Hernia Repair: Restore Comfort and Health

Overview

Hernia repair is a surgical procedure designed to correct hernias, which occur when an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This condition can cause pain, discomfort, and potential complications if left untreated. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure optimal results and a high level of patient satisfaction, helping you regain comfort and normal function.

Procedure Options

1. Open Hernia Repair: Involves making an incision near the hernia site to push the protruding tissue back into place and reinforcing the weakened area with stitches or mesh. This traditional approach is effective for various types of hernias.
2. Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A minimally invasive technique that uses several small incisions and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to guide the repair. The hernia is fixed using mesh, resulting in less pain and quicker recovery.
3. Robotic Hernia Repair: Utilizes robotic technology to enhance precision and control during the procedure, providing a minimally invasive option with potentially faster recovery times and reduced post-operative pain.

Benefits:

• Relief from pain and discomfort caused by the hernia
• Restoration of normal function and physical activity
• Reduced risk of hernia-related complications, such as bowel obstruction or strangulation
• Improved quality of life

Risks:

• Infection or bleeding
• Recurrence of the hernia
• Pain or discomfort at the incision site
• Potential for nerve damage or chronic pain
• Possible need for revision surgery if complications arise

Our expert surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, but should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for at least four to six weeks.
• Pain Management: Mild to moderate pain, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications.
• Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding wound care, activity restrictions, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process.
