Laparoscopic surgery treatment of inguinal hernias, a common health problem that affects the quality of life, offers a rapid recovery process. Surgery Specialist Assoc. Dr. Mehmet Ali Gök gave important information about the treatment methods of inguinal hernias.
Inguinal hernias are a common condition that can seriously affect quality of life. This condition occurs when organs protrude from a weak point in the abdominal wall. General Surgery Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ali Gök, who works at Medipol Health Group, gave information on the causes, symptoms and treatment methods of inguinal hernias. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gök underlined the advantages offered by laparoscopic surgery and stated that this modern method provides patients with a rapid recovery process.
Causes and symptoms of inguinal hernias
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ali Gök stated that inguinal hernias are usually caused by factors such as congenital weak abdominal wall tissue, physical activities such as heavy lifting or aging. Stating that hernias occur with a significant swelling, pain and discomfort especially in the groin area, Gök said, “While these symptoms increase with movement, they may decrease with rest. Even a small lump can be felt in the hernia area.”
Laparoscopic surgery: a modern and comfortable treatment method
Referring to the advantages offered by laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of inguinal hernias, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gök stated that this method provides benefits such as less pain, small surgical scars and rapid healing process due to its minimally invasive nature. “Laparoscopic surgery is performed through several small incisions in the abdominal cavity. With the help of a thin camera, the hernia area is visualized and repaired with special surgical instruments. In this way, patients experience a much more comfortable recovery process compared to traditional open surgery.”
Fast recovery and low risk of complications
Gok, who gave information about the postoperative period of laparoscopic surgery, said that patients usually stay in the hospital for a short time and can usually be discharged the next day. “Mild pain, swelling and temporary discomfort may be experienced after surgery. However, the healing process is usually fast and patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. It is very important to follow the doctor's recommendations to minimize the risk of complications,” he added.
Reliable and effective treatment
Emphasizing the importance of people who experience any symptoms related to inguinal hernias to consult a healthcare professional without wasting time, Gök said, “Laparoscopic surgery gives very successful results in experienced hands. As Medipol Health Group, we offer this service in the best way with our advanced technical infrastructure.”
