How is Hernia Surgery performed? Before, During and After.
Doctors suggest Hernia Surgery (Hernioplasty) when there is a rupture in the muscles or internal wall, and the internal organs break through the barriers.
Before Hernia surgery
The doctor advises discontinuing intake of medicines before the surgery. The patient is required to avoid food and water 8 to 10 hours before the surgery.
During surgery
The surgeon cuts around the ruptured area and removes the damaged tissue. This hole or rupture is then covered with a mesh. The weak tissue around the mesh takes the support of the mesh material to regrow into the scaffolding and thus correct the hernia.
Hernia surgery recovery time
The recovery will depend on the type of surgery the patient has undergone. Recovery with a laparoscopic hernia surgery, for instance, is faster. The patient may be allowed to leave the hospital on the same day.
