Avatar f tn I have two inguinal hernias and I wanted to know if the recovery time is quicker than a traditional laparoscopic? Thanks!
Avatar n tn Hi aliparkone, If she has undergone a laparoscopic surgery, the recovery time is faster.She can go home in 2-3 days.She might have pain at the surgery site for which pain killers can be taken.Generally a semi-solid diet is presribed from the 2nd or 3rd day during the first week. If the semi-solid diet is tolerated well, then other foods can be slowly introduced. This usually takes 2-3 weeks.Complete recovery takes 2-3 weeks.
Avatar f tn How much time can I expect to be out of work after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery? I get a different answer from each person/doctor I talk to. I am a secretary and can keep from any type of lifting for whatever time I need to.
Avatar f tn 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 m tn 1- Go for a good urologist and surgeon using laparoscopic surgery which provides faster wound recovery and leaves no scars, as opposed to regular surgery which takes longer to heal the wound, and leaves a 2-3 inch c-section like scar in your groin area. 2- If money is an issue, get it done at an outside surgery facility not in a hospital, its cheaper, and has a lesser chance of infection... some hernia centers/ OBGYNs/Urologists and such have their own surgery facilities.
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.
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 m tn That's not unusual. Theses surgeries, most of the time, are laparoscopic. Your sibling having the procedure can't drive and they don't want to risk someone not being available when they need them to help their family member home. The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete, so is short and family often joins in recovery as they come out of anethesia. Covid may have changed things a little. But it is a pretty common practice.
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 n tn Looks like a pocket of pus. I would recommend reconsulting the physician who did the LS (Laparoscopic Surgery).
2085202 tn?1373199740 Laparoscopic fundoplication has low complication rates and a quick recovery. The procedure sometimes fails over time, requiring a second surgery to make repairs. Discuss all the possibilities and the outcomes with your doctor and then decide on the surgical option. In the meantime follow lifestyle measures to help with your symptoms. Take frequent small meals. Eat dinner about two hours before sleeping. Elevate the head end of the bed.
Avatar m tn its not that expensive depending on where you live, and if you want to get back to your regular life/sport as soon as possible i suggest doing a laparoscopic surgery, takes one day stay in the hospital or even as an outpatient procedure depending on recovery, and within two to three weeks you'll be back in the game...
926462 tn?1284819011 s the recovery time on this kind of surgery? I will google it and check it out..i really appreciate your help.
Avatar f tn Hi Steph, I recently had a laparoscopic surgery plus a c section done last aug 13 and up to now I am still recovering. I did noticed tho that after a week I felt much better. I really wished that what they did was just the laparoscopic surgery like what was planned but since they did not expect me to have stage 4 endo they had to do c section and open me up to to actually do what they needed done.
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!
Avatar f tn I have had a couple of laparoscopic surgeries and abdominal surgery. Recovered quickly after the laparoscopic procedure, maybe a week. Your doctor should have given you post op instructions as to lifting, driving, etc.
Avatar f tn You do not mention what type of surgery is planned. The MINIMUM recovery is 2 weeks for keyhole/laparoscopic surgery. For open surgery, 6 weeks. Even if you have the smaller surgery, you will be forbidden to lift anything heavier than 5 pounds for a week or 2, so lifting pots and serving dishes will be out of the question. You need others to do the cooking, cleaning and lifting while you recover. This is abdominal surgery and even the lesser surgery is a big deal internally.
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 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 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 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).
1262699 tn?1277854959 I had a c section on the 26th of April. Have had bad pain since. Was put back in the hospital 2 1/2 weeks after c section. That infection resolved itself, but now very bad pain right above my incision. The Dr is doing laparoscopic surgery next week, don't know how I can go another week with this pain, but she thinks that it is more of a nerve stuck. She said that she could not do both surgeries at the same time.
329165 tn?1515471990 I think keyhole and laparoscopic surgery are the same procedure, but I could be wrong. At any rate, I had the laparoscopic procedure. It leaves five very small scars, and frankly I'd ask about it. I have a big zipper scar going down my chest, and think an additional 3mm scar or two two not be intrusive. Perhaps you had some mesh mixed into your previous surgeries, or their is some reason they are reluctant.
Avatar n tn I think it takes time to heal after a rectocele surgery. I think you're coming along fine. Your surgery was in Oct, how do you feel now? I just has the surgery on the 15th of Decemeber......healing is taking longer than I expected, but I'm doing okay. Is your life back to normal? I'm wondering if I'll ever feel "normal" again.
