Inguinal Hernia Repair at CARE Surgery Clinic
At CARE Surgery Clinic, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for inguinal hernias, a common condition where a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall in the groin area. Our experienced surgeons offer a variety of surgical repair options, including minimally invasive techniques, to effectively address inguinal hernias and alleviate associated symptoms.
Common Questions
An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through a weak point in the inguinal canal, a passageway in the groin. This can create a noticeable bulge and may cause discomfort or pain, especially during physical activity.
- Indirect Inguinal Hernia: The most common type, often present at birth, where the hernia follows the path the testicles descended during fetal development.
- Direct Inguinal Hernia: Usually develops later in life due to weakening of the abdominal wall muscles.
- A bulge in the groin area that may increase in size when coughing or straining.
- Discomfort or pain in the groin, especially when lifting or bending.
- A heavy or dragging sensation in the groin.
- Swelling around the testicles (in males).
- Less Pain: Smaller incisions result in less post-operative pain.
- Faster Recovery: Patients typically recover more quickly and return to normal activities sooner.
- Minimal Scarring: Minimally invasive surgery leaves smaller, less noticeable scars.
Our Approach
We offer various surgical techniques to repair inguinal hernias, including:
- Open Surgery: A traditional approach with a single larger incision in the groin.
- Laparoscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and specialized instruments.
- Robotic Surgery: An advanced minimally invasive approach offering enhanced precision and dexterity.
The choice of surgical technique depends on factors such as the type and size of the hernia, your overall health, and surgeon preference.
