Some people may only notice hernia symptoms when doing activities, such as strenuous exercise, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Hernia symptoms and factors that indicate surgery may be necessary include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">long-term hernia pain or discomfort<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">pain or discomfort that interferes with everyday activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">pain or discomfort intensifying or worsening over time<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">large hernias<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">fast-growing hernias<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">hernias in places where they might worsening or enlarging, such as the groin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">sharp abdominal pain and vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">hernias that put pressure on nerves to cause irritation and numbness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In some cases, hernias never end up causing enough symptoms to warrant medical intervention.

An overnight hospital stay may be required.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Herniorrhaphy is the oldest type of hernia surgery and is still being used. It involves a surgeon making a long incision directly over the hernia then using surgical tools to open the cut enough to access it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Tissues or a displaced organ are then returned to their original location, and the hernia sac is removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The surgeon stitches the sides of the muscle opening or hole through which the hernia protruded. Once the wound has been sterilized, it is stitched shut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Hernioplasty (mesh repair)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In hernioplasty, instead of stitching the muscle opening shut, the surgeon covers it with a flat, sterile mesh, usually made of flexible plastics, such as polypropylene, or animal tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The surgeon makes small cuts around the hole in the shape of the mesh and then stitches the patch into the healthy, intact surrounding tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Damaged or weak tissues surrounding the hernia will use the mesh, as a supportive, strengthening scaffold as they regrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Hernioplasty is better-known as tension-free hernia repair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Types of hernia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The type of repair may depend on the nature of the hernia. Three types of hernias are most common, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Reducible hernia<\/strong>: When the hernia can be pushed back into the opening it came through.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Irreducible or incarcerated hernia<\/strong>: When the organ or abdominal tissues have filled the hernia sac, and it cannot be pushed back through the hole it came through.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Strangulated hernia<\/strong>: When part of an organ or tissue becomes stuck inside the hernia with its blood supply often cut off.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Both hernia surgery techniques can either be done through a large incision or laparoscopically, which involves accessing the misplaced tissues through three or four small cuts made adjacent to the hernia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Laparoscopic surgeries are done with a lighted fiber-optic cable called a laparoscope that acts like a video camera. By inserting the laparoscope through the small cuts, the surgeons can see what they are doing inside someone&#8217;s body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Recovery<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Before a person is discharged from hospital, their surgeon will explain what activities should be avoided and for how long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It usually takes 3 to 6 weeks for a full recovery after hernia surgeries.
