Symptoms of Inguinal Hernia

An inguinal hernia occurs when soft tissue, usually a part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This can cause various symptoms, including:

  • Visible or palpable bulge in the groin or scrotum
  • Pain or discomfort while lifting heavy objects or during physical activity
  • Aching or burning sensation in the affected area
  • Swelling or enlargement of the scrotum in men
  • Sharp or localized pain

Causes of Inguinal Hernia

The exact cause of inguinal hernias is often unknown, but several factors can contribute to their development, including:

  • Weakness in the abdominal muscles present from birth
  • Persistent coughing or sneezing
  • Heavy lifting or straining during bowel movements
  • Pregnancy or obesity, which can put extra pressure on the abdomen

Surgical Treatment Options for Inguinal Hernia

When it comes to inguinal hernias, surgery is often the recommended treatment approach. At PrimdeVie, our experienced surgeons perform various surgical techniques, including:

1. Open Hernia Repair

This traditional approach involves making an incision near the hernia to access the weakened muscle wall and repair it. The hernia sac is then pushed back into place, and the abdominal wall is reinforced using sutures or a synthetic mesh.

2. Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a minimally invasive technique that involves making a few small incisions in the abdomen. Specialized surgical tools and a tiny camera are inserted through these incisions to perform the repair. This method offers faster recovery and minimal scarring.

3. Robotic-Assisted Hernia Repair

Robotic-assisted hernia repair is an advanced technique that utilizes robotic technology to enhance surgical precision and control. The surgeon operates robotic arms to perform the repair, offering increased dexterity and visualization during the procedure.
