Frequently
Asked
Questions
What is a hernia?
A hernia of the abdominal wall is a weakness of the abdominal wall muscles which allows a pouch of peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen) to pop through thus forming a pocket which bowel can get stuck in.
What symptoms do hernias cause?
Hernias can cause pain when bowel gets stuck in the pocket, they can even cause strangulation of the bowel. They can cause discomfort on lifting and movement.
Treatment of hernias?
It is generally suggested that hernias are treated surgically. The operations involve dissecting free the hernial sac, closing its neck and removing the rest of the sac and then reinforcing the weakness in the abdominal muscle with mesh. The operations can be done as a keyhole procedure or for larger hernias as an ‘open’ procedure. It is possible to operate on some hernias under local anaesthetic avoiding the need for a general anaesthetic.
