3210170 tn?1346884553 Hi. My primary physician referred me to a general surgeon for hernia surgery. I have doubts about a general surgeon's ability to perform a laparoscopic bilateral procedure. Several reputable sources note that this surgery has a steep learning curve and that <200 surgeries per year would ensure enough experience. How do I find out a surgeon's experience? Are there accrediting organizations for specific procedures?
Avatar f tn The procedure is a good choice for people whose hernias recur following traditional hernia surgery because laparoscopic methods allow surgeons to work around scar tissue from earlier repair. It's also good for people who have hernias on both sides of the body (bilateral inguinal hernias). Disadvantages of laparoscopic repair include an increased risk of complications and of recurrence following surgery.
Avatar n tn Hi My sister has just had surgery for a hiatus hernia (360 degree wrap) but is very distressed as no-one (even the hospital) seems to be able to tell her about an aftercare. i.e Diet, what she should be eating after however many days and what to expect etc. When will she be able to do normal things etc.. Can anyone help please,.....
Avatar m tn If a patient has to much abdominal fat, it makes Laparoscopic surgery much more complicated and some times even impossible and then Surgeon has to do Open Fundoplication with more risks and even more complications. Make the decision today to go and see a Dietician and get on a healthy eating plan - almost like Weighless - by eating 5-6 small meals during the day and avoiding acid triggers.
Avatar f tn Hi, it depends on the extent of meshing that needs to be done. Laparoscopic hernia repair involves the placement of a mesh inside the abdomen without abdominal wall reconstruction. The mesh is fixed with sutures, staples, or tacks. The recurrence rate of the laparoscopic repair is reported as equal or less than that done with the open approach. So, discuss the possibilities with your doctor. Regards.

Avatar f tn i was hospitalized the next day for complications from hernia surgery. since then i have had problems and now im bleeding vaginally which i shouldnt be considering i dont have a period from a hysterectomy. i told my doctor and she said it was from irritation where my ovary was removed but the bleeding went from spotting to a light period. what should i do?
Avatar m tn so you can imagine nowadays with advanced surgery procedures like laparoscopic surgery and all that good stuff it does not hurt, you won't feel a thing and there won't be any scars....trust me go see a doctor as soon as possible, they will be able to answer all your questions, and like i said before be wary of hernia's developing later on in life because i'm 24 now and i just developed a hernia 18 years after my surgery working out doing sit ups and playing soccer....
Avatar n tn Looks like a pocket of pus. I would recommend reconsulting the physician who did the LS (Laparoscopic Surgery).
Avatar f tn I had laparoscopic surgery 12 days ago. They removed an ovarian cyst as wells as adhesions on my bowels and Fallopian tubes. I have had diarrhea off and on for about 5 days, I contacted my dr. and she told me this is normal when the bowel is involved and I have been taking Imodium that has been helping. Today I noticed some blood in my stool, do I need to be concerned? My dr is closed today and I don't know if I should go to the er.
1580703 tn?1651904887 The doctor examined me and found a groin hernia and I'm scheduled for surgery in sept. I think I want laproscopic but am I going to end up with permanent pain? will the mesh or non-tension method fail to stop the hernia from progressing? I think it's from the gym or coughing from this tracheotomy I'm getting this crippling nausea sometimes and sometimes protonix helps. is it from the hernia or diabetes or GERD? thanks!
1666825 tn?1303252659 There is a manual manipulation of the hiatal hernia that may help to see if it is the hernia...at least b4 u consider surgery.....check around ur area for a chiropractor that specializes in this....but do have ur heart checked first to be sure there is nothing else going on, and that ur GI agrees.
Avatar f tn Hey has anyone had a robotic Hernia surgery done before? I have two inguinal hernias and I wanted to know if the recovery time is quicker than a traditional laparoscopic? Thanks!
Avatar n tn This is a question that only your surgeon can really answer. It will depend on the extent of your previous surgeries, your tendency to form scar tissue or adhesions, your overall medical history, and your surgeon's level of comfort in using lap surgery in your case.
Avatar m tn I had laparoscopic surgery to repair an inguinal hernia. After 4 months, the hernia returned, and so I had a second repair surgery by incision. Now, 10 months after the second operation, I'm having some odd "tearing" pains and tenderness under the incision site, and down toward my groin. I'm trying to understand the geometry of the two repairs.
Avatar f tn Aside from your Gastroparesis, probably caused by your medication for your Barrett’s disease and acid reflux. Your stomach hernia can be repaired through minimal invasive, laparoscopic surgery which will help in minimizing acid reflux and worsening of Barrett’s disease. As for the diabetic neuropathy, in effect, not treated, it is progressive and affects the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and feel. There is specific medication available by Bayer Laboratories to revert these symptoms.
Avatar m tn When he was 6 years old he did orchiopexy surgery then 2017 pediatric surgery did laparoscopic surgery and found a right inguinal hernia . However, this hernia was never detected in ultrasounds, MRI's or CT's scans. After his surgery the pain got worse. Since 2017 he is having this pain on and off. Now, 2021 the pain is extreme and frequent it's daily at a level 9. He describes the pain likes pins and needles. He is having the pain in bilateral - groining area- femoral area as well.
Avatar n tn it should be very easy to tell from an external exam. exploratory laparoscopic surgery is not a good idea until other tests have been ruled out.
Avatar m tn An incisional hernia can occur years after a surgery, including a laparoscopic procedure. I have a hernia which has developed at the site where I had a procedure some time ago. The weakness in the abdominal wall is created by the incision, even a perfectly healed one. Then the wall is strained through excercise, heavy lifting and even weight gain causing the weaker portion of the abdominal wall to tear (herniate).
Avatar m tn I have a friend who is female age 61 who is scheduled for major surgery on a very large ventral hernia in 3 days. she has used Meth today and will not use anymore till surgery. What complications should she expect will happen and is there anything she could do to improve this situation. She is also a smoker of tobacco, but will start breathing treatments with ipratropi/alb and obstain from smoking also.
Avatar m tn What can I do? I have an extremely painful Hiatal hernia but cannot have surgery due to blood clots. Also, what alternative medicine is recommended?Please help. Thank You.
Avatar f tn Hi. I am having laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovary removel.(Brca gene) I have a one year old baby. I was told I can't pick up anything over 10pounds. No yoga or anything either . For 4 weeeks. Wow is this really true?? Is there a procedure with better post op recovery?
Avatar n tn They can cause hydroceles as a surgical complications and are not known to cause hernia unless there is strain on the surgical site.

Avatar m tn s and so I concluded that the only hope to fix this problem was to close the hiatal hernia. I found one of the most recognized surgeons in Argentina who is also the head of surgery in the GI department at the best hospital in Argentina. He told me he had done at least a thousand of these surgeries. Faced with a lifetime of throat clearing and cough I threw the dice and decided to have it done. Today is 28 November and the surgery was performed on 15 Nov.
Avatar m tn I'm an 18 year old male and back in December (12/8/08), I had Laparoscopic surgery for an appendicitis. Then about a month later (January), I noticed that my left side near my belly button was a bit swollen. You see, because I had laparoscopic surgery..one of the incisions they had to make was on my belly button.Any who, I noticed it was swollen, but I had no pain. Recently, about 4 weeks ago, I'm starting to get this dull/achy pain near the belly button incision.
