Leg Hernia Repair Procedure
Hernias in the leg are an uncommon cause of chronic leg pain. Leg hernias typically occur in the region of the upper thigh, where the femoral canal is located. This type of hernia is generally uncommon but is more common in women who are obese, pregnant, practice heavy lifting, or put repeated strain on the muscles near the groin. Typically, patients can find relief through conservative methods, but in some cases, surgical intervention may become necessary.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Leg hernia surgery is necessary when a hernia occurs in the leg and causes significant discomfort or complications. In most cases, surgical intervention becomes crucial to prevent further medical issues. Healthcare professionals typically recommend surgery if the hernia causes severe pain, difficulty walking or performing daily activities, or exhibits signs of incarceration or strangulation, such as nausea, vomiting, or an inability to pass gas or move the bowels. Additionally, if there is a sizeable bulging that cannot be manually pushed back into place or if the patient experiences recurrent hernias despite conservative treatment measures, surgery may be advised.
What To Expect
Patients are under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin by making an incision near the hernia to allow access to the area. The surgeon will then carefully reposition any protruding organs or tissues and reinforce the weakened area using mesh or sutures. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close the incision and the patient will be removed from the anesthesia.
After the procedure, patients may experience painful symptoms at the incision site. Patients must pay close attention to their symptoms and consult their doctor if they experience anything abnormal.
