Hernia

• A hernia occurs when part of an internal organ or
  body part protrudes through an opening into
  another area where it ordinarily should not be
  located.
• There are many different types of hernias
  depending on the location it found.
• Some hernias are present at birth, while others
  develop during adulthood.

Different Types of Hernia 

• Femoral hernia As the name suggests this type of
  hernia causes a bulge in the upper thigh just
  below the groin. The passage between the abdomen
  and the thigh containing the large blood vessels
  namely the femoral artery and vein gets
  herniated. It is more common in women than men.

• Inguinal hernia The natural passageway through
  the abdominal wall is called the inguinal canal.
  A protrusion of abdominal cavity content such as
  portion of intestine or internal fat through this
  canal due to a weakness is called Inguinal Hernia
  and is common among men.

• Incisional hernia Technically this type of
  hernia is due to incision in the abdominal area
  owing to a previous surgery. The skin may heal
  but the weakness in the abdominal wall in and
  around the area of surgery may cause the muscle
  to be pulled apart resulting in hernia.
• Epigastric hernia A weakness or opening of the
  muscles or bones between the breastbone and the
  navel may result in protrusions or fat bulges
  through it. Such herniations are called
  epigastric hernias.

7

• Hiatal or Hiatus hernia The upper part of the
  stomach pushing up through the diaphragm is known
  as Hiatal Hernia. This is primarily due to a tear
  or weakness in the diaphragm.
• Ventral hernia Abdominal hernias which may
  develop at birth or due to partial closure of
  abdominal wall are called ventral hernias. They
  may develop due to an incision done during
  abdominal surgery, which may not have healed
  properly.

• Umbilical hernia Generally occurring as a birth
  defect this type of hernia is a protrusion of the
  intestine or fat bulges through the abdominal
  wall under the navel or belly button. In adults
  it may develop in obese or pregnant women.

Factors will need to be taken into consideration
for Surgery

• The type of hernia 
• The content of the hernia 
• Symptoms and the impact on the daily life 
• Poor general health 

11
Treatment Option for Hernia

• The technique used to repair the hernia depends
  on its type, size and location.
• Open surgical repair closes the hernia using
  sutures, mesh, or both, and the surgical wound in
  the skin is closed with sutures, staples, or
  surgical glue.
• Laparoscopic repair is used for repeat
  operations to avoid previous scars, and while
  usually more expensive, is less likely to cause
  complications such as infection.

12
Preventions for Hernia

• Quit smoking
• Maintaining a healthy body weight
• Avoiding straining during bowel movements or
  urination
• Lifting objects with the knees and not through
  the back
• Avoiding lifting weights that are too heavy for
  you
