Inguinal hernia is a swelling under the skin where the intestines or organs in the abdomen protrude from weak areas in the abdominal wall. Hernias are divided into two as direct and indirect hernias, depending on the way they occur. Hernias protruding from layers such as the muscle and muscle sheath are called direct hernias, and hernias protruding from the inguinal canal are called indirect hernias. The treatment method for both types is the same.
Umbilical hernia is a condition that usually results from the protrusion of the intestines or the fat tissues in the abdomen due to the weakening of the muscles around the belly button. This region is the second weakest region in the abdominal wall after the inguinal canal. The hernia, which starts as a small opening at first, grows larger over time.
Hernias arising from previous surgical incisions are called surgical site hernia or incisional hernia. The incidence after open abdominal surgery is quite high, at 15-20%. These hernias enlarge over time and can be more difficult to repair. They cause cosmetic issues and pain. From time to time, they can get stuck and cause other problems. They may require emergency surgery due to the strangulation of the organs entering the hernia, albeit a little.
Epigastric hernia is the anterior abdominal wall hernia seen in the midline between the navel and the chest. They are usually small. There can be more than one.
Sportsman's hernia is a condition characterized by chronic inguinal pain. Although a complete hernia cannot be detected, it can be described as a weakness of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal or often as a muscle or tendon tear in the inguinal canal. It is an important problem frequently seen in professional athletes.
The primary goal in hernia surgery is to prevent recurrence of the repair. The most important reason for recurrences is the tension of the repair. That's why patching is used. With patching, repairs can be made without tension. Recurrent hernias should definitely be repaired with a patch.
