He is opposed to even twilight sedation, so we are looking for a surgeon in Rhode Island or Massachusetts who will be willing to do open surgery on his hernia, using mesh and spinal anesthetic to numb him below the waist. He wants to be awake for the procedure. Please let me know if you know of a surgeon like this in our area, who will be willing to meet his preferences.
Thank you.
Hello all -
I have surgery scheduled in September and was wondering if anyone here had to take a long flight after their decompression surgery. I have a 6 hour flight (with 2 stops) to Milwaukee and it would therefore be about a 23 hour drive (though DH would have to drive!) and was wondering what would be less torture. I have a hard enough time flying with my regular headaches and it seems that experiencing that kind of air pressure/airport traffic, etc.
changing docs isnt that easy i live on a very small island only one hospital its very expensive to leave this island. i dont trust the docs here ive heard too many bad stories. the surgery i got was cardiac ablation i think i had tachycardia. i had to go to seattle when i got it. i dont take any meds.
Anyway my question is has anyone had a surgery other than the nissen fundo to repair the hernia. I am interested in having mine fixed but do NOT want my stomach wrapped around my esophagus. I'd like for a surgeon to just go in and pull the stomach to its proper position and sew up the hole in the diaphram essentially returning everything to its natural order.
Why have you decided against bypass surgery? blockages of 90,99,90% are severe and he could end up with a lot of dead heart muscle, causing heart failure. If the hernia isn't causing major problems, I would leave it alone. In many cases surgery isn't a long term fix. Just coughing can cause the muscle to re-open and cause the hernia again. I have a small one and the recommendation was to leave it alone.
I am sorry to hear you have a hernia but at least you finally have answers to the pain you've been experiencing. I have not had a hernia (or don't think that is the cause of my occasional twinges of pain/discomfort) so cannot answer any questions about surgery. Hope all goes well!
I had hernia surgery a year ago, not too long after the surgery i realized that it was back. I didn't think anything about it, but the past month I have had really bad pain, worse pain than when I got it fixed the first time. The doctor just used permanent sutures the first time, is there any way that I could have this surgery without having to have the mesh screen put in this time? Also, my abdominal muscles are separated pretty bad, could I ask the general surgeon about diastasis repair?
Hi. Iam 32 years old. Before 12 years i had a minor surgery fixing the umbilical hernia right above my navel. During last period of time i was living normal life doing all physical activities as others after fixing my hernia.
But now its back again and i can see it while i am coughing or when i pull in my abdomon.
I am being fat and overweight since last 6months(height:170cm, weight:90kg).
In August I had a second traditional open surgery for the same hernia...During the winter it also failed..I am wondering whether to try surgery again with all the misery and difficulty or try to live with it with a truss..The surgeon insists that this has not happened in 500 such operations and that additional surgery will require considerably more work and methods due to all the mesh involved.
I am very active and need input...Please offer suggestions....
well,most hiatal hernias do not need surgery,and there are simple things to do to help if it bugs you,,,try elevating the head of your bed several inches,this keeps the stomach pushing downward,,and not from pushing up into the hernia.
when it gives you pain,,try drinking a big glass of water,this often helps also.
as far as a sliding hernia,ive NEVER heard of this before.,,though i am not a doc,,me and my father both have one,and i kinda know more then most on this subject.
So to start I am a spinal patient, have nerve damage relating to a spinal surgery I had almost 10 years ago. It's expected that my digestive system will run slower than normal. Unrelated about a year ago I had an abdominal hernia repaired, I though perhaps my symptoms were related to that, at the time before the repair I had all standard bloodwork done and a CT scan which noted nothing unusual aside from the hernia.
