5. TREATMENTS OF HERNIA • The most common types of hernia are- • INGUINAL HERNIA- • Primary Muscular Repair aka Shouldice's Repair: This method involves pushing back the herniated organs and sewing the abdominal wall tissues back together with the help of sutures. • Simple Prolene Mesh Repair aka Leichenstein's RepairIn this 'tension-free' repair, a Polypropylene mesh is used to seal the defect so that the tension that the muscles are under in a Shouldice's repair is avoided.  • Laparoscopic Repair ( TEP and TAPP Repair )In these procedures done under general anaesthesia, a Polypropylene mesh is placed on the inner side of the abdominal wall ( posterior compartment ). • 3-D Mesh Hernia RepairThis is the most advanced and preferred technique for inguinal hernia repair. It is a simple and promising method which covers the hernia defect from 3 sides- above, below and centre. www.healinghandsclinic.co.in

6. FEMORAL HERNIA REPAIR SURGERY •    A Femoral hernia repair surgery can be done either as an open surgery or a laparoscopic ( keyhole ) surgery. In the open surgery a single long incision/cut is made whereas in a laparoscopic surgery about 3 small nicks are made. In either of the surgeries, the surgeon reduces the hernia by pushing the fatty tissues/loop of bowel back into the abdomen. This is followed by securing the femoral canal with a mesh to repair the weak spot which let the hernia through. • UMBILICAL HERNIA REPAIR SURGERY • Primary Muscular RepairThis method involves reducing the hernia and sewing the abdominal muscles back together with the help of sutures ( surgical thread ). However, this method has a high recurrence rate due to absence of mesh. • Prolene Mesh RepairIn this method, a Polypropylene mesh is placed over the defect. However, following this procedure, there are high chances of collection of pus at the operation site which makes it an unfavourable choice. • Laparoscopic RepairDone under general anaesthesia, 4 incisions of 1 cm each are taken. • 3-D Mesh repairMost of the above methods involve removing the umbilicus, but at Healing Hands Clinic we ensure that umbilicus is preserved by adopting a modified 3-D umbilical hernia repair www.healinghandsclinic.co.in
