Trusted Open Hernia Repair Treatment at Gem Hospital

Types of Open Hernia Repair Treatments

In open hernia repair, three primary techniques are commonly used, each with its own benefits and application based on the patient’s condition and hernia type:

1. Herniorrhaphy (Tissue Repair)

Herniorrhaphy is one of the oldest methods of performing an open hernia surgery. Here, the surgeon moves the herniated tissue back to the place and then stitches the muscle layers to cover the hole in the abdominal wall. This technique depends on the elasticity of the patient’s tissues, and it is most effective in treating small hernias in patients with strong abdominal muscles. There is no synthetic mesh involved and therefore the surgery is known as tissue repair surgery.

2. Hernioplasty (Mesh Repair)

Laparoscopic hernioplasty is commonly used when the size of the hernia is big or when it is necessary to strengthen the mesh. Here, after repositioning the tissue, the surgeon lays a synthetic mesh over the region of weakness in the abdominal wall. This mesh serves as a scaffold layer and over time it blends with the tissues of the body to enhance the site of repair. Mesh repair is a very effective treatment, lessening the possibility of hernia recurrence, and has become a standard in many open hernia surgeries.

3. Tension-Free Repair

Tension-free repair is a relatively new technique in the field of mesh repair. In this approach, the gap at the hernia site is closed by using the mesh and at the same time there is no tension on the tissues at the site. This painless approach reduces the level of pain after the surgery and the duration of healing, because it does not pull the tissues together which puts a lot of tension. Tension-free repair is useful in case of massive hernias, or in patients with compromised abdominal wall muscles because it is comfortable.

Benefits of Open Hernia Repair

Open hernia repair has several benefits, making it a preferred option for many patients:

• Flexible Treatment Options: That is why tissue repair, mesh repair, and tension-free options are available to choose which option is the best for the patient.

• Reduced Risk of Recurrence: In many cases, the use of mesh has been proved to lower the risk of hernia recurrence to a very great extent.

• Quick Procedure: The majority of open hernia repairs take less than an hour, and therefore it is an effective method.

• Direct Access to Hernia Site: The hernia is easily visible and directly accessible to the surgeon, hence, there is accurate repair.
