These are usually small lumps of tissues that break through their natural barrier. Most often, hernias do not cause any pain or discomfort and go unnoticed, and such hernias do not require any treatment or can be managed through non-surgical methods. Surgery is indicated when the hernias grow rapidly in size, causing severe symptoms and complications that affect your quality of life. Read on to know more about hernia surgery and the types of surgical procedures with their benefits and recovery time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Hernia Surgery?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapidly growing hernias can impinge (press) against the surrounding structures where they develop, causing several complications.

Hernia surgery is of two types:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Herniorrhaphy (tissue repair)<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the oldest type of hernia surgery that involves a large incision made directly over the hernia, for easy access and insertion of surgical instruments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protruded tissue or organ is replaced to its original position while the hernia sac is removed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The muscle wall or the opening through which the hernia protruded is sutured.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Hernioplasty (mesh repair)<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this procedure after the replacement of the protruded tissue or organ, a mesh is placed over it and then sutured.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mesh used is made up of flexible plastics (polypropylene) or animal tissue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small cuts are made around the hole in the shape of the mesh, which is placed attached to the healthy tissues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damaged tissues around the hernia depend on the mesh as a supportive structure as they regrow.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>How is Hernia Surgery Performed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It usually takes around 1 to 2 years for the hernia to show any noticeable or painful symptoms, which are often seen during strenuous and vigorous activities. Hernias do not resolve or heal without surgery, so when severe symptoms occur surgery is necessary. The surgery involves the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>\u00a0Pre-procedure\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your general physician (GP) will conduct a physical examination to evaluate your hernia.

less scarring due to small incisions, faster healing and recovery and lesser post-operative complications.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"4\"><span style=\"font-weight:
