Understanding Inguinal Hernias: What You Need to Know
An inguinal hernia occurs when soft tissue, usually part of the intestine or fatty tissue,
pushes
through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, typically in the groin area. This can result in a visible
bulge, discomfort, pain (especially when coughing, bending, or lifting heavy objects), and in some
cases, can become a serious medical emergency if the tissue gets trapped (incarcerated) or its blood
supply is cut off (strangulated).
If you suspect you have an inguinal hernia or are experiencing related symptoms, it is crucial to consult a specialist for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. In Bareilly, Dr. Om Kumar Sharma is an Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon highly skilled in the latest, minimally invasive techniques for inguinal hernia repair.
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Modern Solution
Gone are the days when hernia surgery always meant a large incision and prolonged recovery. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair offers a modern, minimally invasive alternative, allowing for precise repair with smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker return to your daily life.
Dr. Om Kumar Sharma is proficient in all state-of-the-art laparoscopic approaches for inguinal hernia repair, including:
Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair: In this
technique, the surgeon enters the abdominal cavity, incises the peritoneum (the lining of the
abdomen), and places a mesh in the preperitoneal space (behind the abdominal lining but in front of
the muscle). The peritoneum is then closed over the mesh. TAPP provides a broad view of the
abdominal cavity, which can be advantageous, especially for identifying bilateral hernias.
Laparoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Repair: TEP is a pure
extraperitoneal approach, meaning the surgeon works entirely outside the abdominal cavity, directly
in the space between the abdominal muscles and the peritoneum. This technique avoids entering the
abdominal cavity, potentially reducing certain risks like bowel injury or adhesions. It requires
specialized dissection skills.
Enhanced-View Totally Extraperitoneal (eTEP) Repair: An
evolution of the TEP technique, eTEP allows for the creation of a larger working space in the
extraperitoneal plane, providing an enhanced view and greater flexibility for complex or larger
hernias. This approach offers the benefits of extraperitoneal surgery while overcoming some
limitations of traditional TEP, making it versatile for various types of inguinal hernias.
All these techniques involve reinforcing the weakened abdominal wall with a synthetic mesh, which helps prevent recurrence.
