HERNIA TREATMENT IN DUBAI WITH ADVANCED 3D MESH REPAIR TREATMENT, AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT HEALING HANDS CLINIC

Surgery is the only permanent treatment for hernias. With many hernias remaining asymptomatic for long periods, an obvious question that may occur is, 'What if I leave my hernia untreated?' According to the medical community, 'all hernias should be fixed unless severe pre-existing medical conditions make surgery unsafe.' Many patients, particularly those with a smaller, asymptomatic hernia who are afraid of undergoing surgery, choose not to have surgery. It should be noted, however, that:

• Asymptomatic hernias typically cause pain and discomfort over time. Additionally, mild existing symptoms usually worsen over time.
• If you keep delaying surgical treatment, the hernia will most likely grow larger over time, making future repair technically more difficult.
• The sooner the hernia is repaired, the smaller the hernia and there is less trauma from surgery. Surgery for a smaller hernia usually results in a faster recovery.
• The threat of strangulation is always present. It is more common with smaller hernias, and you certainly don't want it while on vacation in a remote location or before an important event like a wedding.

1. 3d mesh repair - an excellent treatment for hernia -

This is the most advanced and preferred method for repairing the majority of hernias. It is a straightforward and promising method that covers the hernia defect from three angles: above, below, and in the centre.

A mesh is a supporting structure that is used to strengthen the hernia repair. It is used to conceal the flaw and relieve tension during the repair. Otherwise, tension can cause the hernia to recur.

The mesh is constructed from a synthetic material such as polypropylene or polyester. The mesh could also be a biologic graft derived from animal tissue. Because biologic grafts are resistant to infections, they are frequently used when there is a high risk of infection.

Advantages-

• Negligible recurrence rate
• No risk of chronic pain as no stiches are taken to fix the mesh
• 15-20 minutes procedure
• Hospital stay is required only for 12 hrs

2. laparoscopic repair -

Laparoscopic surgery involves making small incisions in the abdominal wall through which instruments are inserted into the abdominal cavity. The abdomen is inflated with air, and the repair is guided by a camera. The contents of the hernia are returned to the abdominal cavity, and a mesh is secured in place to cover the hernia defect from the inside. The mesh aids in preventing its recurrence. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery include faster recovery, less pain, and a lower risk of infection.

3. open repair -

The traditional approach to hernia repair surgery is open repair, which involves making an incision over the hernia. The contents of the sac are returned to the abdominal cavity, and the sac is removed. A mesh is frequently used to cover the area of the hernia defect, depending on factors such as the location and size of the hernia. Otherwise, stitches are used to close the defect.

The open approach is commonly used for very large hernias or those that are complicated by bowel obstruction, infection, incarceration, strangulation, or recurrences.
