An incisional hernia is an outward bulge of tissue or organs that occurs specifically in areas that have been injured or weakened by surgery. Other serious accidents and injuries can also cause incisional hernias that are non-surgical. Depending on where these hernias occur, they could result in intestinal issues. we offer proven herniorrhaphy options that will help our patients resolve hernia issues quickly.
An incisional hernia is a type of hernia caused by a poorly healed surgical wound. An incisional hernia can be large and painful. An incisional hernia can occur after surgery in the belly and can develop months or even years after surgery. Incisional hernia can occur in the setting of previous surgical incision with increased age with laxity in the abdominal wall, increased abdominal pressure (ex: increased weight, chronic severe coughs, chronic constipations, etc), and previous wound infections.
Overall time to recovery and pain after surgery is also significantly decreased with the laparoscopic method. For inguinal hernia, laparoscopic hernia repair has some benefit in regards to post-operative recovery and pain and provides better cosmesis. The rate of chronic pain problems after surgery is less with laparoscopic hernia repair than open repair.
