How do you remove a hernia in urethra wall?
A hernia in the urethral wall cannot be removed, but it can be repaired. Hernias of the urethra are rare, and in women are due to weakening of the anterior vaginal wall caused by childbirth and are repaired through the vagina. Hernias that involve the male urethra (common in India, rare elsewhere) may involve the scrotum and require incision of the external genitalia. This surgery may be performed via robotic-assisted minimally invasive approaches depending on the type of hernia, symptoms that it cause, the anatomy as well as surgeon and patient. Robotic approach can provide benefits over the standard technique including more delicate tissue handling, greater magnification as well as better visualization leading to more precise reconstruction that can reduce occurrence of post-operative complication in both men and women.
