What Might Be The Treatment Possibilities For Possible Abdominal Hernia?
To get a confirmation as step by step approach
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Also noted previous communications with another Doctors.
The most important general rules about hernia are as follows:
First of all, get a confirmation by examination by a General Surgeon.
Confirmation by a Real time Ultrasonography and also to know the size of defect (neck) as this determines the urgency of repair. If the neck is narrow
then there are chances of obstruction of the internal abdominal contents like intestines and further complications needing to have an emergency life saving surgery.
Large defects usually allow the return of the contents to abdominal cavity.
Thirdly to get corrected all the medical problems, get fit for anesthesia and surgery.
It is the opinion of the operating Surgeon whether to go for an open repair or laparoscopic repair. You already have previous abdominal surgeries which may have a bearing on the decision.
I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Give feedback after a clinical evaluation and investigations.
Take care.
With Regards.
