Hernia is a condition in which part of an intra-abdominal \u00a0organ displays and protrudes through a faint (weak) part \u00a0of the abdominal wall. The causes of hernias are: Anatomically loose birth walls, obesity, constipation, trauma, previous operations, heavy manual labor, heavy lifting, chronic cough.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The obvious symptom of the hernia is the apparent swelling at some point in the abdominal wall. Its main complication is the bowel obstruction and strangulation \u00a0which can occur even in small hernias. At strangulation, part of the intestine is trapped in the hernia and gradually begins to necrotize.. A strangulated hernia can be life-threatening if it isn\u2019t treated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Inguinal hernia is the most common hernia and it mostly appears in men. The inguinal canal appears in the ventral part of the abdominal wall, from where the testes descend to the man before his birth, (in women there is no round uterine ligament). It can be indirect to mostly young men and direct to men over 50.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Umbilical hernia occurs near the navel, in infants or shortly after birth, and in adults during life with progressive deterioration. They mainly occur in obese women or after pregnancy or after severe coughing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Hiatal Hernia appears in the abdomen, in the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity so it does not appear swollen externally. These hernias can cause acid reflux from the stomach to the esophagus, resulting in heartburn, pain and eventually erosion of the esophagus.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Femoral Hernia, like the inguinal one, is a hernia of the groin area. It is more common in women and appears just below the groin aspect, usually after pregnancy. They are often complicated and require early recovery.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The treatment of hernia is solely surgical repair, whatever the severity of the condition. There are no alternative approaches. Surgical methods of rehabilitation fall into two main categories:<\/p>\n

Open methods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Classical methods without the use of mesh have now been abandoned because of the high recurrence rates, mainly due to staple tissue tension. Techniques with non-tensioned mesh and stapling (eg Lichtenstein) are considered the Gold Standard. The only mesh-free method with low recurrence rates is the Shouldice method. In children the repair is done without strengthening the abdominal walls.<\/p>\n

Laparoscopic methods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic repair is done using special tools and a camera through very small incisions on the skin. The use of mesh is absolutely required.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Mesh repair and especially laparoscopy in selected cases almost eliminates the possibility of recurrence (less than 1%).<\/strong><\/p>\n

In contrast,\u00a0open methods of recovery without the use of a mesh show a high rate of relapse.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
