.Initial examination: The doctor performs a physical and manual examination to determine the hernia type, size, and location, and gathers a full medical history.

2.Diagnostic tests:

Abdominal ultrasound to assess the hernia structure and its relation to surrounding organs.
X-ray or CT scan for detailed examination of complications and associated conditions.
Lab tests to assess overall health and inflammation.

3.Surgical Evaluation: The surgeon determines the need for surgery based on the type, size, symptoms, and possible risks of the hernia.

Treatment Methods – Hernioplasty:

1.Conservative treatment: In cases of small, asymptomatic hernias, a support belt (hernia truss) may be recommended. This helps prevent worsening but does not cure the condition.

2.Surgical hernioplasty:

Laparoscopic hernioplasty: A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and specialized instruments. It offers fast recovery and minimal postoperative pain.
Open hernioplasty: Used for large or complicated hernias requiring more extensive repair with a larger incision.

Postoperative Period:

Laparoscopic surgery: Patients are usually discharged the next day or within a few days.
Open surgery: Patients may need to stay in the hospital for 7–10 days depending on the complexity.

Doctors provide dietary guidelines, physical activity limitations, and pain management instructions during recovery.

Recovery:

After laparoscopy: Recovery is faster, and patients often resume daily activities within a few days.
After open surgery: Recovery may take several weeks with a gradual return to routine life.

Follow-Up Care:

A follow-up visit is required several weeks post-surgery to evaluate healing and detect any potential complications. Additional tests may be recommended if necessary.
