The London Day Surgery
Centre hernias
are performed as day cases. They take less than an hour and can be carried out
under local anaesthetic. The advantages of local anaesthetic are not
having to starve, recovering quickly, not feeling sick and light-headed and
remaining in control at all times.  After the operation patients can be up
and about straightaway after local anaesthetic but stay in the specialised
recovery area for around sixty minutes after a general anaesthetic.

What is a hernia?

A Hernia is a lump
which occurs when part of the bowel or other abdominal tissue protrudes through
an area of weakness in the wall of the abdomen.  When this occurs in the
groin area it is either an ‘inguinal’ hernia or a femoral Hernia but Hernias can
also occur at or near the umbilicus and in old abdominal scars.  We repair
all types of Abdominal Hernia at the London Day
Surgery except Hiatus
Hernia which is an internal hernia.

The Operation

In the repair operation the
hernia sac is pushed back through the gap in the muscles into its proper place
inside the abdomen and the gap is reinforced by non-tension mesh.  This is
a sheet of material which looks a bit like nylon curtain but is far
stronger.  All the skin stitches are absorbable and do not require
removal.  The mesh remains for ever, becoming tough scar tissue, holding
the hernia back.

After Hernia Surgery

It will be necessary to
rest for a while after the repair and you will be given painkiller tablets as
required.  You will very soon be encouraged to get out of bed and move
about.  This may be uncomfortable but it will not cause any damage and it
will speed-up your recovery.

You will be able to go home
within an hour or so of the end of the operation if it was under a local
anaesthetic or from your recovery time, which varies from patient to patient,
if you had a general.  If you have a general anaesthetic you must have a
friend or relative to take you home and stay with you till at least the next
morning but you may also wish this after a local.
