ROBOTIC INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR

I am an 88-year-old retired male with a happy normal life staying with family. I have recently observed a lump developing in my right groin region. it increases in size when I stand. Within a few months, the size of the defect increased and found pain while doing routine activities. I went to meet my family physician and he suspected INGUINAL HERNIA. He referred me to Dr Ashish Vashistha, BEST HERNIA SURGEON IN DELHI, BEST LAPAROSCOPIC / ROBOTIC HERNIA SURGEON AT MAX HOSPITAL SAKET DELHI.

Dr. Ashish Vashistha, the BEST HERNIA SURGEON IN DELHI, thoroughly evaluated my case and came to the conclusion that there was a Right Inguinal hernia he suggested ROBOTIC BILATERAL MESH REPAIR OF the INGUINAL HERNIA.

I was anxious to know all about INGUINAL HERNIAS and Dr Ashish Vashistha, BEST HERNIA SURGEON IN DELHI  EXPLAINED ABOUT IT IN DETAIL-

What are the advantages of Robotic Hernia Repair Surgery? Why should I opt for this technology?

The decision about choosing a technique depends on many aspects:-

1.    Type of hernia

2.    Size of hernia

3.    Patients age

4.    Medical conditions

5.    Previous surgery history

6.    Fitness for surgery

7.    Infrastructure of hospital

8.    Surgeon’s experience.

Dr Ashish Vashistha, BEST HERNIA SURGEON IN DELHI, EXPLAINED ABOUT –

There are several potential advantages of robotic surgery over laparoscopic. One of the biggest differences between laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery is that robotics technology provides three-dimensional (3D) images of the inside of your abdomen. Laparoscopic surgery provides two-dimensional images. The more detailed, 3D images create a clearer picture for your surgeon to operate.

Other benefits of Robotic Hernia Surgery include:

• Surgeons can manipulate robots in difficult planes where human hands can’t reach them.
• Robotic technology gives tiny scars rather than one large incision scar (as with open surgery).
• Robotic technology gives less pain after this surgery compared to open surgery.
• Expect a quicker recovery time than with open surgery.

Dr Ashish Vashistha, BEST HERNIA SURGEON IN DELHI, EXPLAINED ABOUT THAT:-

How much time does it take to recover after Robotic Hernia Surgery?

• Recovery is quick
• Start your routine work in 2-3 days
• Medication should be taken as prescribed.
• Start walking in your apartment next day onwards
• Mild exercise can be started in 5-7 days
• For extensive CARDIO / STRENGTH TRAINING / CORE TRAINING EXERCISES, please ask your doctor about it in detail.

LAPAROSCOPIC HERNIA REPAIR ALSO GIVES GOOD RESULTS.

IT IS ADVISABLE TO DO BILATERAL MESH REPAIR WHEN EVEN UNILATERAL HERNIA IS DIAGNOSED.

LET THE DECISION OF DECIDING ON TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY & USAGE OF MESH BE TAKEN BY THE SURGEON. HE UNDERSTANDS IT BETTER.

In my case, BILATERAL INGUINAL MESH HERNIA REPAIR WAS DONE WITH DA VINCI SURGICAL SYSTEM.

I WAS DISCHARED ON 3rd DAY AND DOING VERY WELL TILL NOW.
