About The Hernia Repair Program
Hernia repair and treatment are essential surgical procedures aimed at correcting the protrusion of an organ, typically the intestine, through an abnormal opening in the abdominal wall or surrounding tissues. This condition often results from a combination of factors, including heavy lifting, chronic coughing, obesity, and a predisposed weak area in the abdominal wall.
The repair can be performed using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which involve smaller incisions and quicker recovery times. In most cases, a mesh may be used to reinforce the abdominal wall, reducing the risk of recurrence. Post-operative care is crucial, with patients advised to avoid strenuous activities for a specified period. Early intervention is key, as untreated hernias can lead to complications like strangulation, where blood supply to the affected organ is compromised. Overall, hernia repair at Beleza Surgery not only alleviates pain but also restores normal function and quality of life.
